AP2 vs. Si sedan
So I'm on my way to work. I have a almost stock AP2 w/ the exception of a TP and a snorkel w/ K&N drop in. I don't consider those mods to be amazing. Anyways, I'm in the very right lane there is a truck in the middle lane and the Si in the very left, which I had no clue about. When the light turns green I take off like usual and I hear the Si w/ its HKS exhaust. He proceeds to step on it harder and I said hey why not. So I go into 2nd, were still pretty much neck and neck since he pulled on me first. As I go into 3rd, I pull on him and at the top of 3rd going into 4th, I basically has a car length on him if not a bit more. I shut it down at 80 or so. No traffic, nothing crazy. I've always heard the K-series motors are quick, I guess just not in a Si sedan.
My 2nd race ever in my almost 3 years of ownership. I don't consider the S to be a fast straight line car fairly stock but I just wanted to find out if Si sedans are quick or not. Happy Thanksgiving!! :hello: |
The only difference between and si coupe and sedan is 50lbs. They are quick from a roll. But dog slow from a dig or very low roll. Unless it's full boltons and tuned.
|
Yeah we started off right around 20mph, in 2nd gear. So maybe that's the reason, who knows?
|
you also got to remember that the Si has the same HP at the flywheel that we have at the wheels.
|
I eat them for lunch.

Only difference in the sedan rather than a coupe is....
1. Girls drive the sedans 2. Coupes are more sporty 3. Sedans weigh ~59lbs more than coupes. Good kill. I don't have a hard time beating Si's either. A majority of my friends own them. |

I like the looks of the sedan a lot better too.

We raced again with him shifting better and we were basically neck and neck. |
I'm not saying s2000's suck or anything at all, don't take this post this way. I LOVE my 01 s2000. I'm sad i'm eventually going to have to get rid of it. It was a little slower than my si, but it's way more fun to drive.
If ap2's had an 8500 rev limit, i think trap speeds would be somewhere around 103 in the 1/4 instead of 99-101. |
I've never had a problem with an Si :shrug:. Used to own a 07. I power shift dat shitz :LOL:
Two of my friends have sedans, i'll try and get a vid soon. Yea I like the look of sedans as well, especially when lowered and what not. But I used to have a coupe, so i'm biased :LOL: |
My friend has an 09 FA5 with hondata flashpro and a race header and I don't have any problems beating him at all.. (Dig or roll)
All i have is a berk test pipe and K&N FiPK.. His beat time at the track so far was a 14.4 @ 97 just a few weeks ago.. He's a pretty good driver so it's not him.. I think with full bolt ons he should be closer I guess.. |
