first of all edit that post quick before you get majorly flamed with those HP numbers....your lucky i just got a take home final and i am in a good mood

second 4th gen owner say 4th gen because they are slightly lighter and have better gearing.....i guess the 4th gen is like a few tenths faster in the quarter stock vs. stock.

and its VTEC

btw::
4th gen ( 92-96 ) 5th gen ( 97-01 )

lol, take home test/finals rule! just had TWO take home tests in my psych class.. wooooohooooo!!!!!

and yes, edit your post please..

 

I doubt a fourth gen is any faster than a fifth gen base. I would like to race someone though to find out for sure...

 

according to car and driver, a 4th gen vtec is faster by 3/10's of a second. i'm not a mag racer by any means and i think it ultimately depends on the driver. 3/10's of a second is too close to determine this question.

 

who wants to race my 5th gen in a 4th gen???

well said

 

It's a drivers race.

 

agreed, its a drivers race, but ive never heard anyone say that the 5th gen is faster stock for stock either, only 4th. and ya the mags say it too. but really, they are very very close
marsh

 

Who cares about drag racing anyway? Why not use the cars what they were designed to do--turning?

 

generally the 4th gen is faster. it's just a fact, nobody really disputes it..

 

what about an Si? could it hang with a 5speed 5th gen?

 

No.

 

AHEM....4th gen Si w/ 5th gen 5-speed....YES....case and point...me. Anyways, ya even here its a drivers race, and like was mentioned b4 its all good as long as a 'lude comes out on top.

 

A stock 4th gen Si will be faster in the quarter mile than a stock 5th gen?

no it won't. unless somebody really can't drive

 

Whoa where can I line up to get one of these fifth gens with 240 hp ????

LOL...............

 

5-speed H23 &gt; or = SS 5th gen

a well driven healthy 4th gen VTEC will generally beat a well driven healthy 5th gen VTEC, stock vs. stock. When you start putting on boltons, the several feet turn to several car lengths.

 

Thats what I thought. Apparently Slatelude has a different opinion.

93 mph (stock trap speed) x 5280 = 491040 ft/hr.

491040 / 60 = 8184 ft/min.

8184 / 60 = 136.4 ft/sec

136.4 x 0.3 = 40.9 feet.

41 feet
If you loose by the length of a city bus, don't think that everyone in the stands won't be able to determine that.
