lol it wasnt even for street racing
just exactly the same as this
i rekon it should be closed. These "VS" style threads have too many variables are and stupid. Like i have said a trillion times take it to the track and find out for urself and tell us how u went.
i have witnessed h22a accords car running a boosted civic that would beat rexies convinsingly...Quote:

i have the video somewhere on this forum to prove the point...

The reason why a rex feels faster is that they pull almost 1g during acceleration due to the initial boost of the turbo but thats about it.
I agree. The Rex feels fast but honestly isn't that fast.
Even a slightly modified one doesn't pull 1G in 1st gear, its more like around 0.6X G to 0.7XG. But if you do an AWD launch it'll pull 1G for a fraction of a section... probably for like 0.2 of a second LOL.
Its all about the power delivery band - which is sudden mid-range boost from nothing. It makes one think its really fast, when in reality - its just fast. A mid 13 high 14s car.
Nah a stock WRX doesn't do the quarter in 13s. It does it in 14s. Only the Stis and Evos do 13s.
Cant wait to munch an sti when im turbo
this thread is pretty damn funny..
lol
even though i have no respect for rexies..
maybe the Sti..
i think it'll be a pretty close game between a H22a and a wrx
in my b16a civic i've run against my mates H22a 5th gen
it was neck and neck but every gear shift i would go ahead as he wasnt a good driver.
anyhow...H22a's are torquey but i dont think there is much chance of a stock H22a eating a stock rexy.
like what kind of idiot races to 140-150 km/h ? unless u want to loose your liscence and not see it for a while.
Yes I know that but I did mention slight modded!
Which is I/E and its a mid-13's car.
Most higher revving Hondas with Header/Intake/Exhaust can do higher mph over the 400m than a WRX, and low 14's.
So its just a matter of power band and launching :)
yeah well you can munch a standard Sti when you upgrade but when the Sti upgrades its turbo you be back to square one again......Quote:

Actually I've munched a couple of them in my ex-S15 before. I had 15Xrwkw (with turbo mid-range power obviously, that no N/A can match) and was already walking very slowly away from an E46 M3 like that RSX Turbo. When I had more, I was walking them by car lengths.
So turbo does wonders. But then again, Catcha is right. What's the point of having N/A then? The answer is extra torque which makes car go fast at high speeds, which is inadequate in 4 cylinder hondas due to gear ratios multiplying effect losing efficiency at higher speeds.
And the speed limit is only 100kph anyway.
So why do we need to drive a fast car? Why do we bother making comparisons with a Toyota Prius Hybrid when that is perfectly adequate? Why do we even come on this forum to discuss or to read magazine reviews?
Notice I'm being slightly rhetorical and sarcastic here. Of course, we just want the faster ride somehow.... :)
you can have the fastest car if you have a fattest wallet, i'm sure with unlimited funds you can make an excel fly :p
Time to close the thread.... Too much streetracing in it.
