Thread: 97 GTP Vs 07 Civic SI

Yea and I'm guessing you were stock which makes a bit more sense. Nevermind just reread the ”stock for stock” part lol.

i raced a guy from a 25/30 ish roll IIRC, and got a good cars length and a half on him. Was an 07ish SI too, i thought you wouldve had him on all 4, especially from a dig if you could get an easy hook up.

I took a Civic on my lawn tractor.

I took an 05ish si with my V8 sho with no problem. My grand prix shouldn't have any problem at all.

Point is that VTEC thing helps them at higher speeds

Same. I ran a guy in a newer civic si a month or so ago. Put about 2 car lengths on him from a dig and a car and a half on both a 50 and 60 roll... Really wasn't trying to race him anymore but he wouldn't let me pass him either.

I kept up with an 07 (I think) from a dig till about 40... Mind you I'm NA, H-body, and 3.05 geared..

I was a bit disappointed myself about the results , I know I would take him easily at a track from a dig but still don't understand the whole "roll" deal. I know my car is running hot at the moment , As soon as I got home my temp gauge was almost by the red part. Im thinking my head gaskets may need replaced since I just replaced the lim gaskets not long ago and also the stat. Im just gonna drive "safe" till I pull the motor for the XP cam install and Gen V and im just gonna redo the whole gaskets.

Like I said somethings wrong lol. A healthy 3.4 setup Gtp would eat a stock civic si.

02-05 Si's are huge turds without mods, they only have k20a3's and have a different kind of vtec. I love the body style though. They only came in hatches.
