Which are faster stock? And I mean evenly matched: 6th Gen Dx vs. 7th Gen Dx, 6th Gen Ex vs. 7th Gen Ex, and 6th Gen Si vs. 7th Gen Si, etc. Also, which engines respond better to mods??

I was told the 7th gen DX and EX were faster, but I have no way of knowing. Plus is it really close between the two

based on what i know, the 6th gen civics came with a 1.6L engine. with the 7th gen increased displacement to 1.7L, we get more torque at a lower rpm, but with same horsepower ratings. so it is REALLY close. but i think the 7th gen weighs like 50 pounds more than the 6th gen, but i also think the 7th gen is more aerodynamic...

with a New DX and LX 7thgen has little bit more HP and Torque. it is not the same. but the 6thgen get more power with i-h-e. the 7thgen dont b/c of this i think returnless fuel or somethign like that. or car suck for i h e. i think that it

lol its so close that its almost impossible to tell . DRIVERS RACE and either way your running a slightly lower 15sec big deal.

put it this way. my best friend has a d16 in his civic with a whole hell of alotta bolt ons and he can't catch me. but he also has a automatic. i'm undefeated against d16's in my 2k1

Its a drivers race. The 6th gen gets a little more power out of mods, but the 7th gen is more aerodynamic and can create more torque in the lower rpms.

I would rather have higher torque numbers than horsepower. Why does the 6th gen get more power out of mods?

They came "untuned" from the factory..

Its just the way the 6th gen engine was setup. Honda didnt mean to do it, it just happened that way.

Well because those D16 blocks where built very closely to the B-series in some cases u can use the exact same bolt ons... On top of that they dont have plastic on thier motor like us *cough* intake manifold

I don't know.. I mean I haven't raced a stock 6th Gen EX, but I have a feeling my 02 EX would rape it... Anyone ever raced one, stock for stock?

haha yup honda thought the civics had to much power they had to de-tune them

That sucks, but I wish they would have done that to ours!

well........auto vs auto.......

7th gen pulls away slowly but surely .....my bros ex had 6gen and used to race all the time.

for some reason, the 6 gen feels faster due to shorter gearing but when u race....the 7th gen wins .

I beat a 6th gen EX with intake and exhaust in my 01 LX with intake and exhaust by about a car and a half
