Re: Acura RSX or Honda Civic SI?
CIVICBOOST
Since you own a new civic Si, it is logical for you to say that the new model is faster than the old one. Sorry but it isnt. All the magazines have tested better number for the 99-00 si than the new one. While the new one makes 0-60 mph in 8.0 seconds, car and driver, 7.8 road and track and the 00 si makes it in 7.1 and 7.4. Quarter mile is 15.6 for the old one 16.0 for the new one. Im sorry but stock for stock the old one is faster, its the cruel reality. If we talk about doing mods, well the k series responds way better to mods and is more tunable. Simply look at the power to weight ratio, same horsepower but the coupe is lighter than the hatch, or minivan whatever. New Si owners, FACE IT, read magazines and comparisons. Stock the coupe wins the race. It is also proven in the street racing Stock for Stock.

Re: Re: Acura RSX or Honda Civic SI?
Actually man, The new Si like I have runs the quarter in 15.5 seconds stock. If you dont believe me go to ephatch.com or k-series.com for further proof there are a whole bunch of people that cant be wrong. The editors of Car & Driver are some fat fucks or cant drive because everyone I know can run at least a 15.5 stock. As of current my Si is equipped with I/E/H and the Hondata flash so I'm running 14.8-15.0 but that by all means is not fast either
In the next month or so I'm getting the RevHard Turbo kit which will bump me up to 260hp at the wheels and put me in the high 13's with shitty tires and thats been proven as well. You cant really go by what a magazine tells you because alot of magazine editors are biased, the best way to prove something is from real world experience. The new Si has more torque than the previous coupe and so far no Si coupe with the same mods has been able to beat me. The Type-S as someone stated is faster than the EP3 but thats nothing a turbo wont fix because Turbo for turbo the Ep3 will beat a Type S NA for NA The Si will lose I'm finished schooling you guys, class dismissed |

Re: Acura RSX or Honda Civic SI?
if ur askin type s or si.. then thats illogical.. type s has more horsepower and torque than the si and cost about another coupel thousand more.. if u were askin about base rsx vs a si. i'd say si.

Re: Acura RSX or Honda Civic SI?
Ok, everyone who owns a new Si is too afraid to accept it whatever. Car and driver fuckers cant driver, well if they cant drive they didnt test the 1999 si to its full potential. But the SAME FAT FUCKERS drove both cars and always got better numbers for the 6th gen version. Mmmm...weird...same people driving, better results with 1999 Si. Maybe they got TOO fat when they tested the new SI, that must be it. Its a great excuse.

There is something seriously the matter with Car & Driver, where did they test the EP3 Si on some high altitude track
like I said hundreds of people that run 15.5 stock cant be wrong. I dont bite into what magazines say, for instance in Import tuner a few months ago there was a power page on the Si. Did you see it? They slapped the car on a dyno and it made 150ish HP, while everyone knows that the EP3 Si dyno's in the area of 138HP at the wheels. Even if it was a chassis dyno the numbers were still wrong, because people that I know personally that used a chassis dyno still say those numbers were off by quite a bit. Magazines cant be wrong though huh? Just proving my point. I've raced 5 Si coupes, 2 while I was stock and they were stock= I won by a car length, and half a car length on the other guy 2 with the same mods as me, I/H/E= I won by 1.5 car lengths 1 with I/H/E, while I had I/H/E & Hondata= I won 3 car lengths Maybe they were bad drivers, but I've never been beat by a Civic that didnt have a swap or turbo. |

Re: Acura RSX or Honda Civic SI?
Well, yeah I guess it depends a little on the driver. But yeah lets leave it as a drivers race with a slight advantage to the old one. With same mods the advantage to the SI 03.
Or whatever.

Neither is a bad choice, you wont go wrong by choosing either one. I once asked a friend the same question and he told me to get a neon... So i beat his ass, dont make the same mistake.

I've been bit by the EVO bug, so I'm considering trading in my Si for it
But to the initial post of this thread, I'd say get the Si over Rsx base model for sure. If you end up getting the Rsx base, just stay away from that sportshift auto crap, the gearing is horrible for performance driving. Just my |

hmmm...well isnt this just a real tough choice for you...but personally for me, i would go with a teggy type-r (RSX type S), why exactly, because like the other guy was saying the 40hp difference and if you feel like playing around with some cash on your car, the RSX has a few more programable parts on it than the Si, but you have to know what your doing, and you can pull out an extra 15hp, then on top of that your aftermarket parts...thats quick hp right there...but thats just one mans opinion...do what you want with it...

my bad for being an ass. Either way, it's faster than my car.
