I'm coming home from downtown (not drinking) about 20 minutes ago. A new Civic Si with the paper plates whizzes by me and slows down. He doesn't honk, he just downshifts and tries to take off, so I downshift and completely demolish him from 50-100. I don't go over 100, so I shut it down and he blows by me. I'm about 5 miles from home and I can see him up in the distance. The thing is, he drives all the way to my neighborhood. He live 4 doors down. I'll post a pic up of the car, tomorrow.

I have a 2006 Si, so I know these things are dogs.

I too have shat on a local 2012 civic SI. He couldn't believe I payed $9,000 less for my car.

I (not personally, was a passenger) raced a 2012 si. In a 2000 si. Yesterday, I really expected a lot more out of the new ones... Friend has a 126hp whatever series honda motor that is? Haha. And the new one barely creeped by us.. Definetly not impressed with the new Civics.

? si coupe is like 160hp or so lol b16.

Bubman

And you're telling me this why? As I said, his car has 126hp. A 1.6 vtec.

cause a b16a2 isn't 126hp...........

Bubman

Apparently it isn't that motor?

Apparently that's the only motor that was in the 2000 si?

X2.

your thinking of an EX

Bubman

Maybe he through a different one in? It's not my car.. I didn't expect to go into great detail. All I know is its a 1.6 vtec 126hp. Hell, I could give him a text and ask how, when, where, why that motor is put into his car for. All I know is it's an si. (At least body-wise) and it has that motor. You can argue all day about it if you want I'm telling you what it is and what it got end of story.

EX and SI are similar EM1 body....either way, 126hp car with 2 people in it aint only getting beat by 1 car to a new si unless someone doesn't know how to drive. Sounds like it's a D16y8 in an ex with si body and badging like a ricer from what you say but like I said 126hp aint gonna keep up with a new SI...

No fanboi arguing on CSS.net.

Not a fanboy, give respect where it's due no matter what it is, just can't stand people that lie on the internet about stuff for no reason .

SSlobalt

Most people just don't know all the freaking Honda motor numbers, because they're so damn confusing. B16A2, B16A6, B16yourmama.........etc. I hate Honda, sometimes.

Haha yeah they got way too many variations but that's cause they were released everywhere with different laws and restrictions an junk. I don't know them all by heart or nothin just the major ones and 2000 si's have the best body style imo is why I know that one .

Bubman

I don't follow up on Hondas very much. But I'm going by what he says. Maybe you guys are right, I'm not the one to say. Regardless, 126hp vs 200 and a few, and he barely came by us.. Then looked over at us in a badass way as if he was the king of the road? You just creeped past a car 12 years older with 350 thousand more kilometres.. Probably bragging to his friends about it.

BlueStang

Good one another SI bits the dust. And of course the driver had to do a traditional Honda ricer fly by.

Cobalt_Daddy

yep .. nailed some young kid in a 2010 si a few months ago.. makes lots of noise but doesn't go very fast expected more from the 2012

2012's apparently are rated for 14.5 in qauarter? They are slugs thou with no torque. I've claimed many a new si with sad faces on them.

Dart_SI

lol. ive claimed plenty of them as well. even supercharged ones with cams. still not enough.

Bubman

I think I figured it out, this is what he said "In the us the Si is are sir and are Si Is there ex" probably clear up a bit of confusion.

no actually that makes 0 sense at all

Sunburst_SS

he is in Canada....in Canada the Civic Si is equal to our version of the EX, and our version of the Si is equal to their SiR
