I love my Focus, But now I have the question in my Head... Can i beat a:

-Civic DOHC si?
-RSX?
Mazda Speed?

I Have a CAI,FC TB and a FK Suspension Kit.

Let me know, Also What else should i do before Winter hits?

civic si's aren't dohc.. SIR on the other hand is.. so the lowest rated dohc civic is an sir at 160hp 111lbs torque, and newer ones at 160hp and 130lbs .. unless you mean a delsol si that used to have a dohc engien.. i have raced both Sir and failed.. i heard the newer ones are slower than the 6gen but still the 7gen just seemed like the guy was just playing with me.. you can see my mods in my sig.. best now for me is 15.9x but only did 2 passes..

rsx all have vtec too and about 11lbs more torque than the new Sir.. ive seen one do 15.4 stock.. and have also lost pretty miserably to this one hehe :P

mazdaspeed well i have to say, they are pretty peppy.. but i have never raced one (drag).. but i have raced 2 of them on race track and i could pretty much keep up with one of them all day.. he would take a little advantage on the straight (but not that much) and then id get back to him on the curves.. but i think he just didn't push his car as much caus the other one was alot faster, and i had trouble keeping up.. maybe he had more boost or maybe he just drove better than the other one.. but i would think that at that HP rating, they would win pretty easily..

and i dont know who you guys race but they need driving lessons.. stock for stock, i would do better numbers in an Sir, and RSX and a Mazdaspeed than i would anyday with my focus even with the small mods.. i have beaten a celica gts more than once on the track yet i am positive that if I were behind that wheel.. i would kill my focus times anyday hehe.. i would not consider this a drivers race..

anyway i would not consider myself the best driver around but i know how to drive my car, have yet to see anyone beat the 16.198 in stock form with bald factory tires..of course everyone here is going to come and say they all did better haha.. not the point, i just mean that i do not do 17.x with the stock car.. and i dont believe you can beat them cars unless their drivers really suck..
