Can stock 7th gens beat previous gens of the same trim?
So like could an 02 ex beat a 99 ex? Or a 96 ex? etc.
Stock, of course.
Just wondering, cuz I heard the 02's engine is better than previous generations'.

And yes, the 7th gens are faster, but not by much.

Rep Power: 0 yea, they are......that point got across.........
What sucks is......everyone in my town thinks that they are slower than the previous gens......They don't really know what they're talking about, but even this dumb biatch that I only "saw" for 1 night was like "I heard that your car is really slow. And the new civic's suck now"........That was infront of like 20 people at this party....I was so pissed.....I told everyone it was wrong....nobody believed me.......[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 its not torque or anything like that, trust me i know i have a 96 ex and a 2k1 ex the the 7th gen has a better timming(vtec) then the older gens, same BHP and Torque, its not a drastic difference but there is a difference and to make it simple look at the gauges of a older gen and then look at the 7thgen 7thgen---max out reads 140 last digit 150
older gens max out reads 130 and my roommate has an 6 gen si and the the 7th gen keeps up better than the older gen so they are faster just because they are bigger doesnt make them slower!!!
