[hr]Magazine times are never really accurate...
Different drivers, different cars..different clutches.....
If I hop in a vette for the first time and run it down the track..I"m not gonna get as good a number as someone who's been dragging the same car for years...
Also..the DX/LX's have a much smoother power band and more torque available lower down then the ex's...the EX's before vtec have less power than a DX/LX for better fuel economy which is what our cars designed for... as for 1/4 mile times.. DX's and EX's run almost identical times due to the weight differences..LX's are the slowest of the lot..(by at most 2 10'ths of a second..)... if you want the most power for your buck..get an Injen CAI. and some port work...It'll be cheaper than headers and exhaust..and have the same gains...then you can headers(kamikazi or HP only..both are for off road use only) and exhaust later[hr]

Well said buddy! ;] My friend has a 2002 EX coupe and I have a 2002 LX Coupe. We actually raced once just to test eachother, and I was about a car length ahead of her. I actually expected her to win but I was surprised that I won.
But..why would anybody risk racing their new cars? That's just stupid. If you're not satisfied with the LX or EX..then you need to get another car totally. These aren't racing cars for jesus sakes..I don't see how it "couldn't be enough power for you". I think they're fast enough..unless of course your TRYING to race somebody. They're not one of the top stolen cars for nothing..get over the speed issues..appreciate your car since you bought it, gee.
