my friend has a 2000 si, we raced of the line and i have four car lenghts on him by 60mph, this was when my car was dead stock, 2.73's and aod transmission, i didnt even know how to hold out the gears in my tranny at the time so it was shifting around 4600-4700rpms, the civics may be rated at 160hp and rev to 8000rpm but there torque rating is absolutely pathetic, i think its like 113ftlbs. my friend also told me he was shifting at 8000 in every gear, those little motors just dont have the torque to compare with a stang.
