Civic Si's are faster then RX8's???
 

Every youtube video i watch of a civic si and a rx8 racing the rx8 loses...Idk i always thought the 8 was much faster

Why 2 different posts for this nonsense?

I didnt even realize i put up two posts, my computer spazed. Thnx

well, Civics surely are light
and being FWD theres less drivetrain loss.

It's was the stinky,sticky bud that made your computer spaced! STONER!!!! I got the munchies now!

My neighbor has a supercharged si that would smoke my 8 in a straight line but he won't come to the track with me because he knows I would destroy him.

And lose the avatar what are you 16? WTF

^.................your deduction skills are astounding! :rollingla


I shall now direct you to this little gem. https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-wheels-tires-brakes-suspension-55/what-do-you-think-these-tires-209730/

Haha Mind your own, Stop being so up tight relaxx, smoke a joint.. Weeds a good thing man. Alcohol is what kills hundreds of people a year

You think it would still smoke you if it was stock?

This is true..:weedpoke:

If you are just asking numbers, just google it.
If you are asking driving skill, won't know until on track.

I don't think so. My neighbor has driven my 8 and swears it was faster than his si pre supercharger.

No im just saying i been watching alot of youtube videos of drag races betwwen 8's and Si's and like everytime the civic wins. I just always seen the rx8 as a nicer, faster car or at least faster then a little honda civic

those Youtube idiots are probably shifting at 5000rpms,

not 9000rpms.....

civic si are 15's sec car

rx8's are 14.5's sec cars

o.O??

the 8 is not a drag car but it also isn't slow. second i would strongly advise that you think about what you want to start a thread about, this thread will probably be closed soon.

dude most vids i have seen, 8's are beating rsx's or si's , the ones were the 8 loses; they are either stock or lightly modded and the hondas have I,H,E or etc... there are some vids where moderate modded 8's manage to hang a bit with s2k's or 350's, its all in the driver!!

if you bought the 8 for drag racing, then you bought the wrong car.

Thanks man, Yeah i was just wondering you know. i figured i would get advice from the best.

dumb thread is dumb.

Does it really matter? Do you like driving a 4 door sedan or a sports car...you choose. The 8 has values a civic will never match. However if you want bolt ons and straight line numbers stay with the honda.

^this

OP...go get high somewhere, get in your car, and drive straight off a cliff

The previous Si had a 0-60 of around 7.3... Current model is at 6.6... Those are both slower than the 8. The Si has slower quarter mile times too, so its no like it starts out slower to 60mph but then picks up

Either the rx8 drivers you are seeing on youtube are shifting too soon (or doing something else wrong)... Or the Si that you are seeing have mods upping their power. Cause a stock 8 is faster than a stock Si


BTW... I have nothing against weed (at all), but having a username, avatar, and signature dedicated to it on a car forum is a little bit over the top. This isn't really the place to put how much you love to smoke in the middle of everyones discussions about cars and such haha

Dear lord why does everyone of the -30yr age group think this makes sense. If it's dumb we'll know it...you don't need to make a capt obvious statement to tell us it. It's your generation that needs redundancy.

I don't think he was telling "us". I think he was probably telling the OP

I have a feeling this thread is going to turn into a trainwreck soon.

trolls on crack = bad.

i call Bull shit...i smoke all my buddy's civic SI ...leave them in the dust

Hey Jorge!
Are you going to have a nice new year's eve? :)

We should ask to this guy why is he even bothered by performance if his reflexes are so slowed down by what he smokes lol.

civics are faster done deal. you bought the wrong car.

make sure your not stoned next time your in the dealership buying a car.

Not this again. Who cares? It's still a civic. My vtech just kicked in yo... Someone had to do it.

Both cars weigh about the same but the RX-8 has 35 more HP so I would assume it would win.

Why are you comparing a FWD box to a sports car though?

Stop posting new threads. Go get high, stay away from society and the internet.


Or you can just wrap your RX8 around a pole.

I mean really? Civic is faster? seriously ? what have u been smoking ?

but you know what ...

I Don't give a flying fuck

cuz there will always be faster cars. so who gives a shit.

not to mention, a Failed wheel drive car ? :(

I can tell that some of the veterans on this forum are getting pissed at the OP, but I am a potential owner and although the Rx8 has many great attributes, it would be annoying to get destroyed by some high school punk in a civic. I don't race on the roads, but there are times when I enjoy accelerating away from a light, so I understand what OP is saying.

You sort of contradicted yourself there bud.
If youre trying to find a car that can destroy anything in a straight line go get an SRT-4 or something of that nature.
If youre so worried about losing to teenage kids, thats simple, dont race.
Also, you would be surprised at the acceleration once you get into the higher RPMs. Drive one -MANUAL-, then come back.
or simply, save it for the track.

And another thing :

Why is it that so many people don't know the difference between the words 'then' and 'than' ?
