Civic vs. Camaro

[lambo101]

Who would win? A stock 1995 3.4l Camaro w/ Automatic, or a 1994 Honda Civic EX 5 speed w/ everything stock except a CAI.

haha i think a turd coming outta my *** would beat a civic

[V8 Killer]

Without a doubt , The Camaro

[LwnGy83]

My old 94 camaro bone stock would beat Civics w/ CAI and exhaust.

[V8 Killer]

Stock civics barely make 100 horsepower.V6 Camaros make like 160 stock

[3.4 slow to go]

which would win, this post staying here, or this post getting moved to the right forum?

wow, a lot of bench racing without considering gearing, weight, power-to-weight ratio, etc....look it up and you'll find the performance numbers not too far apart.

civics suck out of the hole. they make all their power up top. so from a stop youd more than likely win. from a roll it would be alot closer esp if it is a vtech motor. those cars are better up top due too the light weight and higher revving motors.

They are also geared to wind up faster too. If you have a top ender all you gotta do is rev it up and side step...more wear and tear, but hey, it gets the job done :D

I agree. But then again, everything you post in the lounge gets locked, so this guy may be on to something....

I think this would be better suited in the Kill Stories forum, which is what 3.4 slow to go was getting at. If I'm wrong, sue me [img]tongue.gif[/img] .

[chadder]

is the 'civic vs. camaro' thing even worthy talking about? a buddy of mine with a 93 SE-R took a turbo civic EX (6lbs of boost) stock SE-R...but that thing is suprisingly quick! (though he still gets a great view of my brakelights [img]smile.gif[/img]

close race, but assuming your car is in tip top mechanical shape youll win
because lets face it, the 3.4 is piss slow stock
add a few things, and be surprised

This is not always true. most of the vtech engines have a very narrow power band. sure you can rev it up and dump it but it will still fall out of the peak power band
