92 DX vs 92 SI
Hey just wondering
in a race who would win... 92 dx hb or a 92 si hb
i know there is a hb difference... but with a good driver in the dx would i be able to take him??

both are basically stock except for I/E (CAI for me)

I did a side by side hwy run with my friend in his 92 dx and it was a dead heat. Mind you we were both loaded the same, we both had 3 passengers.

I pulled him into the higher rpm a little but not anything to write home about.


Maybe off the line the vtec would do something but its all power to weight ratio.

Who knows.

i have a 93 Si hatch and i've never found a dx anything that could compete.... they have way less power (20+hp is a lot in hondas)... way longer gears.... mind you my car is quite light for a 5th gen....

i doubt that....

if a dx beats an Si then the driver of the Si should be driving a pinto and is a disgrace to honda

SI will win, given driver skill is similar.

CX and DX's have the same horse power in Canada. Only the states got an amazing 72hp CX haha

My Si was quick... I could take CX & DX hatches, as well as 96-02 Si coupes easily. The only engine mod my car had was an axle-back exhaust hehe

Man I miss that car...
