I could not have picked a better race if I tried! This morning I was on my way to VA to meet up with CobaltBurst to get his stock 2.0 injectors and I see a Civic sedan and think heeeeey check him out! Then I see the SI and I think WOW someone else with a sport sedan! I pass him he gets behind me and starts riding my bumper so close I can't even see his hood! WTF! So I did what anyone would do in this sitch....BRAKE CHECK! Boy did his eyes get BIG! I turned on the BW parkway and so did he, I floored it and so did he.
It was on! I stayed in the middle lane and he darted to the left lane and tried to pass me but he just didn't have enough to do it. He got about to my rear door and stopped pulling but mine didn't! I kept in it till he was at my rear bumper and his lane ended he ducked in behind me but no more riding my bumper! This continued all the way to the Capital Beltway, him trying to get around me and running out of gas! The furthest he got was his first try and he ran out of ompf by my rear door but he kept trying, gotta give him an E for Effort! Anyway I get in the right lane to exit and he pulls along side gives a thumbs up and mouthed "Thats fast" at me, I returned the thumbs up and said "yours too" We waived and I went on the off ramp.

For more then 20 minutes he tried to get around me and it seemed like his car would start to pull like crazy but then stopped and he'd fall back. Why did this happen I could not tell you but I stayed ahead of him ans ulitmatly took the win!

So far that makes....
Cobalt SS sedan...4
Honda Civic SI.....0

Jack...ahh Jack......YOU FRIGGIN ROCK! Nice Honda population control! Good kill. Sedan versus sedan. I like it. So now we all that the 2.4L's can keep up/beat the civics as well.

Jackalope

Thanks guys but you gotta stay in it as hard as you can those things are no joke!

g5mike

Excellant Jack! nice to see the thumbs up from him.

Jackalope

Yeah its nice to have someone cool about it.

an0malous

haha nice kill.
sport sedans havin some fun!

TCarter

BTW, its an A for Effort. LOL.

Good Kill. I like the SS Sedans, the autos in them arnt bad either (I have a 2.4 SS Sedan Auto).

...but if he rode my ass like that, and then gave the thumbs up and mouthed the "Thats Fast"....i probably woulda gave him a thumbs up, and mouthed "Yours sucks"...with a smile on my face.

I raced an Si coupe today at Great Lakes Dragaway. He had an exhaust, brand I do not know, and an AEM CAI. We raced once. I ran a 14.624@98.29, not my best run but the best of the day. He ran a 14.659@100.21. Pretty close. Now mind you, these are the mods that I know of because I could see the exhaust and the CAI when I walked past his car with his hood open. I never talked to him though.

BTW nice kill!

BACK2GM

Good kill! I know of a certain 4drss auto that beat a new Si 2dr at the track last night

MARIN007

This stuff is good to hear. There's someone I know that feels his stock Si coupe can take my car easily and be a match for the ss/sc. All I said was "We'll see"

iLLmaTic3s

nice kill. our cars kill those Si's.

Stouffer

Nice Kill...Were you runnin radar? In my experiene on the BW parkway I see a lot of police.

celicacobalt

i didnt know the si came in sedan

blackngold20

They've always had them, but the new ones started this year.

For a 2.4L its a good race but Si stock vs SS/SC stock...I don't know. I've killed so many...lol

g5mike

Ya I don't think anybody is really debating the ss/sc>>Si anymore it all seems to be SI>>2.4 debate now

chipsgt

Holy crap man. Thats a long ass stretch of road!

GTP

What are the mods on your car?

Cobalt_Supercharged

Bad too...and on video tape. EcoTAK FTW!!!

iLLmaTic3s

i wanna run a new Si. everytime i see them they are going the opposite way of me. i think it would be a good race.

Jackalope

Sorry guys had to work! Mods include the GMPP intake and manifold and a set of Sportlines, tho I doubt they made me any faster just better looking I could have been a sore winner about the whole deal since he started it but I figured since I finished it with the win thats all that mattered. And yes it is a looooong strech of road and nope no radar just a veeery watchful eye! That and the cops won't try to come after you from a dead stop at speeds over 100 cause it takes them at least 20 miles to catch you and by them time Heeeeello off ramp!

Thanks all and yeah the SI vs SS/SC arguement is about dead you guys MURDER THEM! But now it us 2.4 guys turn at bat so make sure you keep showing the support for the home team!

SS4ME

I wouldn't call it murder. Did you read post #9? If I would have had a so so reaction time like his, my 1 and 1/2 car length victory would have been closer. CAI and exhaust is what he had. With these mods, I believe you 2.4 SS guys would have more than a handfull.

I 've run into 3 Sis all coupes. The first two I raced each from a slow roll (1st and second gears) I got in front and never gave it up. They were each at my quarter panel or rear bumper to top of 4th gear. They looked an dsounded pretty much stock.

The last one I raced from a mid second gear roll and he handed me my lunch. Stomped a big mud hole in my ego.

He said he had I/H/E and Hondata flash. Dynoed well over 200hp to the wheels. For an NA car, they can get real fast for just a little dough and as the speeds get higher, they pull harder and harder.

Jackalope

I was refering to the majority of the races we've heard of in hear where a SS/SC in stock trim goes up against an SI in stock trim and it looks like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. You simply found one that was modded and had a stage 3 driver mod to boot.

Modded these SI guys should take a stock 2.4 no problems. Just like modded we should be able to return the favor in kind.

Not knocking the SI's just letting you know they CAN be beaten by a 2.4 with very basic stuff done.

g5mike

Not this 2.4
