would i win?
i have an 01 ex coupe manual and i might race my friend who has a 96 integra ls automatic. i was wondering if you guys think i would have a chance, i think his puts out 140 hp? or something like that
well ive taken a base auto RSX with chip and intake from a 45mph roll. im also a auto with just SRI and greddy evo ii exhaust. say what you will but i did it 2 times at 45mph and after around 75-80 did he start inching. i think its due to my car downshifting to second and him being in 3rd gear.

i have a manual ls and i dont think there is any way you could beat him unless he is just a horrible driver. even in an auto he has less weight and more power. i recently swapped to a 97 cr-v b20b with ls intake mani and exhaust mani. the motor is rated @126hp and 142ftlbs but that is with the restrictive cr-v intake and exhuast mani. with the swapped mani's i should be at the same if not more hp than the stock ls with about 20+ more ftlbs. but ill tell you i would walk any 7thgen short of a k-swap

i think you guys are forgetting about gear ratios. it may have more power but the gearing in the autos werent engineered to go fast keep in mind, just to ride smooth. on the other hand manuals have a sportier 'feel' to it because they have more 'race bred' gear ratios. my 2 cents. i ran a stock ls manual when i was n/a and i won. but why am i even saying that because everyone calls bs on everything i kill. =/ lol
