Si spotted in Dupont Registry

I was looking through the pages of the Dupont Registry's "Exotic Car Buyers Guide" and I came across our very own Civic Si.Although it was located on one of the last pages under the title "Exotic Performance for less" it was still in there.


"Bang for your buck doesnt come mush more explosive than this.For a base price of $20,750,the all-new Civic Si coomes armed with a 197-bhp shrieking i-Vtec four banger, which revs all the way to 7,800rpm and hauls to 60 from a stansstill in 6.3 seconds.But its the way the Si lays down the power that will have your fingers tingling.With laser-precise steering, bags of grip from 215/45 17 -inch Michelins, and a chasis thats as rigid as a safecrackers crowbar,this horny Honda carves curves like its running on invisible rails.As for the dreaded torque steer, The Si's front linited slip diff puts down the power without fuss --its good for almost 0.9g on the skid pan.Thankfully,the honda doesnt scream about its handling prowess; its dressed up in Friday casual with only the small rear wing and the ten-spoke alloys to distinguish it from regular Civic coupes"

sorry it was so long I was just bored so I typed it all out.

I never thought of my Si as an exotic. Look there's trucks in it too.

It says exotic performance for less, not that it's an exotic.

I can't tell what the other page says but it isn't the same as the top of the right page.

On topic: Nice find, op. +1 rep to you
