Gotta agree with the above post. The 2.0 Focus powershift has the best acceleration. Torque is way higher than the rest together with a twin clutch transmission gives really good acceleration.

Yeah, the current model isnt into the racing style anymore compared to the 2.0 civics before esp with the racing blue color. Anyways, since money isnt an issue......why not get the Lancer EX GT-A ? :hysterical: Is it waayy too out of the budget?Quote:

niky tama ka sa focus, kaso nakakaturnoff lang kc yung sikip ng interior, pero mas iseal nga sya pang drag...
mas magaan yung GLX kesa sa honda 2.0, anyways thanks 4 the comment, thanks sa lahat nakadecide nko sa lancer thanks po people
1385 ang curb weight ng gt-a mabigat
kung madami lang akong pera pang F1 na binili ko ehQuote:

kung i drag race mo yung car, wag kang bibili ng A/T. kung gusto mo bumili ka nalang ng 2nd hand M/T na FD 2.0S. or mag settle ka na nga sa Lancer GLX.. or kahit GT ok na ;)
+1 with the tdci. stock to stock its the fastest in its class as far as acceleration is concerned (mainly driven by its diesel torque and quicker- -than-manual shiftiing tranny). But it will surely get its heavy body left behind by the above mentioned cars in the top speed department.=)Quote:

Its says there 2009 2 liter FD. since its an 09 model its safe to assume its the 5 speed A/T unit. weight? comes in at 1295kg
As for the 2009 lancer ex, GLX stripped out models are confirmed to weigh in at 1290 kg and utilize a standard 5 speed stick tranny.
power is almost the same at 155ps. But the Mivec powered Lancer holds slightly higher pulling output at 199 newton meters of torque (FD only manages somewhere close to 189nm) -4b11 and K20 hit peak torque at 4.2k rpm
Tale of the Tape
Power: both at 155ps at 6k rpm
Torque: Lancer is up by roughly 10nm
Weight: Lancer is slightly better off by 5kgs
Transmissiion: -this category is subjective. In a conventional linear drag race, a manual always has the upper hand over a standard A/T (except dual-clutches units) On the other end, auto gearboxes make a lot more sense in a Time Bracket Drag Race as automatics generally provide more consistent time passes whereas driver missed shifts and shift time derivatives are more prominent in a stick tranny. Having said that, a dual clutch tranny is the best of both worlds.
Suspension: Well from the factory, the FD has stiffer settings than the GLX since MMPC altered the settings for their entry level sedan to prioritize comfort over sporty driving. (GT and GT-A models have diff setup)
Modification Capacity: This is the most critical factor in drag racing. Honda is the most embraced manufacturer by the aftermarket companies. Tuning possibiliities of a Civic is tremendous, or any Honda for that matter. Having said that, there is nothing much to elaborate here. Honda has this category wrapped up hands down.
So to sum it all up, though honestly I havent gotten a chance to race or even test both cars in a drag race setting, I firmly believe, stock to stock, the entry level spec Lancer GLX will outdrag the two liter FD A/T but not much really (a car length or two and a half at most by the time they get to the 1320ft mark).
However, if one is willing to put a lot of money to both cars, then the Lancer doesnt stand a chance. In a drag race, the Lancer will surely see the FD braking a lot earlier. In circuit racing, the EX probably wont see which way the civic went.
Having owned three forced inducted awd Mitsus, my heart definitely goes to the Lancer. But my brain cells say otherwise.
Hope this helps sir.. =)
thank you very much JB20689, now i'm really going for lancer:nod:
Kung ang lancer may kuyang evo x ano ang big brother ng civic? yun ba yung 2 door na US version? curious lang ako
