With a manual transmission anything is possible. I know of a STi that beat a C6 Z06 at the track because the C6 driver couldn't drive. He was running 14's... So just race and find out! (On a closed course of course )

Manufacturer-claimed HP ratings don't mean ****. Don't base your answer off that, please. It's been proven over and over that the 2.4 is close to the Si.. stock for stock the Si usually comes out on top, but it is still a close race. Driver's race if they are manuals.

unless i saw a factory freak 2.4. all he had was a K&N sri and was right along side the si's door. it was a damn good race and they ran 3 times, all the same outcome

see my name?

Im not basing it off that

so if I told u guys a 2.4 can beat a SS/SC with I/E and tires, that would seem reasonable?

Dont try to figure it out, its a yes or no question.

drivers race deffinetly traded a 2007 si nhbp for my 08 ss/tc (LOVE THE SS SOO MUCH MORE!) but the ss2.4 will jump off the line but once the v-tec kicks the civic will be right there next to you, just dont miss a shift

if his moms car has hondata YOU WILL LOSE!

Sorry to burst your bubble, bro

are you seriously trying to say that a 4 door si can beat a ss/sc?? Please do your research that was obviously driver.... No ****, if its a bad driver against a good driver of course one car will own... Thats why i have heard of 2.2 base model cars beating si's and so forth..

sis run high 14s for a great and i mean great driver a regular driver will only get 15-15.4 out of that car... ss/scs stock have ran 14.001 stock no mods no nothing....

obviously in that video there was a **** load of clutch slip from the cobalt and a short first gear slipping
