A Ford ZX2 (auto) wants to race my civic lx(auto) will I win? I have some after market parts for my car, and the ZX2 has none "bone-stock". I would like to know your opinions. To remove this ad, register today for free or log in if already registered!

Lets look at the specs....
zx2- 130hp@5750rpm
-127lbs torque
-4 speed auto
-2.0l eng.
-9.6:1 compretion

civic lx -115hp@6100rpm
-110lbs torque
-4speed auto
-1.7l eng
-9.5:1 compretion

depending on what your extras are you it should be close. but overall you should win. your lighter and have a better gear ratio and top out rpm. give him hell and let the honda name stand proud.....good luck.

best thing for you to do is put it in 1, run it up as high as you can, then shift to 2, and eventually go to drive. If the other guy doesn't do it, then it'll give you a little advantage.

wanna know my opinion? bullsh*t comments like that dont make you smart, just a p/w. Once again do we have to turn this into another one of those "auto vs. stick" drag racing threads? Anyone here thats going to give their 2 cents is going to comment on how some of the BEST drag racers use an automatic transmission. If we really want to get into how not having a manual for road racing is NOT racing either, then why dont we all just say that its not really racing if you dont have rear whel drive either? Or how about we just say if you dont have manual transmission, rear wheel drive, OR know how to drift your car its not really racing (watch too much Initial D lately or something)? Dude, get a F**kin life and quit hashin on everyone else.

i really really hate to say it but before my civic and before my prelude i owned a 5-speed zx2 and i know that it (bone-stock) could run with my 5-speed ex coupe (dc tcs exhaust). so, depending on how your mods are, i would have to put my money on the escort, even tho they have the absolute sh*tiest transmissions ever!

i thought when you were deciding to "change your identity" i thought it was a real change where you were actually going to contribute something, but yet you continue to be the unhelpful doosh bag joeb always was.
