    How far are you away from the nearest drag strip? If you can beat him, get the timeslip to prove it :D

    you 'should' beat him. power vs power.
    Depends on how good a driver you and him are. a lot of it is in the launch.
    as said before, take it to the drag strip and find out.

    Type R integra's are a quick car - almost 200hp stock, not much more than 1200kg, rev to 8500rpm, does the quarter in a shade over 15 seconds. If he has an exhaust and pod filter, and can drive, I wouldn't be surprised if he does high 14's - which I think would beat most NA z's. Go to the drags and see

    I wouldn't get too cocky about winning the race dude you will probably get a nasty surprise ..... but all that aside who cares if he can beat you it's still a Honda LOL!!
    They may be fast (some models if prepared correctly) but they just don't have the soul of a rear wheel drive sports car.

    IMO Honda = loose all possible ten points straight away unless it's a nice S2000

    Depending on condition of both the cars i would put my money on the Honda! As much as i don't like to think that, the type R's are pretty quick

    TT hands down. NA.....maybe. :eek: V-TEC isn't slow, but not fast and all that powerful either. I reckon it would make for a pretty good race.

    Whoops, i missed that it's actually the Type-R. Hmm, that could be a bit closer then to an NA Zed. :eek:

    I bet the Honda. Even if it's too close to estimate, then you lose. Your driving the faster looking car that can't beat a normal car. Na Z, hondas, Standard fords or commadores. All the same speed.

    Even if he gets 14.9 over your 15.0 then you prove u both drive slow cars.

    well with those mods, estimating, it would put the honda somewhere around 230+bhp + 230nm (???)and the zed (if in great condition) 235+bhp + 280nm

    power to weight and driver ability will play a roll in this...it would be a close race and as the integra is 200+kgs lighter, i would say it MIGHT just win....but then again, you have more torque (but more weight to move)

    Or an NSX, nothing wrong with them at all.

    I do agree in general though, Honda make some pretty decent engines and such but tend to want to ruin it all by putting them in front wheel drive cars.

    With a few exceptions (NSX, S2000 and some old stuff like S800s) that is very true.

    the Type-R would win hands down, you'd run a mid 15, he'd run a low 14
