RE: Me vs 06 Civic Si
The only reason they are 197 now instead of 210 is due to the new rating standards i thought.
just about every imported car's hp numbers went down when they started rating them SAE.

Never mind the the "lower brand" Honda Civic Si gets navigation and the lsd standerd while the "higher brand" and priced about 4k more Acura RSX type-S doesn't...grrrr, no wonder Hondas rumored to be killing the RSX from the Acura lineup.

I did 15.5 at 89 driving my friends 06 SI at the track. You have to drive it like you stole it to get anything out of it, having no torque sure does suck..if u are out of the vtech zone it feels like your hauling a trailer,lol.

197 actually, I had a k20a2 RSX-S and that is basically the same engine as the k20z3 the Si uses, but you're right in that the i-vtec mechanism gives a nice boot in proformance when it hits at 5500, and they're light, but the no tourque because of the small n/a engine, and fwd, really inhibits them. The new Si does have an lsd, which the RSX didn't, so that helps the launch a little.

the SI has 210hp at the crank.. the only thing he lacks on us is torque.. but i give vtec its credit (i -vtec in his case) its like a small boost above a certain rpm
