Thread: Can i beat a SI?

yea i think it makes the gtp look even worse. 2.0 NA four banger vs 3.8 SUPERCHARGED V6. the honda has 100+ less TQ. has worse power to weight ration. the OP said he quickly put a car and a half on him. the honda stoped his pull and by 70 was on his bumper. 70 mph is not even an 1/8 mile for my car stock (74 on a 14.7 pass) with still half a track left and the honda pulling back, by 90-95 they problew would have been even. should be a 1/4 mile then. they both had pretty much the same mods. EXCEPT ONE WAS A 4 CYLENDER AND THE OTHER WAS A SUPERCHARGED V6. and it pretty much just as fast as the gtp in the 1/4. yes the gtp will take off faster but its not about who takes off faster its about who gets to the finsh line first. so for all of those calling the SI slow, you are pretty much calling the gtp slow. am i the only one that is seeing this?? or are yall just feeling down and hating on HONDA??

So your saying that your grand prix is more fun to drive than a civic si?
Also you are saying that a si is more of an "old lady" car than your Pontiac?

I understand the point of respect a car for what it is...I just don't see em except on tv, or at car shows and those are just trailer queens. Everywhere I've lived it's a million honda's and nothing to brag about. They just think cuz one guy made it happen with 20,000 bucks on a movie, that it's really easy for them on their 7.50 an hour pay check to do the same. And then I just smoke em with my 6,500 lb truck on 33" tires...HAHA

First I am going to call you out and say that your "bad ass" f-150 would be no where near a stock civic si . Yes Honda's have gotten a bad rep. but that is not Honda's fault it is the idiot people that mod them un-tastefully. Honda's are one of the most fun cars I have driven on the track. And no not the drag strip.. What fun is it to push the gas and see who has the most money to put under the hood. Take your grand prix out on a real race track against any generation civic si and beat it with a video to post on here afterwards then you have something to brag about. If you are feeling really ballsy we can get into the s2000...

thats cool, and well i was just saying the SI was right there with the grand prix, so everybody calling the SI slow, are you willing to call the GTP slow???? problew not so there just being hypocrites
