My GSX-R 1000 will smoke both your cars. But really... Who cares? Nobody.

1. The Z weighs twice as much as a civic (almost)
2. The Z is a autocross car, not a drag car.
3. The Z does not look like a turd on wheels. (turd, read Civic)

Pat yourself on the back, because nobody else is going to.

Edit: Did you leave your vacume under the hood? Or just the vacume hose? lol. Nice color scheme. Damn man, you win. lol

the last morons who posted here are just that, absolute morons. My civic will pull on your Z's, so don't cry about it. Like i said, i also have a Z, and it's a cow, the civic's powerr is sooo much better to drive in. All Z's need forced induction to feel like they're moving. Don't try and lie about the Z's power, it's just not there. THEY ALL NEED FORCED INDUCTION. Like i said, while im running with bikes in my civic, it's fun, the Z can't hang with alot of cars, it's sad, but true. I know you guys are getting your panties all in a wad, but chill, I was joking about "pulling on your Z's". FUNNY , It's true though............

If i took you for a ride in my civic, you'd prolly go and sell your Z.

TRUE TRUE, but is your STANG even running ?

if so, lemme see a video of it.(and not one you pull off the net)

also, lemme see your Z videos if you guys have any. Nobody has any good Z videos out. I want to see some boosted Z videos.

Don't get me wrong, the Z is a great car. It has wonderful styling, handling, looks, etc......... but the power is just lacking a bit. When i bought the car it was ok, but now im used to the power, or, ummm, lack of power. I'm definitely gonna slap some kind of forced induction on it.

Christobal,

Since you are from the hood, then i am gonna assume that you are from some where down here in so-cal. That being said, my car should be done in about 1.5 weeks. When you are ready, pm me and we will put your car to the test. I ACCEPT THE CHALLANGE. Be sure to bring your video and post what ever results u want on this here thread.

1. Running 12s on drag radials is NOT impressive in anything short of a Radio Flyer wagon.
2. An LT1 Camaro (or 5.0 Mustang) on the hose and street tires will eat your civic alive, for about 25% of the price.
3. A stock Miata with my girlfriend at the wheel (read: driver with no formal training) would absolutely waste your Civic on a road course.

Not to mention that street racing is for morons, but that's another story.

Did I miss something? Last time I checked stock civic's are an even worse cow than a stock Z. Show me a stock civic that can hang with a stock Z please.

ALL CIVICS NEED FORCED INDUCTION.

This thread is pointless, as are you. Geeee..I wish I had a FWD econobox! I'm so damn jealous!!!

I would rather roll to work in a hamster wheel than drive a civic there. Not just because it's a crap car, just because everyone who drives them is about as bright as this troll. I wouldn't want to be a member of that club...

Dang, Ray...I was hoping there would be some video.



When your car is done, let me know. I'd drive up North to see it.

My 97 Eclipse GST can eat your civic, and looks better than a civic. Too bad I sold it. Sigh. otherwise we can have a race.

However, straight line doesn't defined a car is fast or not. Overall performance is what's important. Drag does not equal to fast. Just like driving around circle (like Nascar) is not a real race.

HAHAHAHA!!!!

Also Civics don't always require FI to be fast. Quite a few Civics are moderatly fast NA. Either way comparing a stock car to a modded car is pretty stupid. And I would love to see any Civic thats remotly reliable in the 12s. Reliability is inversly related to power (same goes to MPG).

Either way RWD>FWD

you guys are amazing. Z's are slow. Admit it !!! I own one. I know how slow it is . I drive it everyday. Like i said, the car is cool, but it's not the best thing since sliced bread. My civic is my "clown car". I make people look like clowns when i beat them. You guys need to respect the "CIVIC" because it owns the Z, badly. I still havn't seen any video's of your Z's. Lemme see some, and don't get your panties all in a wad.

I bet i never get to see any video's of your cars, plain and simple.

My civic is basically a NINJA with a shell.

90% of you guys will never Force feed your Z, so you'll never know the feeling I'm talking about, the feeling of G forces pushing you back in your seat as you blip the throttle. I was planning on force feeding my Z, but now that i see the motor is weak, i just might not do it.

BTW, my civic has a stock block and still pulls down low 12's !!!

^To play Devil's advocate, the Z's linear powerband makes it feel a bit slower than it is. For example a stock Celica GTS pushes far more G's than the Z, since it doesn't make any real power till 6k+ (for only about 2k rpm). The GTS pulls hard as hell when its in lift, while the Z pulls throughout the whole power band. Also the Z is slower than the 300zxTT (in linear acceleration).

Either way my 3 cylinder Geo with grounding wires, and polished cam cover will destroy everyone...in reverse.
