We can just fight back by racing them and beating them. No worries.

 

That dude is a dumba$$. 19,000 for an SI? Why spend that for only 160 horses? Light or not, it only gets 0-60 in 7.8. For a few grand more you can get 0-60 in apx. 4.8 secs? Hmm. Sounds like a sound purchase to me.

And who do you know is going to spend the time to swap an RSX-s motor into their brand new SI? Besides where would you find a wrecked RSX-s? 95% of bone yards will laugh at you if you even mention the car because they dont and wont have one for the next 3 years. If you do find one, the cost of the motor is going to put the Civic into GT or possibly GT convertible cost ranges. <edited><editID>converted</editID><editDate>37778.666087963</editDate></edited>

 

The word quick or any other word with the definition of the like should not be placed on the same page,much less the same paragraph as stock civic si.Some people just live an their own little world with no grasp of reality?

 

Well, I must say I enjoyed that article! I guess Honda has "Eric Peters" working as a double agent, advertising and a writer. What's funny is how it really is a "crummy little economy car". But they're just trying to conform to the mainstream Fast and the Furious jerks with their coffee can exhausts and not much else.
