I don't want to keep arguing this, but even when one compares a GS-prepped Si and an HS-prepped LX, the LX turns out to be faster than the Si like 90+% of the times because of the attributes I mentioned earlier. Frankly if the Si had a better LSD, and I literally mean a Quaife with at least a 50-60% lockup, the car would be a
significantly better autocrosser than it is right now off the showroom floor. If the Si had no sunroof in addition to that Quaife LSD, lets say that I may very well have an Si today and I would have gotten that car to work for me in GS... But it doesn't, and it gets demolished in GS by the MINI Cooper S and therefore I knew, even before the cars were introduced in September 2005, that the LX would be the better autocrosser in Stock class form.
And you know what, I am
sincerely having a lot of fun with the LX and I get almost 40mpg on the highway to boot!
