depends on what mods you have mate.
magnas are quick. if u can run a 15.5 you will be able to keep up with him

Doubt it, the Magna should beat you , short gearing, little drivetrain loss, nice gearbox and a revvy 3.5 (with around 155kw) will smoke you, even in Manual. EA 3.9 MPFI manuals are fast but it just wont be enough.
You should be the integra easily though.

i cried one night when i only had exhaust and extractors....
Literally cried. They are light, and quick. They dont look it, hoons dont drive em, but they beat most stock commos and earlier falcs.

Well ive driven three 3rd gen magna's and all of them were reasonably quick. I must admit i havent driven a Magna manual, but have driven a '01 TJ Magna Wagon (4sp trippy) and it felt reasonably fast and the '02 TJ sedan i drove was a bloody weapon.
Now if the magna was a 3.0l auto or manual id expect you to beat it but the 3.5's are quick and in manual form i dont like your odds. *Just did a check of Redbook and the 3.5 TH has 147kw and 300nm of torque in a 1490kg body- so there light buggers and they respond well to exhausts

Can say from experience that my EB, Man Wgn used to eat up 3.5l Magna's daily. I had quite a few mates with them for company cars and we played plenty. This question has been raised quite a few times and once I thought I'd get together the spces from the 4 & 6 cyl Magna's and also from the EB. I didn't post the info cause it was detrimental to my point that the right E series was a quick thing in the right hands lol. I might add that my wagon, allthough stock, was always a big eye opener from people who assumed it would be slow. Alway's got the comment that it must have been built on a Wednesday too! Man I loved that car!

Mate has a 1999 Mits Vereda V6 and it beats my 1995 Ford EF Fairmont - both stock except for lowered and sports suspension
It also keeps up with my old man's 2002 Nissan Maxima Now the Maxima is a weapen in stock form but his Vereda is keep up I dont think you have a chance against it even if its a Wagon

Sorry to say it..
The Magna would be heaps quicker.. Never driven a Manual Magma either, but the Autp's are very revv'y & light.

I am not trying to stir the pot here guy, But why is it that if the Magna is as quick as you are say it, why does it have such little respect.

If ya EA motor is in good nick and still got decent compression i would say it would be close. 5spd manual EA with a strong motor are pretty quick in stock form. 15.5 down the quarter, although you would be hard pressed finding a stock one putting out those times now since there 18years old.

I beat my mates 00 magna off the lights the other day in an ED 4.0L on gas, only cause it was wet and he couldn't get traction though, wheels were spinning till 3rd gear change.
they are quick cars, but off the line they suffer from too much wheelspin. |

I had a 00' TJ magna dumped on 17 inch prowlers with 2.5" cat back system and running firestone tyres.
Hit the peddle one saturday night in hindly street and bent a drive shaft which in turn damaged the trans. Sold that straight away. But they are pretty quick |

Hmm I'm gonna go with the Magna on this one but I do hate Magnas. BTW they lose respect mostly because they're FWD pieces of ИИИИ.
My cousin's EB wagon has been proven on a number of occasions to be significantly faster than a VT Commodore. The guy was not happy. Three runs and three times he loses in his dunnydore which sounded a lot like someone throwing cutlery into garbage disposal unit.
