what's your point? for all you know my car might look 100 times better than yours! not just cuz I have a civic and you have a Z you can assume that yours automatically look better.. people have different tastes you know..

To prove the point, try to out accelerate something to give you relative speed such as passing on the highway. It is then you really can tell it has the power, its just a bit too smooth to feel powerful. This is part of why people usually love turbo's even if the ultimate power delivery is low, when they surge on boost, it feels much faster than it is.
One big thing you should notice between your Si and the Z is highway cruising.
EDIT: I should add it is also a very tall geared car, especially in 2nd which is as tall as a C5 Z06 with 130 less torque.
