That's a clean Si if I've ever seen one. Could be a sleeper for sure, but I don't know if those mods really produce a significant gain... I definitely think the Si beats the Z as a daily driver in general, but it's really all you want in a car that matters.

Yeah, all the hondas before the body change have thousands of parts. It's also pretty likely it's due to the OBD2 and CANBUS that newer cars have. Maybe you're not looking in the right places, but I don't know civics too well in general.

Dang. That's some sacrifice. Why sell your gixxer? I would keep the bike, maybe sell the car.

I think a lot of people agree that the Civic is an excellent entry level car, but is anyone finding it somewhat peculiar that there seems to be a lot of Honda Civic owners on this forum?

ya they def make a dif. i test drove a stock si just to see the dif and omg a stock one felt so slow. its not as fast as a 370z but it def gets up and goes. handling wise it will outhandle the 370z all day long. i know this cuz i drove 2 of em. the 370z is fast but a little too loose around the turns. it tends to feel like a hoopdy when you push it hard around the corners. im not putting the 370z down but it def needs improvement in the handling dept. i was going to buy a 370z but for 38k i expect some better handling and i just cant give up my vtec crossover feeling. about the synchro rev match, love it, wish my car had that.

I blame my buddy who encouraged me to join your forums. I'm also a member of 350z, s2ki, zilvia, evolutionm, rx7club, and a bunch of other car forums as well, so it just can't be helped.
