The new V-tec Civics are 127 hp and the older non V-tec fuel injected were around 108 hp and carburated Civic's around 90hp.

 

If I had a 450R and got beat by a Civic (something my mother would drive) I would cry.

 

the non vtec b18a/b had 130-142hp with 121ft of tq i believe it was. with his mods im sure hes around 150hp with comparible torque in a 2500lbs car.

 

The 450R will KILL the Civic up to its top speed. Then it will just be a matter of time before the Civic catches up and passes it. I know for a fact that it wouldn't even be close in the 1/8, and I think the 450R should still run a high 15/low 16 1/4 which is still alot faster than a Civic.

 

isnt the top speed of the 450R like 70mph? I dont think it's going to run no low 15, but I could be wrong.

The civic if properly tuned (have no idea why it has a skunk2 intake manifold and is NA) should run around a mid-low 15.

 

newbeatle, runs nearly 16 flat on his 750cc Prairie in the 1/4 mile. I would think a 450R should be somewhere close!

a stock civic is going to run about an 18 second 1/4

the 450R might have a chance, because it will WASTE the civic off the line.

I raced my brothers toyota corolla off the line in a 1/4 mile drag on my YFZ. my yfz is piped, jetted, no air box lid, and a cam mod. i tore him a new one up until I topped out...the rolla obviously started coming up on me real hard, but didn't come back fast enough.

btw, a corolla will take a civic if u raced them...but a 150hp civic will probably catch you on your 450r

 

Thats cool. I always wondered what atv's would run but thought it was pointless because of the lack of top end gearing.


I used to be heavily into fwd Hondas because of the handling and inexspensive cars, but never gave a crap about drag racing. But setting up a car for a road coarse is more exspensive then any atv addiction will ever be.

 

NA stands for Naturally aspirated, at least thats what I think he was referring to. That means no turbo charger. As for the other stuff its just an exhaust and intake and manifold.

 

its an odd modfication (skunk2 manifold) to have with only a few aftermarket parts on the car. NA non vtec cars usually get the boost right away or some wild cams and other bolt-ons.
