My good buddy just got a 1988 Acura Integra LS. "OK cool" I thought "now he has a rice rocket to replace the Pontiac we exploded some time ago" Well on the way home we held our own impromptu "Gran Prix de StopLight" and that little 12 year old Acura was quick. I beat him sure...but only by a car length and its not like a can't drive my car fast straight (yes, it's a 5 speed). The Integra (also a 5 speed) is still stock (well, not for long..but it was last night).

So any thoughts ono the matter?

As a bonus we both got pulled over for exhibition of speed (never exceeded the speed limit). The cop followed us through 3 seperate lights as we spun the tires through each intersection. <img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle> He says "I was gonna let you guys go...but you had to go a third time...didn't ya??" He still let us off with a warning, since we explained the Acura was "new" and we were just having fun/ testing it <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> <---that's the way we looked too.

Anyway...

Well, like I said they're both 5 speeds. The engine specs were listed by someone else already. The Integra weighs about 300 pounds less then the tib. It was close enough to make me think. Like you guys said, in a longer race I'm sure the Tib would prevail. We G-teched the Integra last night. 0-60 in 8.7 1/4 16.8
My tib was doin' 0-60 7.5 and a 15.9 1/4 ...seems close to me ....go figure. <img src=icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>
