some guy tryed to race my ss/sc in a new si on the highway once, needless to say i tore him, his gay spiked hair cut and pollo shirt and new one..., i think youll cream him, they are extremly over rated

i used to have a 2.4ss with an intake, and my brother has a stock 06 Si...he beat me everytime. as much as we love our cobalts, we can't pretend...the Si is faster.

How many stock 2.4 Cobalts have hit 14's? The best I've ever seen a new Civic Si run was 14.7 stock, average is right around 14.9-15.0.

Here is the link to my race with an 08 civic Si sedan. I drive the hhr ss and i have the stage kit. The race is from a 40mph roll because this kid doesnt do anything off the line. Enjoy

welll.. you say average is right around.. solid 15's?


yea not so much lol every time i've seen an si run they've been high 15's to high 16's i've never seen a new Si run below a 15 without something major.. one by me ran a 14.1 with giggle juice.. i'll give you their best time is about 14.7 ... but seriously ... there are so many out there.. you cant say that "average is only .3 above that.. too many shitty drivers..

sethallen

bottom line: no cobalt 2.4's hit 14's stock

many stock Si's do...i watched it happen

k?

It takes a decent driver to make the Civic Si shine. Mostly on the launch. But good drivers who can nail the launch... they can be quick.
I think they have.... what... a 4:42 final drive if I'm not mistaken. So the launch is bog or smoke. I don't remember stock... but after my reflash I think about 2600-2700 was perfect for me. Much above or below killed the launch.
When you are talking mods too... that K motor responds awesome to just about any mod you throw at it.

Thank you!! That was my whole point, I guess some people gotta be down right to detail.

oh boy... you really want to go down this road again?

then i guess " many" ss/tcs run mid 13's there are way to many kids that own the si i have yet to see one of them hit 14's without a good amount of work personally..

while they're good cars.. with any average driver.. it's a drivers race between a 2.4 and one with an above average driver.. the 2.4 is going to need to be modded.

BigEMU1

bottom line: you have no idea what you're talking about because there are 2-3 forum members on here with timeslips that have hit 14's stock in peak conditions in a 2.4

The 2.4 is capable of high 14's stock. But yes the Si is quicker.

elecblue06

iTrader: (1)

yes that is a fact.. the Si's have the potential to be quicker stock v. stock.. in the hands of a decent driver.. however you said best case scenario is a 14.7 bast case scenario for a 2.4 is 14.9 ... IMO thats still a drivers race

an Si should be quicker... but so far i've never lost to one.. or personally seen evidence of it

dude 2.4 stock vs si stock si would win but when it comes to a modded 2.4 say bye bye to si ive did it trust me

Acey

When are people gonna stop saying this?

When it comes to modded Si say bye bye to 2.4. It goes both ways.

FutureEcotecOwner

Of course that is true, modded 2.4 vs stock 2.0. Throw the same mods on a 2.4 Cobalt and the same on a new Civic Si or RSX-S, and say bye bye to the 2.4 Cobalt.

omg... wtffff... i see why the good members leave this site...

seriously... yes the Si SHOULD win but there are alot more "hotshot" teenagers driving the Si because they think honduhz are super l33t uber awesome.. so you have more people driving si's who don't know how to drive worth a ****..

i don't think anyone has contesting that the si SHOLUD be faster.. and under the right circumstances is faster but the every day SI with normal driver thats not the outcome.. not to mention sis's are offered in autos so an auto si vs a 5 speed 2.4 balt .. is a different outcome ...

i'm saying that who wins a race depends because of the transmission....

... god some of you need to grow the hell up

The WTF was because there was no option for a auto SI. My wife has a 09 si. Unless there is some special order honda worked out but I doubt it. Std is a 6 sp and I don't remember seeing a auto options for any k20 from the type-s to the SI.

ajjaro

he has a point, there has never been an auto si, i looked into getting an si in 2006, tehre was no auto option, there IS a sedan option tho

FutureEcotecOwner

There is no auto whatsoever in a Civic Si, LOL. You need to learn alittle bit before you tell everyone else to grow up.

An auto Si would be an embarrassingly poor performer. Gotta keep the revs high on that bastard.

Good thing it doesn't exist.

a apologize .. i went on the honda site.. and it says there's an auto option... but it turned out i didn't click on the SI like i thought i did..

and making a mistake doesn't mean i can't tell people to grow up.. me making a mistake has no bearing now how immature you guys are acting....

soooo.. grow up

fact of the matter is.. a WELL driven Si will beat a 2.4 everytime... stock vs stock.. unfortunately most Si's aren't well driven , not saying most 2.4's are .... i just think it's an easier car to drive
