The official 2006 Honda Civic Si 1/4mi and 0-60mph times are as follows:

1/[email protected] :driving:

Slalom is [email protected] (i think this is correct on the slalom, i can't remember exactly)

-CK

where are u getting this info? and that slalom is definitely wrong

 

[SiTuner06]

I said I knew the slalom was probably wrong, the slalom you can take is at 51mph, but I don't remember the g's. I got my info directly from Honda. :hail: me

So when exactly is the Si coming to dealers?

no date has been officially released by honda. It will come out sometime after the sema show in November. Some dealers have told me it COULD be as late as January, but I doubt this highly.

 

[napalm2k5]

oh..im thinking about trading in my prelude that ive had for 5 months for the new civic si...i thought i read somewhere about it coming out in december or something

 

[webby]

it could be in november, december, ............. no one knows. The Sema show unveiling is Nov 1st through the 4th. I think honda will release an official date after the show.

Does anyone think trading a 2001 EBP Prelude in for the Civic Si would be a bad choice?...I owe 12k on it now and I believe I can get 13k for the car and if the Civic cost 20k that means I'll only owe the dealership 7k plus a brand new car...whats your thoughts?

 

[webby]

I'm confused- you owe 12 on it, but you can get 13k for it?

That would mean you'd walk away with 1k in your pocket. On a 20k car, you'd owe the dealer 19k. Am I reading your thing wrong?

 

[napalm2k5]

Well damn I didn't think of it like that..yeah that makes sense...i figure if i traded it in, I'd get around 13k or so for my car but that would be just giving the money back to the dealership that I already owe them so that isn't going towards a new car so I'd owe 19k....that sucks...guess ill just have to keep my prelude, but oh well my prelude is just as fast as the civic si just not as new

 

[webby]

sorry :banghead:

 

[napalm2k5]

yeah thanks to you, you ruined my hopes of getting a brand new civic...lol j/p

I got my info directly from Honda.
I still don't understand, are you in a position that honda calls you with their test data, or what? And a 51mph slalom is terrible based on most magazine tests, but maybe they did it differently.

 

[mcpaige]

ha ha! damn wish it worked that way...napalm2k5

I'll pay cash for two Si's at a going price of 7K...

 

[SiTuner06]

I got my info from the guy that sells me my Honda, he went to a seminar in Dallas, and that is the information that is given to them to hand out to people like me, understand??

The nationwide release date on the Civic SI is 12/1. You can expect first deliveries to take place sometime around new year's...but get ready to wait in line. Our dealership has stopped taking orders on the civic ima's and the SI's....because of the crazy demand. We're gonna let them hit the showroon floor and let all hell break loose hnoes:

Anyways, I'm new here guys! Anyone around the Rockville, MD area here?

 

[honda93]

I most certainly hope the thing gets to 60 faster than that, which it probably will once the magazines really flog them, because my decision to get the LX Coupe over the Si just got better!

 

[napalm2k5]

yeah would someone mind giving me 50k so i can pay off my prelude and buy a civic si, supe both them up and pay off insurance for a couple months?

As far as I can tell these are still Honda's numbers, and manufacturer's numbers are usually very conservative. I'm hoping that "real world" Si's can get into the 14s in the quarter. :driving:
