Hey guys i have a mate with a mivec fto, and he insists that mivec is way better than vtec, his car makes roughly 120kw @ wheels.. Last night we went out for a cruize and had a couple of playfull runs, anyway I was beating him comfortably, pulling non stop..
He got the jump off line too and as soon as 1st picked up i was infront and gone.. now my car makes 107kw at fronts which i'm told is less than standard and i'm running through the stock LS gearbox so i fall outa vtec badly from 1st to 2nd.. I was just wondering if this is the normal outcome in a fto vs integra type run or is his car shit or is my car quick for the low power and high ratio's i have?
My friend has an xr6 he took to eastern creek and he ran consistent 14.7's with a pb of 14.6, when we stuffin around our cars are side by side, basically no difference, from launch till we both back off so we have agree'd that would mean my car would be running the same as his.. also he says that he has had a few runs with fto's before and he says he too leaves them for dead.. Any way i really just wanna hear people's oppinions on the whole matter..
I'm not trying to start a mivec vs vtec war like other post's i have read i'm just after some answer's coz i was honestly thinking he would give me a decent run?
