how will my 00 v6 do against ricers

V6Mustang04 · Oct 12, 2004

heres the thing, everytime im out driving, i always come up to a light and usually its a civic, integra, and sometimes but not often its a prelude, its orange county what do you expect, and theres also my best friends brother with a saturn coupe that revs it to the line everytime he passes by me in the high school parking lot (even tho i beat him by idk how many car lengths. theses guys always look at me like "OMG, if we raced Id smoke ur ass!", heres my question....WILL THEY?!?!?! i know my car isnt a big boss 5.0 or a big bad 4.6 (which are nice i just dont wanna pay the insurance, im only 18) but do these guys really have an edge on me. even with mods like i/e/ and headers, how can they get that much power out of them?

do i dare start toying with these guys or what.

you do in most cases, unless they have done a motor swap or have a turbo

Ghostalker · Oct 12, 2004

ooh, a motor swap? to, let me guess, the b16a2!? omgosh vtec, lol
some of them NEED an engine swap because honda engines dont tend to last for a long time, like most for engines... as long as they are well maintained they should go on forever, lol =D

97WhiteStang · Oct 12, 2004

no actually a h22. a friend of mines got one with full exhaust and someother stuff and runs over GT's. dont get me wrong a civic is still a civic but a small small percentage of them have some power. And lets be honest we drive v6's they arnt the most powerfull things either.

Ghostalker · Oct 12, 2004

i was just stating a motor commonly swapped in, i didnt think you had a particular ricer in mind, lol

97WhiteStang · Oct 12, 2004

its all good, sorry if i came off as a dick. and his looks just like a stock civic with tint(minus the coffee can ewwwww but he knows its wack and honest about it)

Do you mean ricers as in import cars or ricers as in people who do stupid crap to import cars? Clarify and I'll tell you your chances.

Ghostalker · Oct 13, 2004

Imports = Japanese Cars (i dotn even use that term extensively for euro cars...)
Import Tuners = Smart Japanese Car Owners who make it go
Ricers = With da 3 foot wing and da unpainted kit (see "Honest To God Definition of Ricer" thread)
^IMO

Why don't you go to the track and find out?

98_stang_guy · Oct 13, 2004

as far as imports go...i have respect for the ones that are actually fast, but the ones that have wheels and a big aluminum spoiler and are slower than my car...thats a different story. i do like the srt-4 tho, those things are insanely fast, i saw one at the track once

Ghostalker · Oct 13, 2004

how about the WRX STi... those are cool, lol, even with the flashy gold rims(optional) and big box spoiler, it still looks good =D

Give 'em hell man. At the track of course. Why rev a Saturn anyways? You'll take a large majority of them.

232_slowness · Oct 27, 2004

i'm not sure a stock 6 can, but i know i've beaten a majority of them out here in Montgomery County. Most are just looks and no performance. The last ricer i beat up was a RSX-S... most say they're fast, but they lack so much torque so it takes them 5 years to get up to speed.

Unless the driver is actually good. My friend took his stock RSX-S to a 14.8 1/4 mile.

Very few civics ect I have ever seen were done up right. I think you could take them. I know you could take them if you had a few mods, CAI, exhaust, ect.

JDMsTangR · Nov 4, 2004

Thefts for si's, integras, and rsxs are higher than ever. And you will be suprised how many civics have motor swaps in them now. I sold my stang because my exhaust just attracted too much attention and got into all sorts of trouble. Now i have a 97 civic coupe w/a gsr swap with bolt ons but with no exhaust.

I have come to the dark side now integraholic. And i have to say that i really do enjoy it. Just the lay out of the car and the feel of it does feel more like a sports car than my six. My car has no power steering just like you, but it isnt too bad.

Ghostalker · Nov 4, 2004

I have a friend who is in the "import tuner" type thing... He owns a 1994 Honda Civic Hatchback... some engine mods, havent seen it in a while, as it has a few mechanical problems (doesnt run) and he is putting them on hold till spring, until then he gets to drive his parents truck, and, on accasion, Honda S2000...

srt-4s aren't imports though

Ghostalker · Nov 5, 2004
