Bone Stock It can hang with The SVT but will get beat out by a carlength in the 1/4...With mods it will eat you alive with a BAD driver!  EMIN: Run It And See...By The Way, is it auto or stick??
no vtec motor is mod friendly when it comes down to it.
in fact, they do a mod vs power thing in one of the import mags.
full exhaust and a cai on a civic netting 15whp, but lost some amount of torque.
they threw the same mods on a SE-R, and gained power thru the band.
yes I know the b18c1 is presently a better motor for modding but still.
you can slap a full exhaust and a cai on a civic si, and still have to drive the CRAP out of the car to beat a stock Celica GT-S.
its a whole 20 crank hp difference, yet with those mods the civic will struggle to beat it.
P2 91 tsi awd, not stock
P3 98 CSVT, stock
