Re: Civc vs Tiburon

Are you both manual?

 

Re: Civc vs Tiburon

you off the line prolly then him beating u by 1.5 car assumeing equal drivers

 

Re: Civc vs Tiburon

Actually I wasn't racing anybody in particular. I was just using these two cars as an example. But I DO have an 07 Tiburon SE and a friend of mine DOES have a Civic, but I think its an 05/06 and not an Si.

you off the line prolly then him beating u by 1.5 car assumeing equal drivers

This is what I was thinking too, but I see all these stupid videos on youtube and crap with "stock" tibbys beating "stock" civics in the quarter. Anyways, just slap on the i/h/e and its bye bye civic

How much is the overall torque affected by bolt ons btw???

 

Re: Civc vs Tiburon

better watch out bra' dat VTAC is gonna smoke u....lol.....i agree u off the line then he creeps by unless it is one of those 4 door autos....they = suckage

If it were an auto, then it wouldn't be an SI...

Civic would win.

 

Re: Civc vs Tiburon

i find it affected my top end more than anything and sorta lost some bottom end with exhaust and headers but thats my opinion on how my car runs

 

Re: Civc vs Tiburon

lol...a 60ft is a 60ft...you guys dont have enough torque or traction to be braging about your off the line power...fact of the matter is equal drivers in both cars, the Si w/ its LSD would be a lot easier to punk the tib off the line, and with its high 14sec 1/4 capability; put about a bus lenght on a stock mid 15sec tib....reality...

+1 ... they just need to keep their rpms hight enough while feathering in the clutch to get as good or even better takeoff

 

Re: Civc vs Tiburon

Guess thats what happens with a motor that has been used since the 90s huh.

 

Re: Civc vs Tiburon

VTEEEEEEEECCCCCCCC YOOo

 

Re: Civc vs Tiburon

Epic

Vtec FTMFW

 

Re: Civc vs Tiburon

LOL... one of the many reasons I barely pay attention to NT anymore... there are more people on here that a) don't even own a tib, or b) hate their own tib and wished they owned something else.

Honda rules FTW!!! Civic Si's with a tune can beat a Viper!!! Go FF forever!!!

oh yeah, and the best mod that adds 100 whp instantly to our tibs is the Honda H swap. Get rid of the crooked H FTW!!!

Re: Civc vs Tiburon

Cool - another "Tib vs. Civic" thread...

Let me get comfortable...:snacks:

 

Re: Civc vs Tiburon

Eh, Don't worry about it. Im probably going to stay outta this one.

 

Re: Civc vs Tiburon

VTAC fool pwns all lol......im just not a big civic fan....i guess its because everyone has em and u can get a turbo kit for one for $5 so everyone has a turbo civ

 

Re: Civc vs Tiburon

No one really cares that you don't come around here anymore. Its not like 90% of your posts on NGMs forum is just talking crap about NT.. oh wait..

and where in any single one of my posts on NGM have I ever trash talked about NT? :3_withstu

 

Re: Civc vs Tiburon

What..? What are you talking about? Who are you talking to..?

 

Re: Civc vs Tiburon

HokieTib.

All I see is trash talk over there on the NGM forum about NT.

 

Re: Civc vs Tiburon

I thought you were talking about me I was like uh, I don't even go on NGMs forum lol .

 

Re: Civc vs Tiburon

Yea, Forgot to quote. I don't mean to call him out like that, but Its all I ever see anymore.

 

Re: Civc vs Tiburon

I say you will probably win once you get him off the line..depends how far you guys are racing...just pull off the line and flash your hazards at 80 hehehe

 

Re: Civc vs Tiburon

Unfortunately, stock for stock, the Civic would win.

stock vs stock, civic will pull on you

 

Re: Civc vs Tiburon

I'm just waiting for the flamefest to ensue...

@ OP: Civic Si will take a Tib asuming the drivers are equal.

 

Re: Civc vs Tiburon

My reason:
Supercharged
Looks better
I can borrow girl's car for gas mileage.

 

Re: Civc vs Tiburon

VTEC (variable valve timing and lift electronic control) as it pertains to performance Honda's: (they also have things like e-vtec that are strictly for emissions and gas mileage) Basically, the camshaft has a regular lobe, and a high performance lobe, as compared to a normal camshaft, with just one lobe. At a certain rpm/load the engine computer swiches to the high performance cam lobe, enabling the engine to make power up to 8000 or 9000 rpm, while retaining perfect idle and emissions.

what is the v-tec and what do you guys mean by "wait until it kicks in"....and please no flaming this is a legitimate question in a HYUNDAI forum...[/QUOTE]

 

Re: Civc vs Tiburon

Does he have a Type R sticker on the back window? If so, be careful. Those stickers are da bomb.

Re: Civc vs Tiburon

meh actually civics are fun too...I say go for it they are not bad at all

 

Re: Civc vs Tiburon

my bro bought an 07 civic si. yes it's nice, but I'm not impressed with the fact that the car costs about 4K more than a fully loaded tib. it doesn't have leather along with a few other options. Don't get me wrong the car is nice, but not for me. And I think that a tib would be faster. granted I have a cai, sts, & resonator removed from exhaust(very minor mods, imo). I still think the si is slow. And another thing with the si, that driver will have to shift faster than what a tib driver would have to. Hopefully this summer my bro and I will line up and see how it goes.

 

Re: Civc vs Tiburon

You want torque for a street car...well, at least I do.
I've passed the "having to downshift and wind it out to 8k just to pass" point of my life.

yes... to have power only near read line sucks, you need torque to enjoy driving your car... thats is why i hate when people try to compare to muscle cars.... cuz joy of riding car with alot of torque far surpasses joy that you can have in 4 banger that can do 1/4 a bit faster....
