I think what they are saying is that around an auto-x course a properly set up lx could take an Si 90% of the time. It is understandable, because in auto-x you would be taking turns below 20mph at times. 20mph in an Si would be a little below 3000rpm in 2nd gear. An lx weighs 225 pounds less than the Si and has similar tourqe at that rpm, so................ the Si really cannot utilize its huge power advantage on such a tight course, because the powerband does not allow it. Now if it were on a road course, the Si would eat the lx for breakfast. That is what I have gotten out of this 10 page thread. High rev, or honda 93 correct me if I am wrong. However I would still take my Si
