stock r18 vs tc w/ catback

[elsnowblow]

tonight i raced an 06 tc with magnaflow catback exhaust. i have an 06 sedan stock. we raced in the rain. we tried at a stop but no traction. so we tried at a 15 mph roll twice. the first time i launched on him. at about 3rd gear he had me by 1/2 a car. sencond race. i lauched again and he beat me by 1/4 of a car. he wants to car from stop. but im pretty happy. i will let you know about the next race when the weather clears.

lol racing in the rain is not good..

[ahhhitsjames]

wow its that close? tC's have like 160hp too...

[Chase]

I race Scion guys all the time and leave them trailing in my wake without much effort, and I am stock....

[victor]

Well i raced a TC and it beat me by 2 - 3 cars. He had CAI and Cat Back. He will probably beat you more if it wasnt raining. They Got MAD torque.

[CmakSI]

I agree they have mad torque. SI's can take on TC anytime. Ive taken slightly Modded TC's with my Stock SI. But in your case, with a stock R18, its hard to say. I still need to see that happen. Be safe take it on the track!

[emopains]

Si will smoke it, but I've seen the stock lx race the stock tc 3x in the 1/4 and the tc got it by around half a second everytime. Watch out, and drive safe. You don't want me to tell you about all the bad stuff that has happened to me when street racing.

The only Si that is faster than a tC stock for stock is the new 07+. It depends on the driver, as the tC is capable of 15.1 1/4 mile stock. So, the slightest screw up on the 07+ Si drivers part, will hand the win to the tC.

What have you been smoking? The 2006 Si and the Supercharge tc will be a drivers race, but an Si 06+ will walk all over the regular TC all day long, i get you must drive a TC, and been on the Tc forums to much

Umm...all you have to do is go over to your drag racing section and look at the times. A slight mishap and the Si is running 15's. The tC is a low 15sec car in stock form. I have 3 friends with Civic Si's so, I think you should slow down a little and just look at facts and not opinions. The Si at best is a high 14sec car. But not everyone driving one runs high 14's, just like not every single person in a tC runs low 15's.

PS...I'm not flaming anyone, so chill dude.

Belive it or not, there is many people running mid to low 14's with the Si, you really can't go base on what have people run on the timeslips because there are many factors that can change the time of the car, from elevation to temperature.. so don't base your facts on that. the true is that the 06+ si and the supercharge tc will be a drivers race(some here say not even that lol) so what makes you think the regular tc can keep up, there are many videos of Si's walking all over the Tc, don't get me wroung the tc is a nice car but not as fast as the Si..

You can think what you want to think, is up to you..

Drag times are drag times. You can't throw them out the window for the sake of winning a debate....lol. Mid 14's Completely Stock? Cool if they can, I just haven't seen any. But that still does not change the fact that some drivers are running in the 15's. What makes me think the regular tC can keep up is based on two simple things really.

- That I have raced the Si from a dig on the street. Had an exhaust system as the only mod at the time. I led the whole race up till 80mph. Only 10 more mph and you are crossing the 1/4 mile line. By that time, my friend in the Si was only 1 car length ahead. From a roll (higher speed), the Si pulls like a rapped ape. But from a dig to the 1/4 mile mark it's a different story.

- The other reason is again timeslips at the drag strip. I ran 15.1-15.2 constant. Consistency is my thing, as I don't like the One hit wonder times.


I agree, the Si is faster Stock vs Stock. I'm just saying, it's not exactly blowing the doors off in a 1/4mile race at the track. A S/C'ed tC with nothing else on the car is good for high 14's.

[Civic Pride]

Like you say, a S/C tc is good for high 14's what makes you think a regular Tc is good for low 15's? what the point of the S/C not even half a second?

And this thread is talking about an R18 vs Tc, i do belive a Tc can beat an auto but am not to sure on the manual..

[Xtreme Thunder]

Bickering about what will beat what on the internet.

I say take it to a legit track, run three times, video, and post it.

[emopains]

Once again the tC will beat the fg, but it's a different story with the fg2. As soon as I got mine I raced about 4 tCs and they all got raped off the line. I even took one after a 20 and 40 mph roll.

I mention that I ran 15.1's in the 1/4 mile remember. And you car correct, I would not buy the S/C'er for the tC either (which I didn't...lol, I went the more efficient route). You can add I/H/E/crank pulley, and run high 14's in a tC, so why would anyone want to spend the money for a S/C'er. They did good by lowering the price of the S/C'er for the 05-06 tC's. You can get one for like $1,800. But for the 07, it's still like $3k which I have always thought was over priced for its performance.

I would imagine stock for stock a manual tC vs a manual R18, the tC would win.

[emopains]

That's all folks.
This tread needs to be closed now that the r18 and tC case has come to it's conclusion.
