a dx vs a ex would be a closer match. with lx you lose alot of power due to a/c and other mumbojumbo.

If cars could only drive themselves... in the same fashion...

EX would win.

But since they don't, and the cars don't differ too much from HP and torque, it's gonna be close thanks to the driving skills of the LX... and he may just be victorious. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

Yup yup........it'll depend on the driver. The difference in the ex & dx is not so great that it would make the driver factor insignificant.

Does it matter? Since you are obviously going to a racetrack, they give you timeslips.......

And if the ex is stock and the dx has some mods like intake and exhaust it'll be even closer.

DX POWER!!

An ex will beat an lx all day.Now if he does not know how to drive you will beat him.

I've beat 5 or 6 EX's in my LX. They're not far enough apart in power to make a difference. It's all driver baby, all driver. Yet to see one that can beat me.
