agreed

i agree with the above post the camaro will sound better but the new si civics are tuned so well it would probably win. But i think it would be a good match. I have raced one or 2 si civics in my day and i seeme to beat almost all older ones but any new ones is a rough race ussually u come out in back

i doubt that you would beat an older one unless he couldnt drive. Simple power to weight ratio, 2000 civic weighs 2600, camaro weighs 3250 plus your subs(read other posts ) both cars making 160hp, that little 4cyl makes its power up high but the civic should almost always beat a 3.4, no replacement for displacement except less weight . back to the original question, yes the 07 will win, similar situation the si just weighs less. BTW dont look at my name, im not saying this because i like hondas, i ride a cbr

I'm gonna say the Camaro for $hits and giggles. 200 horses for the V6 ain't bad, right?

Tha camaro got that one. I hope.

The 07 civic has more power and better setup all around than the 10 year older Camaro. Im done talking about a Camaro gettin whooped now. So lets see. The si is top of the lone honda. How bout a 97 z28 with the ls1 goodbye any stock honda

Sorry guys, the Si would win.

3.8 = 200 hp - 3,200
K20 = 197 hp - 2,866 lbs

Add to that 10+ years of wear plus the Civic's top end.

B16, different story, nod to the 3.8L.
