st vs civic Options

[Sammyr]

For what it is worth I managed to beat a Integra in a motorway drag in my Celica (3sfe with exhaust and filter) he did have a couple more people on board (3 vs my 1) but damn the integras just dont look as cool.

[Griff]

my stick ST ran vs a auto vtec civic...i won, off line, and when we rolled...i won in turns, i won in the 45mph roll...
it was an auto tho.

i dont want to be slow anymore, our cars are fun...honestly with a stick u have a enough speed at hand to do some cool stuff...but my baby is gunna ger a bigger engine soon...civics wont be a thing then.

i just dont like those darn things cause everyone has one...and they ghetto.
a 96 civic looks like a 96, every one ask's me if my 96 is new...

what's worse is when people mistakenly call our cars an integra!

anyway, I was on the freeway today, everybody was driving real slow (like 60) in all lanes and I was getting pissed, so I finally was able to get ahead of everyone so I just pushed that pedal down, a couple seconds later I'm going about 90 when this red integra is coming up on me fast, he changes lanes and zooms past me at at least 110... so there is power to be had in a civic/integra, but stock for stock I think a celica would beat a civic (ST beating a DX, and GT beating an EX or SI) however, as this integra passed me, I caught a glimpse of his altezza taillights and I couldn't help but chuckle.

now here's one for you, who'd win, a GT celica w/ injen intake (manual) or a bone stock mitsubishi lancer ES (auto). my thoughts are Celica=135 hp in 2400 lbs. and lancer=120 hp in 2600 lbs. but what do you think? this guy I work with just got a lancer and thinks he can beat me...

Power to weight the celica hould waltz over the lancer. On another slightly unrelated note I had to laugh a while a go someone in a Mazda Astina (not sure if you have them in the US but they are a 1600cc) tried to have a go against my cousin (with myself) in his 500hp+ nissan GTR, that was funny!

hmm... depends on the year, the 92-95 civic SI (which is what I was going off of) only has 125 hp. I just looked up the stats on the later SI's and it turns out the 99+ has 160 hp, so maybe the celica couldn't take those years. but I'd take my sister's 2002 civic EX sedan any day

I've driven both my dad's 94 civic DX and my mom's 2004 accord EX (4 cyl. not V6) and they both feel so much slower than my celica.

and yes, you read that right, everyone in my family (of a driving age) drives a honda, except me, I'm the rebel who bought a toyota.

good for you. made the smart move.

Who will Win??????????

I just moved to Tahoe CA (6000 ft elevation sucks 4 speed). The chick I’m roommates with is dating some dude with a 96 (i thnk) 1.6 civic. He just finished putting in his new header, CAI, and a Cat back. My 95 Celica ST has a CAI, , exhaust and a new clutch......

Any guesses?

PS i will post the results regardless when it all goes down.

if his is dx or lx, you've got him, if it's hx you probably still have him, if it's ex you have a slim chance, and if it's si then NOPE! of course, if it's a 96 then it's not an si, they didn't start making the si for that generation until 99 I believe.

the geo, when stock with 2 fat chicks in it in addition to me, pulled on a mid 90's 4 door white civic with EASE from a 20mph roll. i had just finished a right turn, and i saw the asshole that had been tailgating me coming up in my mirror. so i pegged the gas. he caught up even and then fell behind by 1/2 a length. by that time i was doing 5 over the speed limit so i let off, he kept going a car length then turned left.


similar thing happened to an OLD camry that had been tailgating me then tried to cut infront of me on the shoulder approaching an overpass.

[Griff]

...wait...what were you doing in a geo...with 2 fat chicks?

0-60 st maybe top end all out speed the civic will have you , my wife has a 93 civic 1.5l dx 2door i have a 94 st 1.8l both automatics from a stop i jumped out ahead of her 0-60 after that her car slowly came up and pasted me i could not pass the 107 mph mark the celica just did not have any more the civic just keep going ,she said it stopped aroung 124mph now the mods on the civic at the time was a cai,header,2.5 exhaust with high flow cat and muffler a larger throttle bodie ,a sport compact igntion system and full interior, the celica at the time was a cia ,header ,3 in exhaust from the header back with high flow cat a fmu with 10.5mm spark plug wires a high out put ignition and all the interior was out but the two front seats, this was all before my turbo was put in the celica now its a different story -HAA_HAAAA

[SpoonR530]

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.....

If it's manual & the guy can drive, I'm positive your ST will be eaten.

giving the civic a chance

nah, this was a couple years ago and i used to be friends with them.

[pandakid]

my friend has a 99 civic EX auto AEM intake,2.5 cat back, wires, ,low profile tires. its doesn't move. i've never droven ST before. but my friend in the 99 civic has never one a race. im not saying every civic EX 99 is slow but HIS doesn't move.

[bloodrain]

Umm, celica st should be able to beat a civic 4 door dx at least because of weight. But still, like this quote, "racing a civic is like racing in the special olympics. even though you win, you're still retarded." It should be more like "racing a civic is like racing in the special olympics. even though you win, you're still a loser." Its useless at the end.

*sigh* once and for all:

"Racing a civic is like competing in the special olympics, even if you win, your still retarded"

now that thats done, I dont see why people hate civics, there obviously not meant to be fast stock, niether is the celica. I you want a fast car, buy a fast car. If you want a faster car for a little bit of money, buy a civic.

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.

I prefer my Celica.

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.
