Never said the Civic was "uneconomical".
 
its more impressive for it to take such a hit, and still be way on top.
 
Well, every mfg took a hit, not just Honda

Hehe... it's my first Honda... and while I'm not exactly a spring chicken anymore, I thought it was funny, as this dork was revving it like some kind of Carrera or something, I just had to... I did say it was childish

who the guy in the rabbit? or one of the other ones?
 
i must say i would never do such a thing, seeing as how my rabbit is only slightly quicker than my old 06 ex,
 
...funny thing is, i've seen numbers for manual tranmission ex's and 4 door si's and they are not to far apart...
 
(7.7, 7.1) at least thats not HUGE to me...i dunno, have you ever timed yourself iomatic?

The power advantage is seen over 60mph in the Si vs the EX, LX etc....remember, torque gets you going, and neither really have any. Once you are at a higher speed, the HP takes over. That is where you will see the difference.

oh yes i totally know that...but on both cars have engines that have this style of power delivery, one just has a lot more than the other.
 
having said that, i figured the difference would be bigger, it just does not look like it, although i'm sure if feels like it. I averaged about high 8's low 9's with my old civic, but it was an auto.

Sure feels like it; and though I know the advantages of the Honda platform, my Si is plenty riced-out.

Meant to say, stock: it's riced-out enough for me.

phew! thats cool...i think that the si is agreat car despite the fact that i think honda knew it was pitching it to a crowd who would want to tune it up.
 
i remember when i had my ex four door, one of the things my friends told me was that it looked sportier than any civic they had ever seen...sportier than the previous si hatchback (which was easy to understand.), but it didn't ooze 'put a muffler on me!' and that most kids would be disuaded from doing so.
 
having said that, even though its still to a lesser extent, you do still see people trying to 'rice' it up; leaving my work the other day, a girl drving an otherwise nice 2 door ralley red si stopped and had 18 or 19 inch chrome rims.
 
she saw me looking at her car and i made it strongly apparent that i did not agree!
 
she looked a bit flustered, as would anyone who thinks thats a smart thing to do.
