They might be a 4 cylinder but there are alot of them out there that would smoke you from a roll.

93 Civic with a Type-r huh? anything else done?? NOS, Turbo? anything?
If it is a Jap Type-r it only has 195Hp so its about 150 to the wheels! no that will not take you!

an all motor stock GSR swap in a lightened hatchback will run very strong from a roll, but doesnt have enough to take a decent driver in a modded '03. Now should he have stuff done to the motor or have some sort of power adder, thats when you should be careful from a roll, still shouldnt be able to beat you from a dead-stop without heavy work being done.

you might already know this but check where the header is and see if there is a turbo and where the intake manifold is...well a supercharger. if there is none of these dont even bother being scared about it

1. Wrong forum
2. Not all Japanese cars are shit
3. No he doesnt stand a chance

Unless it has 10k in motor work and turbos and nitrous, no you shouldnt have a problem beating him. Especially from a dig.

Race him. If he beats you respect is due. Why would anyone be scared to race anyone? Is your ego THAT fragile? Who cares.. just race him if you're wondering if he will beat you.

I don't know about your use of the word "alot". I see wild rides quite ofen and have yet to see a quick one of these. I know they exist, but it's like finding a needle in a haystack.

Exactly..We are talking about cars that run, what, like 17 seconds or worse in the quarter mile? It would take a boatload of cash to gain over 4 seconds and compete with a factory 12-13 second car. That's why you don't see alot of em. Look how much it takes just to get a 14 second car into the twelves. If the guy has an engine swap, that's good for him, but he better be bringing ALOT more to the table unless he has also gutted his interior, ac, stereo, rear and passenger seats to get down to like 2000lbs.
