this is why i dont race, dont pretend to race, and dont say mar cars faster than anyone's...unless im just meesing with my friends or something. i love honda and will always own a honda because i like everything about them. if you think about it tho, they ar still pushing the itr technology from over 10 years ago. the itr was a beast when it came out. but now we have all those pocket rockets like the speed 3, srt-4, gti, cobalt ss(turbo), and the kings of the sport compact the evo and sti. with that said, the si is the worst out of all of those in performace. i dont think my car is fast at all. ive driven a 70 cuda and that car had more tourque than hp...thats just scary. ive also driven the new mazda speed 3...(wish i got one but i might not be here to tak about it) and absolutly was addicted to the power. but heres where my love for honda comes in...i know my car will last longer than any fi car. it just will. i also know the resale value on our cars is amazing. its just no surprise that a lighter car with equil power and more tourgue won. i mean the bad launch on the si was insulting. but it is what it is. the si woulda lost anyway. is the si fast? no. can it be fast? ofcorse. turbo si would be great...but as you can see with all the forementioned cars...i have the only one that isnt a turbo and thats because i want my car 10 years from now. but if i were taking a car to the track, theres a good chance it wouldnt even be a honda. dont know what it would be, but the si wouldnt be my choice. with all that said, is it a great car? yes and i love it. as far as a road car goes(price, resale, safety, performance, comfort, technology, gas milage, and reliability) i think its the best car(for me) out there and i wouldnt trade it(or race it) for anything.
