00+ GT-S vs 03+ CIVIC SI

[krnboy817]

okok i have heard celi were faster than the si and people say IVTEC just lacks ass... but i find it very different from experience of going up against one the other day. I find it my SI is way better than a VVTI GT-S What you guys think?

I think teh GTS will spank da minivan y0!

[Beastiek2]

6 speed right

[civicHBsi91]

gts with good driver will spank an si with good drivery all day long

[mycivic]

GT-S will own Si. GT-S is 200-300 pounds lighter than Si and has more power.

[Ricochet]

03 Si's run mid/low 16's, GTS's run mid 15's.

i guess with a good driver and pretty much same class car... its the driver that it all comes down to ... but ... just on performance... well i dont know... GTS isnt that impressive... and SI... well... it may look slow but... the turtle did win over the rabbit after all didnt it?

[mycivic]

GT-S

180 hp @ 7,600 rpm
130 lb.-ft. @ 6,800 rpm
Curb weight(lbs.) 2,500/2,580(Action Package)

Si

160 hp @ 6500
132 lb.-ft. @ 5000
Curb Weight (lbs.) 2782

Equal Driver...GT-S will still own the Si.

Those aren't their stock Honda-stated times or whatever, but 4 guys ran the same
stock one in the new Super Street and ranged from 16.0 to 16.6

You know whats funny, 16.6 .... a 95 civic EX runs a 16.8... lol

its funny, i've read many things saying the the '99 and '00 si performed much better all around than the new si, plus the older one looks nicer. honestly though, if the gts was an auto(which they do come in) then the si would win. even tho the gts has 20 more hp, a bad launch with the 6 speed will definetly hand over the race.

hey hey, i came across one last night. my 99 si vs a gts (i dont know what year, it just had the big red oem wing and the gts logo). 4 runs stop light to ramp, ramp to freeway, and two freeway runs. me - 4, gts - 0. thats with my jrsc though. only thing that sucked with the runs were that i gave the guy a thumbs up, and he give me the middle finger. trying to give the guy props and he flips me off. and i didnt even wanted to race him in the first place

oh ya, and that was the first time i seen a gts with smoked lights. i kinda liked it. i thought it was kinda purdee.
