7th Gen VIC [VS] 6th Gen VIC

Not that i like to race or anything i mean I have my car more like a luxury car then a racing car, but i was wondering this. Can my car a 01 sedan EX auto beat a 96 Ex coupe manual (not V-tech)?? its my bros car he has bagz on it with 17'z, and i have mine lowered with 18'z...

Also i was wondering do all 7th gen. civicz have a v-tech, i mean i remember when i had my GS-T Eclipse...every teen wanted a civic with a V-Tech and there ain't many around with V-techs...yet every 01+ model i see has a v-tech??

Thankz, peace

you both have VTEC, just different types. and you'll most likely get beat if your brother can drive well.

Arith has a little shameless behaviour in the past
Exclamation

You will lose.

You have an auto with 18's, he has a stick with 17's, unless he puts it in reverse, you will lose.

Well....I raced with my cousin one time....He drives 96 EX auto, I drive a 03 EX manual....smoked him after 4k on 1st....The new D17 VTEC has a better midrange than D16, while D16 is tuned for top end....

That's what I think with 99/00 Si, DOHC system has very poor performance at low-mid rpms, but excellent top end....One drives a EX won't get smoked until the Si's VTEC kicks in....SOHC system does have excellent low-mid performance....

v-tech.... hah

i thought all ex model civics were sohc vtec? =|

your bro has advantage because 1) hes manual and you have an slush box auto, 2) your on 18's while hes on 17', an 3) what happened to your eclipse gs-t? those cars were worth maintaining.

if u guys go at it, goodluck and make sure to do it on a safe private road!

nice eclipse (exclude the decals).

if you cant find a motor for it, you can rebuild but dont know how much that goes up to.
i would check the for-sale section if you want some used parts for a good price. but to give u heads up, a lot of ppl been gyped on this website.

lol 20s.

Could you please stop ending your words with a "z" instead of "s". I mean, how much harder is it to end the word with the letter "s?"
