Cb7 vs 2010 civic ex

[BIGRICH]

Alot of you guys are saying the civic

The civic makes the same horse power as a stock cb7, a tiny bit more than OP's 130 ( asuming he has some sort of 4-2-1 header he has at least 130 regardless if its an a1 ) and its automatic. They're also heavier

I feel if OP's car is a manual he will win much easier than you think

Just because the civic is " newer " doesn't mean shit. Its a 2010, it probably has 20k+ miles on it already. So long as OP's car is healthy i think he has a good probability of winning

AGREED.....

based on the fact that my 91 with the 93 f22 out ran my wifes 2008 civic ex 4dr....both are auto. the cb will smoke the civic. the newer civics are super slow.

i heard that newer car will not accel when floored as fast as older ones because of safety reasons. like they kinda hold it back with the emmisions stuff and the electronics

[9dee4drAccord]

I beat my friends 2011 4dr civic lx with my 4dr and Im at 200k and have over heated at least once.
I'd say the cb7 will beat the civic

^ x2. I've beat 2008+ SIs on block to block races around here and im sure a 1.8 sohc will be nothing special.

[SOHC-FTW]

lol

[KeeleDesign]

Bwahahahaha

My SOHC F22 5 speed with a few mods, would smoke my wifes 06 civic with the same engine and trans, which you speak of.

Those cars have a peak of 150ish hp, at one particular rpm, the tq curve is horrendous, they aren't made for power, hers has 160,000 miles and still gets 39 mpg.

You will win the race, unless you just can't drive.

I would have to say ,No , the civic should win . Your stock cb7 maybe lucky to have 125 whp...The stock 1.8 has a 140 whp output. BTW , bench racing is lame sauce.. I'm not going to bitch on ya for racing even if its on the street or the track ..No matter WHO you are we are all guilty of this admit it or not...

As im the only one who brought this up, it's clearly referring to me.

Why do you feel the need to make it ok?

Yes, I am guilty of it, but because Im older, I also know first hand why it is a bad idea.

I was simply snuffing out any idea of bragging about it if it was street, becasue as a forum we should not condone it.

If you personally do it and think it is ok thats your deal, but keep it off of here.

Just because the civic is " newer " doesn't mean shit.

How doesn't it mean shit? You have two cars with similar weights and horsepower, but one is 21 years old and the other is 2 years old... The Civic's engine is going to be in better shape, over 2 decades the CB engine isn't going to be as healthy regardless of what you say.

There is obviously a lot of factors that we do not know. Either of the engine's overall condition, driver's ability, etc, etc... I am just going on basics though, assuming both drivers are the same skill level and both engines are normal (but still keeping into consideration that the Accord engine is considerably older than the Civic's), then I would still have to say Civic.

I'm not saying the Civic is going to completely smash. But I believe it'll win. Though, I agree with you for the most part about if its a stick or not. That would DEFINITELY make the difference. I am just going on the assumption that both are autos...

the newer civics are super slow.

I guess "super slow" is relative because I've driven one and and I wouldn't consider it a beast but not super slow either... Atleast not any slower than a 20 year old Accord auto.

[Ralphie]

LOL at everyone who thinks that the Accord is such a beast.

Shit is stock.

Cmon now.

I love the gen just as much as everyone else, but let's come back to reality will we?

It's a family sedan thats 20+ years old.

[buzz11]

Pretty much what Hardinthepaint is saying is..
A 20 year old guy is going to foot race a 40 year old guy. They are the same height and weight. Who do you think will win?

ive driven one also....about 3-4 times a week. we own one. they are slow as hell. my 91 with the 2 year younger motor walks on the civic....hers is an ex 4 dr auto....mine is an auto, however it is a coupe. i have a huge amount of added power from my short ram lmao. mine has a hug 3rd order sub box with 2 12w1 subs and i carry a regular size floor jack in the trunk too. i weigh 337. she is in at about 125 (145 preggo). the cb will absolutely run away from the civic.....period.

Please don't tell me your one of those "graphics add hp" people?

[BIGRICH]

what gave you that idea? do you know what "LMAO" means?

please dont tell me you are one of those "i call bullshit on someone's personal experience" people....

Naw youre wrong

Civic does ~140 at the crank

I think OP will win as long as he doesn't botch the launch
