it all depends.. closer ratio = lower speed on the gear = higher accelaration..

 

which also means u need to change more gears to reach the speed..

 

closer ratio shud be faster (theory wise)

 

but if ur hand kena lan.. duno how to shift.. of course u'll be slower.. [sly][:p]

I was driving behind either a black Vios or Corrolla entering the ECP from the TPE at Changi side....driver of the toyota took off quite quickly entering the ECP, must of driven his car really hard, because all I could smell in the cabin of my car was a tinge of burning engine fumes, you know the type of smell you get when a car engine is being thrashed.

 

Anyway, this guy drove upto I think 140, I only know this cause I was right behind him until I thought "dont be such a dickhead, you could end up losing your license and end up taking the MRT to work" so I backed off of a bit and let him go.

 

Late caught up with him due to the slow traffic and teased him a bit by zooming quickly toward him, I could see he was edging to get away..got to admit though, it was fun teasing him, everytime I zoomed behind him I could smell his buring engine being thrashed, he turned off towards Suntec and I carried straight on.... I'll give his corrolla engine a few months before it starts smoking.

 

p.s. I drive a Airtrek Turbo.

 

Cant believe the prat even bothered trying to race me....besides anyone can drive fast in a straight line....did you know that Corrolla and Vios are driven by old retired people in other countries....muuuuahahah

if your trying to compare then 0-60pmh is only part of the story, theres also mid range e.g. 50 - 70 blah blah blah... sorry, no comparison. [:p]

on paper specs,i already guess the civic will win....

but maybe the guy did a great launch...that's why his ahead intitally...

 

I saw on the recent CarBuyer's and a couple of websites that the Civic can do a 100kmh sprint in 10.2s, is that really true? If that's the case, its really amazing for a 1.8l car, it beats quite a few 2.0l cars. And apparently the 2.0Si can do the sprint in 9.2s, even faster than a GSR... (PS. I'm talking about their auto specs, not manual)

 

 

iam not very sure abt the new civic specs and timing...

only know that the 1.8litre one have 140 bhp....

but i think 1.8litre also got diff range if iam not wrong...

not very sure with the 2litre model....

yah....close ratio helps alot in pick up...

can even wheel spin at 2nd gear....

but if play for long distance,it will lose out...cos the top speed will be reduced....

but in singapore,close ratio is one of the best mod..... [lipsrsealed]

u r doing the right thing by backing off....

just let him go ahead and tell his fren that he smoked an ATR.... [laugh]
