if both cars are both stock, which one will win base on EX trim.

7th

I raced a co-worker in his 2000 LX which he says has a base hp of 107 and he had a CAI and muffler and I won by half a car length with just a stock engine.

well, i dont know about you guys, but im bettin on the 7thgen....
i raced a stock EX, with exhaust and maybe intake.... now i have a series of mods, so it really wasnt any fair race by any means, but lets just say he could not keep up AT ALL!! fully on it, not even in quarter mile length, i led him by atleast 5-7 car lengths...

The funny thing is... he's telling the truth... (I dunno about 5-7 car lengths though but he's easily manhandled EXs) you and your damn HP headers and cam gears.

Oh, and I'm not the one of the many EXs he raced against with his LX.


7th Gen Civics are faster than 6th Gen Civics stock. I dunno exactly how but if someone can explain the technicalities, I wanna hear.

My guess with the 7th gen, just because it's newer [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

i'll race you all!!!...i am...the protector of the 6th gen...[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

yah but for real...i smoked a stock 7th gen ex...but i have i/h/e , maybe just bad driver?

It was for sure a bad driver...even with your i/h/e, the 7th gen actually have TORQUE...114 torque on the ex model...
i believe an Si has 111 torque... not sure tho

the 7th gen has more torque than the 6th gen... HP is the same..... it all comes down to who is a better driver

nope, i smoked 99 or 00 ex easily

i want to ask the 7th gen has a 1.7 engine which is 100cc more than the 6th one.
wat will this make a difference?

yes, (usually) if the engine has more capacity = more torque

but aren't 7th gens heavier than 6th gens?

what about gear ratios? manual or automatic etc? aerodynamics, drag coefficient (Cd) etc..........

trim for trim, transmission for transmission, 7th gen civics are overall faster than previous gen.

but not by much... and the difference can easily be removed with the driver factor.

the 7th gen civics (excluding Si) doesn't have 100 more cc... its 1668 or so cc, compared to previous gen's 1598 or whatever cc. (this is a guess, I dont remember the exact numbers, but I do remember that the increase in displacement is less than 70 cc.)

in either case though, the 7th gens do have plenty more power through the powerband to work with than the previous gen's. its mid range is also more able.

in terms of weight, trim for trim, I think the difference is only around 40 lbs. if anything, isn't over 100 lbs.

I am however unsure of the gear ratio factors, cuz I dont remember what they were. heh.

so yeah, we're quicker by a bit, but it sure isn't anything I'll brag about.

I've beat 00 EX's. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] Stock and modded.

My girlfriend has a 99' that she thought could take me, but I schooled her on the way to beaumont one day by taking her by over 2 car lengths. 7th gen would definately win, unless the 6th gen had some serious mods.

7g...all the way...and we scream louder too..cause the 1 and only cam is workin very hard...

Well, even a base 7thgen LX/DX dyno's a lot more torque(6ft-lbs+) than a 6thgen EX, so, of course we can beat them!

Beaumont eh? You go to Lamar?

We should organize a meet with 6th gens and 7th gens and after chillin around, eating some bbq we could find out the truth. Best out of 100 races wins!
