Never Again!
A good way to really feel the difference is to accelerate hard up a steep hill. Torque will give you a bigger "push" while horsepower will be felt when a car is nearing redline on a flatter surface. The only time I ever played with an Si was when the G35 I own in addition to a FA5, was at a stoplight on a steep hill. The '06 FG2 nailed it, I nailed and I totally wasted the guy. BTW, my car was pure stock.

I have noticed that going up hills, my G35 is much stronger, but on a flat road surface, my Si in VTEC seems to pull harder at higher rpm's.
