4th Gen vs 5th Gen

[dickiej_10]

I've got a stock 93 Lude Si and my mate has just bought a 2000 Vtir (also stock). I've been thinking of racing him, however i don't like my chances. Does anyone have comparable times between the two models, ie. 0 - 100 or 1/4 mile?

Or should I just save my petrol??

Save ur petrol buddy.. if urs was a VTIR.. you'd stand a chance...

Si - dont bother

:)

[redliner]

yeah like stealth said... stick si vs stock vtir... the chances are very low.. unless the vtir dude cant drive...

[azjs]

It'd be a close one I reckon, at least for the first 100kmh

I'd give it a go hey.. dont be intimidated by the statistics.. on paper your in trouble but on the "track" :p it would be closer than you think i suspect. No respect lost in taking him on.. just let us all know when.. I'd be very keen to watch.

I've heard the 4th gen vti-r is lighter than the 5th gen vti-r Is this true?

[lilphil]

isnt the 4th gen vtir faster den the 5th gen?
havent raced one b4 but the 4th gen should be lighter

For laughs have a go I reckon. You'll only beat him if you can drive and shift better than him. If that's even stevens then you'll more than likely lose. The VTEC is got another 900-1,000rpm on you, even though you got a tad more torque. That should see him away in 2nd and 3rd.

But still you do beat him, you can brag too :D

I think i read somewhere that the 4th gen is alittle lighter.. but then the 5th gen H22 engine has a few extra Kw's than the 4th gen H22.

Not simply that - it's also the closer ratio of the 4th gen that outguns a 5th gen (both VTiRs)

umm, aren't we talking Si? The Si has slightly taller gears than the Vtir

[azjs]

See my post "(both VTiRs)" = both of them being VTiRs

I mean in regards to the fellas question, not that you're wrong about the Vtir gearing

[azjs]

Yep yep gotcha :)

Well to put things into perspective, I've had the opportunity to compare (I have a 5th gen gearbox), and the Si will stay with the 5th gen VTiR well into 2nd gear I reckon.

Well that gives us Si slobs a chance then doesn't it :p
