Hey i have a 85 corolla and this guy in a 96 or something like that honday civic want to race me, he has no mods to it and its a auto tranny. he has never raced be for. i have about 20 races that i have raced. i have nothing really done to mine but its gutted out 1 tenzo seat and a dash. he is going to have him like 160 lbs and his gf well over 200 lbs, do u think i will win??
If you had a GTS with maybe a few simple, effective upgrades (intake, exhaust for example) you'd be able to take a civic. Non-Si Civics only have about 130 hp
well let me tell u about my car, no bullcrap in it all i have is one seat and the dash, no cd player no speakers no nothing, i have made a custom cold air intake for it, no exhaust on the car open exhaust man. plus a stock sr5 is about 2300lbs stock with full tank of gas and all that stuff, i gutted all that crap dropping it to less then 1900. i speed shift at 6,000 rpms and will get him from a good roll at at about 45 mph. the other guy will have alot of people in his car 4-5 people in the car, 600 extra pounds easy. he has never raced a day in his life, its a auto tranny, i raced my cousin's zx2 with a 2.0 dohc ztec engine that is a auto too, do u still think i will lose?
You will lose. I doubt a gts would beat the civic let alone your sr5.
If you were road racing, auto-x or track racing, driver experience would probably influence the outcome.
straight fact... YOU WILL LOOSE!
couple of question though..
- why would he race with everyone inside his car?
- why are speed shifting at 6000 rpm? have you ever dyno-d you're SR5 and so sure that that's where you're supposed to be shifting?
- why does he have a heavy GF is he ugly? (disregard the last one, sorry! )
by the way...
STREET RACING IS ILLEGAL just so you know, but if you wanna do it on the track, goodluck!

If it's a '96 Civic it could have anywhere between 106HP and 127HP stock. Even if he has never raced, it doesn't make a whole lot of difference because his is auto. If he has a lower base model and doens't have that much HP, with a few people in the car, that huge weight difference between his car and your could mean you win. With a CAI and your free exhaust, roughly how much HP do you have? If you have about as much as him with HP and torque, you have a really good chance at winning. Race him and let us know how it turns out.
