I killed a sentra 2.0 over the weekend u might be able to but dont get mad if he kills ya. It should be pretty close though.

could be a close 1.... if he's talking about beating auto EX's of old, yeah, thats not a problem, I had a LX and beat an auto 2000 EX.

I have a stick 04 Civic EX and raced a 2003 auto Cavi.

I had him down low, but he pulled back up top. However, I realized I was shifting to low and probably had to much weight in the car. I was stock, and so was he.

Yeah...my sister has an 03 auto cavi...wont touch my 5 spd
With your mods it'd be close, but I think you'll take him
Good luck!

it's either a 115hp motor or 140hp motor for 2002's. you have a slight weight advantage, but no one is going to really be able to tell you for sure. i've driven an 02 cavalier and it is anything but fast. and neither is an auto civic

oh im not sure....the other night me and him raced a scion XB and it was stck and we killed it...in the cavi...LOL thats when he was smashin on my ride lol

I think the XB's max out at like 80 or 90mph. I raced one with my 04 auto ex stock and he was able to keep up with me until about 80 then i just pulled away. We started from a 60mph roll though.

Just put your car into d2 and race your bro and tell us the results. 127hp on the ex vs 130 its very close.

I think you would win though, japanese auto trannies tend to shift better then the domestics. THen again you hit 110mph just in third gear lol. Damn the gears for the autos are so tall.

well if we start from a stop d2 would not help me right?? since its always in 2nd gear

you can hit 60mph in d2 alone. The car tends to wanna shift up gears as much as possible to keep good fuel economy. Then again it probably won't that big of difference.
