Yea... the GTP is def a sleeper, and very easily upgradeable... i also agree with that guy talkin bout the Si bein over priced and over rated... i guess there's a lot of 17 year old idiots out there who don't bother to do a little basic research before they spend dady's 20k.

heh actually the price is incredibly inflated now, its more like 34k, pathetic. its because of the F&F movies...

that makes sense with the Si being FWD and slightly more hp. so basically its not as bad from a roll, but is nothing special from a dig.

The hp rating on the Si is impressive at first glance but, c'mon, my fiancee's 04 Sunfire has more torque.

haha... i'm a little dissapointed in honda, they could have done much better than what they have done. But once again, you cannot take an N/A 4 banger (even a v-tec) and expect the impossible. Sure there are some quicker N/A cars (v-tec preludes come to mind... type-r's) but these cars still arn't gonna be able to hang with boosted or v8's untill you put some serious cash into them. Moral of the story: If you want a powerful 4 cylinder, you have to use boost, no way around it, and untill honda decides to do that, they'll keep on putting out 15 second sprots cars (only axception i can think of is the rsx type s and that's still nothing to write home about)
