Idunno, I believe that it's all about the driver, unless there's a really big difference in the cars. If the race was between two well trained racers then the performance of the cars can trully be tested against each other. I also think that a standard car has a good fighting chance against a slighty faster autmatic car.

Rep Power: 0 Ok check this out my roomate owns a tc 5speed! Now I have driven it many times. Now yes it is way more torque then are civic but it weightl like 2900 pounds with driver My vic weigh 2570 with me in the car! The few times we raced i didt really pull on him att all but when he did get ahead it was never more than one car lenth! And when we raced and i got ahead i didt really pull on him at all! Also his rev limter hits at like 6500 rmps where mine is like 7000 or so.
Anyweighs stock its supposed to run hi 15 and when iam runnin low 16's i can see how its possible to beat one. Plus i know i can drive better than him!
latz-
edit he is stock and I have the basic I H E high flow cat!

anyways, tC will own period (stock vs. stock). It's got more HP and a hell of alot more torque. For the tC to loose, he'd half to scalp his eyes out prior to the race and have oprah winfrey eating a big mac in the pasenger seat.

2598lbs + 200lbs = 2798lbs; Thats pushing more like tC territory now.
But you say with you in the car it weighs 2575lbs, so where is the weight reduction of 223lbs? Back seat or pasanger seat? AC? Spare tire? cf hood or trunk? CF steering wheel or e-brake, no dash or speedo guages... lol? Dude, your car is stock cept for I/H/E and that gets you what? 5-7hp total? Yes only that much because your engine isnt mad for huge hp gains, its made for gas (getting from point A to point B). Put those same mods on a sI or type-S and they'll see gain over 10hp+ easily. There no-way possible you ex with you weights 2575lbs, that means the EX would have to come in stock lbs about 2375lbs, haha... what do you think you car is a lotus?

Rep Power: 0 I saw a new TC out at the local scene last night. I wanted to run him but the cops were out in full force. i'll see if I can set something up next weekend. It's a stock 5spd with 17" Arospeed rims. I'm just curious to see how fast/slow they really are. they have torque but they are heavy as hell. Sport compact tested one with an intake and exhaust and it ran a 15.7. So a stock one is beatable and even a lightly modified one depending on drivers.

Rep Power: 0 If he gutted 75% and runs a 1/2 tank of gas like me then it's possible. That's good for 200lbs reduction. I have yet to weigh my car with me in it but I estimate somewhere around 2400lbs.
