T-sport Vs. Civic..

[eternity575]

had a little argument with my cousin, as my corolla wouldnt let a civic go, i assum the t-sport will triumph in a situation like that..

what do u think yarisheads? l;ol

[Chuck04]

all depends on the situation ur in and the driver ie ur gear changes, for a 1.8 ur looking at 0-60 of ruff 8 sec, txt book that is, second quicker than the t sport, 1.6 civic pumps out 10 sec, ur gonna also want to have a look at the torque for each car aswell, should b fun trying to find out!!

[eternity575]

most of the civics here in israel are 1.6 ...

so i guess.. lol

[Chuck04]

Wicked well put it to the test somtime, not that im trying to get u to street race or anything as thats bad !! no seriously it can b,

[SuperRetard]

well... any of the sportier civics would annhilate the T-pot. 160bhp for the 1.6 Vtec... 150bhp for 1.5 if I remember right!

Also, they've got proper rear suspension. Not that I'm about to buy one tho'! :o

The Civic is much heavier than the yaris tho. The only Civic that can beat the Yaris TS is the 2.0l version (Type S (8.5) and Type R(6.6)). I pulled those figures from the UK Honda site.

[Nizan]

you probably stick with or even beat the Type S, as 0-60 figures dont mean much in a real world situation

[Yarisboy]

don't ever trust manufacturers 0-60 figures as a bench mark for how fast a car is :)

the yaris is a very light car with over 100bhp!

It depends on the tyres you've got as well as to how effectively you will put your horse power down.

what he said

[s0cks]

Some very fast Civic's out there. Of the newer type the Type-S will be a tough one to beat, its got a lot of horsepower and grunt so it will probably fly through the gears effortlessly - although don't quote me on that.

The Yaris has quite a small engine - its just pushing a light car - so it probably won't be as good when pushing it at higher speeds (i.e. putting your foot down at 60 or 70). Again, thats just how I view it. But! on a straight line I can't see why you couldn't give it a run for its money - it would be so close.

The Type-R - lets not go there. As for the rest of the Civc's - you should, and will beat them. Do not expect to blitz them tho. The 1.6 may do 0-60 in 10 or 10.5, but thats only 1 measly second slower - he'll be on your tail, athough you will slowly pull away.

Out of experience I would say anything that does 0-60 between 10.5 and 8 is pretty evenly matched. Its just up to the driver and the power of the car's engine through the rev range.

Very true! Not that long ago I raced a Civic Type R off the lights in my Civic 1.8 VTi (169bhp 8secs book 0-60 with K&N induction and sebring exhaust) and only after about 100m did he start pulling away slowly.

[starletsr]

Alright there yarisheads!! My mates got a 1.6 VTi Vtec civic 160bhp, he has done 0-60mph in 7.2 seconds... it all depends on what civic the yaris is going against.

Little bro of my (soon-to-be) ex-civic! I always thought it was faster than the book speed! :D Although my sub box in the boot (weighed in at 5st 3lb!) prob slowed me down!

[jerry phipps]

Personally i wouldn't fancy my chances against a civic type s sorry guys The civic would eat you for breakfast and thats in 2nd gear m8. I love my car to bits but i cant see it taking on a car with 160bhp 2.0 16v Let be serious guys

jerry!!

[Yarisboy]

fair point jerry - got to know your limits :)

[starletsr]

Think you should try to stick with racing the new Saxo VTRs or VTS, that's more on the line for the yaris TS, if racing against a civic, try it against a Civic 1.4 EK.

[SuperRetard]

it's all in the corners for me! even my old Cinq Sporting can smoke my 1.3 to 40 away from the lights... RUBBISH gearing on the Yaris... tooooooo tall! Economy sucks! I want thrust all through the range!

(thrust=torque/drive ratio) it's the amount of oooomph available at the contact patch of your tyre...

mmmmmmm give me 12 months ill hunt them 'ittle civics down

[starletsr]

Well the civic 1.6 and type R was beaten by the Turbo 2.0ltr Nova, but that aint fair is it? Standard cars against a Nova that isn't standard.
