They were looking for a nice even number. But in any case, I'd expect the Si to pull a 14.3-14.5 with just a Hondata adjustment. Will be nice to see some 12 second times though.
What if they wanted to not totally dethrone the RSX by having it be equal in HP? Just a thought. Obviously the Si is better in handling and has LSD etc, but if it also had as good or better numbers than the S, it'd be hard to sell the rest of the Type Ss out there.
