my friend jus told me he raced a black maxima on his way home to houston from dallas. he said he got ahead of the maxima like 2 car lengths.....i don't wanna believe him though. i made a bet with him that noone is gonna believe him =)

is it most likely that he's telling the truth?

 

there are plenty of civics out there faster then a Maxima. Stock, no.

 

unless he had some crap done to his car while he was there, he's pretty much stock....grrr so i just lost the bet??? *dammit*

 

Unless he had A LOT done to his car!

 

he would've had to have a lot o stuff in that car man....

 

If its a Civic Si it can take out the VG Max stock to stock.

 

my frined's SI is stock and runs 15.7....thats good enough to take out stock VGs, and auto VEs and VQs. but as for the EXs, DXs and LXs(and dare I mention the HX and CX ), the Max wins hands down!

 

You know the first Civic was made in late 70s. You going have to be more specific on what model and year of the civic. There are old beater civics that run 18s and there are civics like Stephan Papadakis that run 8s.

 

Uh, stock auto VQs can run 15.5 in the 1/4. Its pretty even.

 

For auto 95/96, 15.5 is possible. But for auto 97-99, 15.5 stock is pretty hard to pull off. Most stock auto 97+ run 15.8 - 16.2.

 

he has a 94 hatch.....he just told me this right now that he swapped a stock LS engine into his hatch. I told it doesn't count cuz he said he was stock!!!!!!!!!!! i am never gonna make any bet ever again. he laughed at my face and said "that's the beauty of civics....you never know whether it's gonna run 16's or 14's " GRRR =( oh wellz..........thanks for the input.

 

a stock LS engine in a hatch is only good for mid 15s. You should able to take him if you have a 5-speed. It will be a close race if you are auto.

 

hmm...i think he had a time slip showing 15-15.2 time runs. he's a REALLY good driver. thanks for your opinions guys!!!! i just hope he doesn't get any crap done before MY car gets done (i wanna get my twanky back) =)

 

Ummm, I guess you haven't heard of the Civic Type-R. Good car, 2000lb, 1.6 L DOHC 8200rpm 180hp. Faster than Sentra Vspec/.

 

I guess you haven't heard that those were never available in America.

 

find me a STOCK auto 4th gen running that and i'll give you a cookie.

 

Good comeback.. Yep, the Civic Type R's were never sold in the states so all those Civic's you see with the Type R badges are a buncha posers.. Either way, I would take a Max over a Civic wether it's a Type R or SI..

 

i thought the civic type r has 185 hp? anyways

the stock auto 97-99 vq has a timeslip of 16.7 plus?

er, thats not good, my auto vg runs 16.4 with just intake and aftermarket muffler

what you just read was pretty much useless and pointless, i just felt like being a post *****

 

As for the Civic Type R, they can be imported, though thats very rare. I saw one last saturday (a real one, straight off the boat from Japan) at Hot Import Nights in Chicago. The engine, can be bought, or imitated by using various parts on a B16A (still not a true B16B though).

About the LS swap, I know a guy who ran 15.0 with intake header and exhaust on 15" street tires in a 93 hatchback with B18B (Integra LS swap).

 

civic's can actually run well below 10's in the 1/4mile if there's enough done to them.... Civic's are just light and have this one size fits all thing about them... most guys who do mods to them would prefer it if they could just take the steel frame off of the assembly line because it would save them the time of taking everything out of it.....

as for a 'stock' civic beating a maxima, no.... it's an economy car and although the 4cylinders that you can hear a block away might sound like they're doing a lot, they are slow stock; fun to beat on, but slow none the less

Civic beat a Maxima ? hahahahahahahahaha......hahahahahahahahaahahaa.... sssssssssss....not in america. I personally find it funny when a civic pulls up next to me with all this racing S**t on it. LoL...bless their little hearts.

 

well a civic stock... laugh allll you want... cept the Si for y'all autos... but well now theres ALOT of civics out there with engine swaps running really fast times...
my policy is dont laugh at any cars except auto civics haha... and well alot of other cars... but yea civics are very capable... but i just dont understand why someone would wana put that much effort in em... its still a civic...

 

But then again, you realize that if you put enough moeny into anything...it'll be fast. I've seen a 80's chrysler minivan run 1/4 in 12.7, the guy put two monster turbos on it. you can do anythign with enough work and money, there's a civic running 8's isn't there? But with enough money we could do the same with the max...

Luckily, i live in severe suburbia, so i can laugh at almost everybody cuz they're ALL slow!

 

yea. yea...but like you said a civic is still a civic !! I wouldnt feel safe in that thing! Tin cans arent safe !! Well, i think that's enough bashing on tha civics. I'll let em go.

 

there was a civic at HIN that runs 10.3 lol just thought id add it to this post
