Guys, if you really want to beat people off the start. Buy a 2nd hand, cheap Skyline GT-R.
I have one... it's not a great daily driver as it guzzles up a lot of fuel... but damn it's fast. I just bought a Civic for a daily driver but when I go to sleep I dream in Skyline. Never did like the idea of turbo cars until I bought it. Don't diss one until you have driven one. It's a beast in the true sense of the word. I overtook 2 Porsches (911 + Boxter) and an M3 all at the same time on the straight at Eastern Creek early this month and hit 220km/hr before the left sweeper at the end of the straight and that was "taking it easy".
:) Turbo's are cheating? Well then cheating's good! Especially when you have a twin turbo RB26! :)
I know this is the civic section, but if any foo with a Sportivo or celica wants to "show me what they got", any modification, they are more than welcome to let me know.....
hahahahaha go get em sport ;) do us all proud :DQuote:

imagine all the mods done to a civic vti-r are also done to the sportivo.
who'd win?
I will admit, a stock sportivo will get beatin by a stock type r....only by a bit.
No use having a skyline GTR and racing a non-turbo supra or honda s2000. it's just not a ffair comparison.
Gotta keep it realistic. Why should i race a worked vti-r when my car isn't worked either? shouldn't both cars be worked to make it fair?
McChook: what's done to your prelude?
you obviously havent raced an ITR, i do recommend you try it, then tell me how you only lost by a bit :roll:Quote:

there was a stock dc5 and a stock sportivo. the sportivo lost, but not by much.
the front of the sportivo was at the rear of the dc5.
i should have video taped it, but for legal purposes...i didn't.
then...we had another sportivo there..but with a unichip. beat the dc5. just.
i'm not saying the dc5 and civic coupe vti-r is slow. all i'm saying is that, you gotta give some respect to other cars out there.
look at the new 206 GTI 180. That's a quick car! 0-100 mid - high 7's. Stock!
Honda's are great cars, don't get me wrong, but there are other cars out there too, and i know you guys don't want to admit it, but can beat honda's too. (eg: sportivo stock vs vti-r stock). don't go stupid with saying that a worked dc5 will absolutely smash a sportivo (well, are they both worked? or is the sportivo stock? details like this matter.)
But a DC5 is only 118kw !! HAHA
hahaha if u live in melbourne man i'll take u on neday... an di drive a STOCK ek4... come see me before i put in the bolt ons i bought...
BUt, not saying i'll win man, just wanna see...
what i meant was....the new Integra Type-R.
Sorry, don't know all the honda models.
isn't the DC2 the old integra and the dc5 the new integra?
Yea they are...But you mean the DC5R :)
Anyways I dunno...I was in the same situation as you with a friend's sportivo (I was just behind him)...and if you know what car I have, you would be thinking wtf considering the car is nearly twice the power of mine...LOL....my friend also said he was giving it as well!! So I'm not sure...maybe he was bullshitting me or not.
