not quite. They're 2900lbs (manual). My bro is getting one, so i had the oppurtunity to have a go at a test drive. Needless to say... 2.4l DOHC... 160hp @5700rpm...163lbs tq@4000rpm... closely geared transmission... it will, without a doubt smoke your civics.

hmm.... unless you raced an auto tC or the driver couldnt shift fast... hmmm........ just find it a bit odd, good job on the kills though...

tripledoublegs · 10-25-2004

hmm, shitty drivers IMO

first off, i believe you meant to say: "You're?"
secondly, there was no mention of vettes whatsoever in this thread.
what was the point of your post?

KalliGarri · 10-25-2004

yes it was an auto tC.. he wanted 2 car head start at 20 mph role.. we did that.. we stayed the saem from 1-2 gear.. and then 3rd gear.. i passed

lol. started from a roll was your biggest atvantage.

a manual tC runs a faster 1/4 & 60 foot time than a Si according to car and driver.

auto is almost 3000lb that is a bit on the chunky side. that 160hp is from the crank so 400+lbs figure a 30hp difference (+3 for the exhaust) manual vs an auto I say this is very possible. Good kill!!!!!
and rsxtc why don't you join the scion forum, by the way 2.4 litters of displacement and only 163lbs of torque NOT TO IMPRESSIVE

Good kill? Hardly. Auto tCs are slugs...even more so from a roll. They run mid-high 16s in the 1/4 mile.

"Only 163lbs of tq?" Find me another naturally aspirated 2.4l 4cylinder engine which makes more/comparable tq, then talk. The only one i can think of is the K24 found in the TSX which makes 166lbs tq. Try not to forget that the tC makes about 50lbs more tq than an EX civic.

"Join a tC forum?". I am a member of one. Just putting you in your place.
