can a GT-S beat a civic type R in a sprint race? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #6039 16 posts Started by AE101
I used to be abel to keep up with my friend when he has his plain civic EX, but he's doing a type R swap (JDM) so he'll be skooting along nicely.. So I was just wondering how well the 5SFE can keep up with a B16B?? and no I'm not some idiot street racer, I'm a 22yo university student who wants to bug the **** out of his friend because he owns a torqueless car HAHAHAH! >biggrin.gif> >biggrin.gif> >biggrin.gif>

and BTW I have been drinkign tonight if there are any grammar errors.

thanks guys!

This place is great >biggrin.gif>
He'll eat you alive... You'll beat the EX tho...
you have no chance

unless he kills it at the start

oh wait he will probably catch up anyway.
Ya man people bash hondas but they are pretty mean. Maybe not off the line but they will come screamin by you with that topend power. Atleast with vtec engines, the stock b engines I dont think have much to brag about.
LOL, Yeah, thats what I thought. He's doing the swap so he'll be able to keep up with another friend of ours who just bought a 2002 WRX, but I still dunno if he'll be able to or not... >tongue.gif>

if u got da GT-S BEAMS engine then I think u can be on par...but o well.
Nope. But if you're turbo than that's a different story.
try to turbo your 5sfe or better yet do your own swap.. 3sgte anyone? done right and you'll smoke him.

First, a type R (JDM) is a B18C. Second, it'll eat you alive. 210 horses I believe plus great top end pull. This combined with it LSD pull kill a 5sfe. The beams 3sge is a different story. Black TopI'm almost cetain will beat the type R. Red Top will probably beat it, if not atleast run neck and neck.

I kill those EX's all the time...as well as RS and GS Eclipses...but I raced a guy with a Si and B16B swap...he totally whomped on me...I knew he'd beat me didn't think he'd kill me and wanna make me go dig a hole in the ground. That's with my Celi tho not RX7...

Definitely go 3SGTE if you wanna for sure beat them. It'd really depend on how each of you drive if he had the B16B and you had either the red or black top. It will depend on the launch and shifting ability as well as clutch/gas control....all the typical things that mater most when dragging.

Sorry, just blabbering.
