lots of my frieds have civics, but they can't hang with my max!! i don't really know how bad i beat them, but at the track, i usually run in the mid to high 9's, and they are in mid to low 10's. (and that's the fast ones! i have a friend with a 96 civic ex that runs consistent low 11's!!) i guess that prob comes out to about 2-3 lengths.
...i did have a friend with an '88 civic dx. i hooked up a bottle for him, and forgot to put the jet in so he was spraying like 125 horses... i don't think i coulda beat him. but then again, his car only ran for about 10 mins!!!! lmfao

My sister in law has a stock 99 Civic Si, and thinks it pretty hot. I was trying to talk her into getting a Greddy turbo kit for it when she became sorta defensive, talking about how her car was faster than my "grandma car". After some convincing she let her boyfriend race me and you can guess the results...she thinks if she removes her speaker box she would win...Hmmmmmm...wonder if we should bet a pizza??

ok well i dont wanna sound like a dik or really cocky, but do u really have to ask questions like that. seriously if ur friend knows about cars he wont dare talk sht bout ur max. second why would u ever race a civic ull always win. i havent lost to a civic yet. by the way u should ahve gotten 5 speed and im guessing ull beat him by 8 9 car lengthes. i beat my friend whos got a gsr with greddy catback and aem cold air and his is 5 speed and soo is mine and i beat him by like 5 6 car lengths. thats my 2 cents

I've raced a heavily modified N/A 6th Gen Civic - With sexy results. It was at least 5 cars. I've also raced my friend's 99 Si - I only took him by about 2 carlengths w/o using my nitrous. Those Si's - those things are sexy. Incredibly fun to drive, nice looking, with a lot of performance potential locked away under their hoods.
If you raced a stock Non-Si Civic and didn't annihilate him, something's wrong with your car.
And WTF is the deal wit ppl talkin ish bout Maxima's? I really hate that.

Why do so many MAXIMA.ORG members pick on little Civics? I know, every city has them, the guy in a souped up civic, thinking he can lay the smack down. But come on, you've heard this before, beat a similar type car and motor if you want to feel good about racing somebody. It's like racing against a Grand Prix GTP AUTO and you lose badly, just listen to the excuses from Maxima drivers. Has anybody heard any info regarding the new Accord? Supposedly it is going to handle great and be a killer of MOST fwd cars.

Now, going against BMW's is much more fun, and fair, but sometimes you just have to against the riceboys.

Well i dont know where you all live, but in my town, some civics are good opponents at the light, but then again, engine swaps in my town are becoming more and more common, and its harder to hang with those lil tiny civics, most of them are sleeper style too. The normal civics wihtout engine swaps are easy to take out, sometimes not even worth it. i am just saying dont underestimate the civics, a simple civic wiht a b16 swap will run a high 14 wiht the motor alone, and i believe that is faster the most automagic maxes, anyways if you hear a civic that sounds like a lawnmower, watchout...

I actually don't mind a nicely modded one. I wouldn't mind a nice black 99 EX for a daily driver. They aren't ugly or anything.

Depends, theres alot more fast civics out on the road these days. We need to get off our loft thinking we're the 6 cylinder bomb. Quite a few at my drag strip run in the consistent mid 13s with engine swaps and complete interiors which would beat any NA maxima here . This one hillbilly guy who looks like he belongs in a 65 chevelle was driving a mid 80's CRX on slicks. It was N/A with no boost cause I looked under the hood and he made it into the 12s! Theres one civic i lost to at Maxus 2001 which ran 10's and later made it into the 9s! I couldnt even catch that thing on my 2 wheeled honda. The problem with our cars is we try to drive it like a performance car, yet to make it fast it takes so much time and money.

. There is a Civic at my local speed shop that is in the 11s. If I were to race it I would be so ashamed of my car you wouldn't know. Watch out, there are A LOT MORE engine swapped and boosted Civics than you'd like to know. We may have V6s but they are NOTHING compared to some of today's I-4s.-Cyrus

no offense intended, man. just saying the mitsu's have a tendency to have drivetrain prob's. you're on the dsm forum aren't you? isn't there a section that covers frequent tranny problems? i think it says something about "why do alot of people say these cars have weak drivetrains?" it's been about a year since i've been on the dsm boards, so it might not be there.
i have no quams with the dsm's. i was thinkin' about getting a '97-'99 eclipse gst when i had my trans am. i think they are BEAUTIFUL cars that can look totally amazing with a few mods.
i was just pickin' at cha!!
