'07 Civic Si v.s. '00 Eclipse GT

Tim620X · 10-18-2007, 03:36 PM

Hey guys, just a quick question. Not trying to bring up street racing or anything, I'm just wondering this...

My friend (who is a girl) just got a 2000 Eclipse GT V6 and I went for a drive in it with her and I seriously think my Si could beat it. What do you guys think?! The Eclipse makes 205HP so it's not much more than the Si but of course it has more torque being a V6. Now her car is really nice and it is pretty fast, but it seems like the Si could take it once it hits v-tec and stays in it. On thing about the Eclipse is it sounds AWESOME! lol you can't hear it inside the car but outside when she revs it, that engine/exhaust sounds so good lol.

So what do you think, Si or Eclipse GT?!

you will win this one.

FINALLY! A race thread in which the Si is the faster car....... lol sorry.

si ftw

Tim620X · 10-18-2007, 03:42 PM

Thank you! lol, I thought it would. She's a really good driver too and her car's standard but I dunno, the Si just goes when you get up there.

I took her for a ride and she was really impressed at how fast the Si was lol, her exact reaction was "OH WOW!" plus the sound of v-tec will do that to ya lol

NIGHTHAWKSI · 10-18-2007, 03:43 PM

yea....the eclipse is heavy also. definatly the SI is faster.

reguardless any female for a friend that long..you should be aware of everything she has to offer

btw: The Si sounds great, too. You can't hear most of it inside the car. Try standing behind it and getting someone to rev it. Sounds even better when I do that in my garage.

RedLineSi · 10-18-2007, 05:08 PM

Si for sure

galaxygrey13 · 10-18-2007, 05:30 PM

Yeah the SI would win.

Oh I know, it sounds damn good! It's extremely loud inside the car compared to the Eclipse lol, its crazy.

But yeah I love how the Si sounds, very nicely tuned stock exhaust and the engine itself is just a beast.

i was waiting for some smart ass to say "IF U WANT TO BEAT IT, SELL UR CAR AND BUY ONE OMGROFLAWLZ" hate that shit ... /rant

**Snake-eyes** · 10-18-2007, 10:22 PM

trystar · 10-18-2007, 10:26 PM

i raced an eclipse on a MILE STRETCH TRACK from a 40 roll and that thing saw my license plate pretty quick

**ethlar** · 10-18-2007, 10:33 PM

And on that note this thread is closed

call it a track all you want, unless you can provide a track name where you can legitimately race side by side from a roll this thread stays closed
