Hi,
I was wondering how fast does a normal stock civic 1.7 sohc vtec auto run from 0-100 km/h ? The magazine used an electronic machine which I forgot what it was callled, attached to the wheel or body of the car when conducting the test so this is not a human stop watch test, purely electronics. Honest opinions pls. ?

Is your car equipped with automatic transmission and is it in stock condition ? Any mods to the engine. If your car was auto, how did you sprint so fast, what rpm do you normally lauch to get the best time. I'm not racing or anything, I just wanted to know how to make the best out of auto. For me, I've tried putting the gear in D mode, while using my left foot to hit on the brake to keep the car still, I use my right foot and press on until about 4000 rpm and then let go of my left foot and just stepped on the gas.

The point is, Lexi arnt race cars. Nor are they "fast" by any standards. If I were to get a "fast" luxury car it would HAVE to be an M3 or something of the like such as an Audi S4.
MY point is that his dads luxo boat is still, comparatively speaking, SLOW. And unless hes got some work done to it it’s not running anywhere near high 13s in the 1/4 mile, and therefore won’t keep up with my "slow" 1.6l civic, let alone my CBR which runs 11s stock out of the box.
You also forget, were not talking about an economy model 7th gen civic. I bought my car for 16,500. Ran 15.2 stock. Id say, comparatively speaking, my car is as quick if not quicker then the average "sport compact car" out on the market today. This includes everything from the SER Spec V to the RSX-S. and when price is factored in, it actually comes out on top.
Those terms are all relative.[hr]

No s-hit they are relative.. so stop calling Corolla & Civics slow. You think your SiR is FAST? It sure doesn't do 13s. That guy was comparing econo box vs econo box.. and in RELATIVE, Corolla is the QUICKEST in its class.
Thread after thread, you talk so much smack. You like hiding behind your computer 14 hours a day, putting down other people's cars.. calling them slow.. dog pictures of "owned"...
Why don't you offer something USEFUL? i havent seen you post anything constructive except pictures of cars you found on other sites. you're a little post *****!

Rep Power: 0 Element- So what's the verdict? Think Corollas made some improvements with this one? Think the one you raced was slow? Or might be a good contender against the Civic had it been a stick?

Grand Cherokee V8? I don't think so........
76 Vette? Unless its got NOS, Supercharger or any highend mods Idont' think so. If it's stock there's no way it could beat the lexus.
Mommy GSR? I hope you have either NOS or Supercharger....than it'll be close.
Know your facts dude......... The fastest Cherokee had the 5.9 L and it only does low 15's...............the GSR stock does mid 15s...........stock 76 vet does low to mid 15s as well.
Did you know that 82-83 vettes did around 7-8sec range from 0-60mph?
As far as stock GS400? it does 14.5 stock in 1/4 mile...........0-60;under 6 secs.

my car is pretty much stock except for my custom exhaust....
as for ur style... im not sure whats better for autos... i would just start at the lowest gears and work ur way up to 3rd... that way its like ur driving a manual but u have more control over ur acceleration, when ur rpms hit 6k then switch to a higher gear... cause the autos kinda lag when shifting.... the autos use a hydromatic type of drivetrain i belive... so trying to press the brake and the gas wont work... u could always do a neutral drop... but that kinda will hurt ur tranny in the long run. i really dont think the autos need to have a launch rpm... just press the gas and go
thats about all i really can tell u about that
well my sister has a 97 corolla and i tell u... the 2003 deserves a big
personally i think the corolla is out of our league unless its an auto.... then its pretty close... i mean he i didnt win by much... and for an auto.. .that was dam fast
had the corolla been a stick... he woulda been gone!!!!!

EDIT: forgot something... speaking of fast luxury cars. such as the 540i or GS400. Those are Sports Sedans. I would think a fast luxury car would be something like a 745... they still do 0-60 in less than 6 with an auto...

