If you want to put it that way then Kwanza, what about an SS-II vs. the K20A3 Civic Si, see I could compare apples to apples but this is america, Toyota lucked out on the good stuff, but if I did a 3SGE swap and started busting all the little Si kids around here they would be crying because i'm not stock, well in most other parts of the world that is what came in my car, I didn't upgrade from a B16 to a B18, I went from a Camry motor back to what was meant to be in this car. So now that I gave myself the right to argue due to being stuck with a motor made for another car, unlike Honda kids who get a decent choice. See I only bench raced one car and that was the Prelude since i've never ran one (97+) and the only one i've driven was an '89 Si, the guy I ran with the '04 Si knew what he was doing he ran a lot, and it felt pretty good to have someone with a car that is suppose to be Oogled over by Honda nuts in the US swear that i'm not stock, and as I told him there is a little done, there was no B/S there is a little done to my car, like a few hundred in mods. It just tires me of all these Honda guys getting on here and claiming that a friggin RSX-S can beat a GT-Four, maybe an old beater Four if the front wheels fell off but that's about it.

Well in that case... you're just being biased. You're now saying it's not your fault, but the little "SI" kids? It doesn't matter what you have really... when I "spar" with a person, it's all about how they communicate their opinions. You're not willing to agree to the very obvious. If you feel the "SI kids" will cry if you do a swap... shame on them... however, when you start bragging, it makes you no better than them (only in reverse polarity).

Oh... and if you've never driven a GT4 or an RSX-S... who are you to say a RSX-S can't hang with a four? Not stock for stock at least... but I'll tell you it won't be a slaughter...

STs and GTs are SLOW...end of story. A 7GC GT is definately faster and lighter than a 6GC GT...not by much, but it don't matter if you win by an...muahaha...sorry! Anyway, I beat a I/E/ '94 GSR with my auto ST at 3 PSI with a broken piston, LOL. The funny thing was that I started at a dead stop and he took off revving high...I still catched up before a 16th of a mile! >tongue.gif> So without turbo or NAWZZZ, an ST and GT are SLOW!

I know i'm biased, I brag because my car has a few mods on it and can run with "tuner" cars and a lot of people on here want to know what it takes to make the underdog win, this car is by far fast, my Sierra would whale on this car in a race (it actually did when my brother had it) but it would smoke most stock 4 bangers in a straight line (ex. an Evo or STi). I'm comparing my orange to the rest of the apples because I have the sporty equivalent to a D16 powered Civic beating B16 powered Civics and have a short clip showing it can hold it's own even in fifth against some cars on a higher level (I do need to get a better clip though and a cameraman). You tried to flame me over a mistake in a Honda engine and then the rest was just complaining about me bragging, if I was in a Civic nobody would care, but it's a Celica, at least i'm starting to show i'm not B/Sing.
OK for all the little kids on here that don't know ship .... a Stock 6gc ST Auto Can not beat a Stock GT 7gc in a real race ... plan and simple ..

Hehe... talk is cheap buddy... if you want to think your Celica GT is fast... go for it. Maybe your definition of fast is my definition of medicore... but whatever floats your boat and keeps you happy. If you really want people to respect your opinion... talk less... show more. Throw down a timeslip... easy as that. Anyone here that have built their cars and raced elsewhere besides with the kiddies on the street... would know better than to just talk.

i got my a$$ handed to me from a 7th gen GTS and a 98+ prelude vtec and thats when i was turbocharged but i do have an automatic.

a manual GT vs a 7th gen Auto GT...that'd be interesting >smile.gif>

As for all these fancy Honda codes...damn, there's too many variances of hondas to where i can't follow it...
they should turn into America's Acura, althought im sure each engine in those has different codes because ones detuned, ones not...yadda yadda


Well like it has been said by Mac and others, an ST can not beat a new GT. BUT, i have raced a 7th gen GT with my GT, and i won. I did not just pass it and say its slow. We were at a dead stop and went at it, and i won. The specs for a new GT are 140 horse but only 125 ft lbs torque compared to a 6th gen GT's 135 horse and 145 foot lbs torque. So a 7th gen GT has 5 more horse but 20 less torque. I am not bragging, my car is not fast, but neither are 7th gen GT's. And the new celicas weigh about 100 lbs less our 6gc's. Thats is not enough to make a big difference considering the the weight of the two people driving could make a bigger difference (a 260 lb person in a 7th gen racing a 140 lb person in a 6gc, would give our 6gc 20 lbs LESS, this example is just to show that a 100 lb difference means almost nothing) I only say this because a couple people said a 6th gen GT could not beat a 7th GT. --------OBVIOUSLY this is based stock on stock.
Kwanza you should know from my other post when we butted heads about horsepower vs. torque, I know my car is slow but I consider an RSX-S and SRT-4 slow a 4.8 second 1/8th mile Chevelle is fast. Your telling a guy that came over from domestic muscle cars he doesn't know the definition of fast, that is like telling a Honda guy he doesn't know the definition of VTEC. I wasn't saying my car was fast I was saying it's as fast as a 7th gen GT-S, which is still slow but faster than a stock 6th gen your the one who got defensive when I compared it to an Si, I would compare it to a D16 Civic but i'm past that level, there are two modded (more than exhaust and intake) D16 Civics in my area and i'm friends with both drivers and yes they can beat a stock GT but the only way they can beat me is when I top out so I move up to Si's and when I mod some more i'll compare my car to even faster cars, just because I singled Honda out doesn't mean you have to go on the defensive it just means they are the most common import on the road and are easy to find someone willing to race.
TRD, while you are correct, i was referring to an auto GT vs manual 6gc GT because the Auto GT 7th gen supposedly is a LOT slower than the manual(almost 1sec 1/4mile)

Ok i got ya, so your saying in that scenario the 7GC would lose because of the slowness of an auto? The way you said it i thought you meant it would be a close race. I think either both 5 spd or both auto would be the best race. So would you agree with this.....???

I think it would go like this:
6GC-GT 7GC-GT
\ | /---------\ | /
\|/-----------\|/
AUTO vs AUTO=6GC
AUTO vs 5SPD=7GC
5SPD vs AUTO=6GC
5SPD vs 5SPD=6GC
