can a 2008 honda civic si beat a 2000 lexus es 300 in a race?

by Reed on December 16, 2009

my friend thinks she can beat me in this race, she is in the lexus, but im pretty sure she will lose. thoughts?
we are not street racing were doing this at the track quarter mile. lauching at 4k. and powershifting to try to win

The Civic – if driven by someone who know what they’re doing and knows how to launch it properly is not afraid to run it to redline – will win easily. If the drivers aren’t particularly skilled, the Lexus might win due to the no brain automatic.

My thoughts are….

I hope you are taking this race to a track. Street racing kill innocent people.

Now that we got that out of the way are you taling about 0-60? 1000ft? 1/4mile? In the twisties?

We need to know more, but if you are street racing, it doesent even matter.

you have a 6 speed manual which basically gives you more control on all of you 197 horses, it doesnt matter if your friend has more power or not as long as you are skilled in shifting precisely, know exactly when to brake, and be faster in corners if you can drift :D

Well honestly my friend and I went at it with the same setup. him-lexus IS300, me-’06 SI. I pulled on him but it wasnt that bad but i did. And for those that don’t know they make the IS in a 5 sp.!

the lexus has more power, but also much more wieght and does not have sporty gearing. the si is also about a half second faster 0-60

0-60 Civic will win if the driver is good( Very close)
1/4 miles ES300 will win for sure (lots more torque)
