REGARDLESS, I own both an SI and an LX and to compare the two in handling is a friggen joke, I'm sorry. The base civic just wasn't meant to be tossed around like the SI is, and it clearly shows when you drive the two.

On your first point, go autocross next season. Please. End of discussion.
On your second point, right off the showroom floor, the Si is a more entertaining daily driver compared to the LX at 5/10 to 7/10... And it had better be, it is an Si after all, Honda needs to justify that to 99% of the buying public. However, push either beyond 7/10 and you'll see that Honda's insurance guys won the war... That's where shocks, a race alignment, and R-compounds come into play, and that's where the Si loses its advantage.
