Me and my friend are looking to go to the track and line them up.

Me -> 97 Tibby

Friend -> 1.6 VTEC Honda Civic

And i was just wondering wat kind of times that the civic pulls?

And maybe the HP that it puts out? THanks

more info on both cars please.

I see that you are bone stock performance wise. This will be driver's race then.

Bone stock 5 speed civic will be in 17s, might be lucky and see high 16s.

Make sure that this is all done on the track!!! drillsergeant.gif

It's going to be pretty close... It's all down to your skills as a driver.

Be sure you have a very good launch, the torque on the tib will get you the lead off the line BUT once the VTEC kicks in on the higher RPM... zoom... so, make sure you have a good distance between you and the civic from the start, so it would be too late to catch up to the finish line

good luck smile.gif

Hmmm, this could be difficult. He has an advantage here, but he could mess something up and you could do everything perfectly and you would win.

Keep it at the track so that it stays under 90mph. IF it was on the streets, the race might get prolonged to a higher speed, giving him more of a chance to catch you. I still say you'll beat him either way, but just in case.......

the rd weight will kill you, dump the spair and the back seats and race on only a 1/2 tank or less.
