I did a bit of research and I believe it is a 95 EX with 1.6 liter, 125hp engine stock, to my 1.8 110 stock.... this isnt sounding too g00d but we'll see........maybe ill just get this car.....

I own a 94 Celica GT and a 95 Honda Civic Ex.
The Celica has DOHC 2.2 liter engine with 5 speed transmission
The Civic has SOCH 1.6 liter vtec engine with a 5 speed transmission.
My 94 Celica GT has better power from idle to 4000 RPM.
The 95 Honda EX has better power from 4000 to 7200 RPM.

I could drive either one and have an advantage if I could manage a few variables.

1. If I was in the 94 Celica GT. I would only race extremely short distances like only one or maybe two upshifts and shift before 4600 rpm. Anything above 4600 rpm in my GT the power curve falls off and any advantage I might have is probably lost.

2. If I was in the 95 Honda Civic Ex. I would only race where I could use rpm above 4000 through 7200 for at least two or three two upshifts. The longer the race the better I'll do. The more time I can be using high rpm the advantage is mine.

3. I don’t know about your particular Celica.

• If your particular Celica has more power than mine than you may hold the Civic off for a few short time until he gets to take advantage of the power available in the higher rpm range.

• If you have less power than my Celica I would say that you going watch him pull right past you. This is assuming equal driving skill, equal street tires, equal transmission type, and both engines being close to stock configuration.


I like the vid. This one’s kinda similar.

dude. he had a terrible start too, he sat there for almost a second after the green light lit up. I think he might've been able to pull off 8.0 or even 7.9 if he had a better launch

EDIT: wait, does he have to wait until that light way down the track lights up before he can go? (at about 37 seconds into the clip) sorry, I don't know much about drag racing.
