My guess is, and it’s only a guess, that the ’06 G6, with its V6 might well give the new Si a run for its money—but only in a straight-line (drag-type) race. I’m pretty certain that on twisty roads, the 8th Gen Si would simply carve up the G6, have it for lunch, and, if it could talk, casually say: “Next?”

Very good review  but there is no way that the G6 could beat the SI maybe it can get close in a 0-20mph race thanks to his low end torque but in the other scenarios is impossible. It is almost 600 pounds heavier.