Rep Power: 0 why are you guys racing with these luxury cars. There's a guy on my forum that knows somebody that has a Mclaren F1 and he asked him why he never taken it to the track and you know what he said. "I couldn't imagine losing to a civic with $10,000 worth of mods when I know I paid a million bucks for mine." The MClaren F1 isn't a dragster and it's known for it's topend speed. It probably does about 11-12's in the 1/4 mile but, there are civics and integra's out there that do that and better. So this guy is smart, he knows he has a fast car but he doesn't take it out to go race, besides why would he want to ruin such a good car. Save the luxury cars for a nice weekend drive. If you want to race a lexus, just buy a IS300 and mod that. The GS400 is a nice car though.

Dude...the guy with the Mclaren is nuts....so what if you get spanked by a civic......or a $30000 Camaro SS or $5000 88 Stang 5.0 with Nos and Supercharger....bottem line is "We race for fun" isn't it? Why do Civic drivers race when the car is meant to be one of the best economy cars available? Honda civic is peppy and it could be really fast but most of us purchase the car because of it's great reliability, gas mileage, and low operating costs plus it's fun to drive!! Tell him to go out and have fun with the car......otherwise I could show him how to have some fun with it![hr]

Rep Power: 0 Lol you know what's the sad part? The Corolla S has the same engine as the CE and LE. So thats' why I bought a CE b/c that means I'm paying $4000 more for a skirt kit and fog lights. In other words, even the lowest models Corollas can give the EX a run for its money or comparable to the EX. That's somewhat disappointing for a car that costs so much less. Heck it makes me wonder why I paid $27,000 Can. for a Si (ex) when I pay $22,000 for a CE that performs better and looks are comparable.

Oh and when I said looks were comparable, as in Sedan to Sedan comparison. Civic coupe looks way better of course ( =

My friend...........all Corollas are the same mechanically. Same engine, tranny, gear ratio, etc etc etc. The differences are it's equipments, options, cosmetics, interior bits and pieces. You know what's also another underated car is? 2000-2002 Corolla. They are lighter and has same VVTi engine but 5 horses less. Not as fast as Civic Si /SiR(Canadian) but quicker than all SOHC civic motors. The last gen Corollas handles kinda crappy though. Trust me , I had 2000 Corolla and it was quick.

just cause its got the same engine doesnt mean that its necessarily the same car.... the tranny ratios might be different, and the tire sizes are a little bigger... im not sure what the real differences are... but i still think the 2003 corolla deserves my [hr]

Lol you know what's the sad part? The Corolla S has the same engine as the CE and LE. So thats' why I bought a CE b/c that means I'm paying $4000 more for a skirt kit and fog lights. In other words, even the lowest models Corollas can give the EX a run for its money or comparable to the EX. That's somewhat disappointing for a car that costs so much less. Heck it makes me wonder why I paid $27,000 Can. for a Si (ex) when I pay $22,000 for a CE that performs better and looks are comparable.[hr]

My friend...........all Corollas are the same mechanically. Same engine, tranny, gear ratio, etc etc etc. The differences are it's equipments, options, cosmetics, interior bits and pieces. You know what's also another underated car is? 2000-2002 Corolla. They are lighter and has same VVTi engine but 5 horses less. Not as fast as Civic Si /SiR(Canadian) but quicker than all SOHC civic motors. The last gen Corollas handles kinda crappy though. Trust me , I had 2000 Corolla and it was quick.[hr]

hmmm. well is a 2000 corolla as quick as the new ones? because a friend of mine has a 2001 (auto), and I pull more than a car length on him if we race. i can't remember by how much, but my car is definatly a lot quicker than his.[hr]

I hope that you have an auto as well dude. You have to remember that the 1ZZFE engine is the same engine thats found in Celica GT and the Matrix/Vibe......except that it has detuned exhaust, cam, intake.

Rep Power: 0 no no. i've got 5spd. so it makes sense that i beat him. the only reason i was saying a car length is because that's what this guy with the 5spd EX pulled on the Auto 2003. but yea. i really burn the 2001 Auto, because it's an auto.
