Hey buddy,

IMHO, having driven 91 SX a fair few times and seen the "power" of a GLi EK hatch, i'd have to say you'd get well and truly chopped.
Assuming you're both around the same level as drivers, you'd get minced both off the line and down the road....
THe SX's are pretty heavy cars, but 2.2L and around the 105ish kw mark at the very least... they've got plenty of kick off the line and do decently at higher revs too...
AFAIK however your Gli has very little power, and although considerably lighter, i think won't be able to keep up.
Best bet, try and get a great launch first up and rev out each gear with smooth gear changes...... u never know... but mid 3rd u still might be close even with him........

good luck

All i know is the 1989-93 Celica SX's are slow asssssssssssssssssssssss.
My mate got an auto one and he lost to my other mate wich was a '92 Toyota Pasoe. Those celicas are only for look i reckon. However, GT-4 different story...hehehehe

But I don't know anything about ur Civic Gli EK sorry...

[joneblaze]

I dunno mate... my friend owns a 5spd 93 SX...2.2L with plenty of torque IMO...
DC2 VTiR would definitely beat it... but they really got some go....
Not sure about the auto versions, and have never been in a Paseo, but those SX's are definitely not "only for look i reckon"...... lol
