If it is a vti, and your celi has not any special modifications, you propably have no chance! It is the v-tec that makes these honda real fast, even if you have 10-15 more horsepower than them! |

it would be pretty even... but yes, when vtec kicks in, you probably will fall behind a little. but the thing is, we have power right from the get-go, honda's really only have that power band after vtec kicks in, which is at 5500rpm's for those civic's... so you might stand a chance, just depends what speed you race til i suppose.

What kind've distance are you talking about? If you're just talking about stoplight to stoplight why not? Go for it.

VTec doesnt make Hondas real fast.
10-15 hp isnt a deciding factor. Dont waste your time with ricers. -------------------- |

I totally agree, vtec doesnt make them fast. Ease of swaps and tons of aftermarket parts and the FAST AND THE FURIOUS made hondas fast. -Matt I hate hondas, I worked for honda for 2 years. |

Man if its a LX accord you can whoop it. THe civic 99, im almost positive you can whoop it. LX doesnt have vtec, and the EX, im not sure, but i dont think they do especially if its a 99.

I dont know if streetracing is a waste of time, but personally i enjoy it wherever it takes place, in the road or in the dragster races... I hate honda too, and i would not ever buy one because i am a fan of supercharged awd cars. So, as long 12 years that i drive, i had a Lancia Integrale, Nissan GTI-R, and now my beloved Celica for me, and a Mitsubishi Evo6 for me and my family. Never had and never will get a Honda.. But i know that it is a fact that Hondas VTI or TYPE-R, are really fast cars if you consider that they dont have turbos. I dont see any difference in aftermarket parts than the rest Japanese makes. As there is Mugen for them, there is trd for us, nismo for nissan etc. If you have enough money you can have whatever you like, right? Also, they cannot have as much horsepower as we can by upgrading our turbos.. At the moment, the best Type-r that i ever heard, has only 330hp and the cost for the owner was about 30000$ as they must pay a fortune to mugen or hondata for the special parts. So, if you have a gt-four, plus 30000$ for swaps, you propably will get double the hpower of that honda, right? So my opinion is that IF YOU ARE INTERESTED in races, and you hate Honda you must have a turbo celica..An St will be humiliated, a GT will have no chance, but a descent gt-four will bring tears to their eyes.. If you are not interested, you can just ignore them and enjoy your car with your own way. I hope i have made myself clear. |

Not saying their bad cars, the ITR is a really nice car IMO, and def. quick for what it is and a great competitor. I just think the term really fast is a bit strong for it.

racing slow cars is like competing in the special olympics, even if you win, your still retarded.
