07 SS\SC vs 2013 civic SI
Buddy of mine bought the car a few months back, and has been bugging me for awhile to race. I ran into him on the highway one night and we proceeded to do a few runs. One was 2nd gear at about 85km which I pulled about 2 car lengths right away and kept pulling away. And 3rd gear at 110-115km which we were even until 125 ish and I pulled away. I let out of it when I figured I was far enough ahead to prove a point.
The new ones are faster then the k20 versions. But nothing worth mentioning. My car has the air box mod, cut out resonator and borla muffler.
He was pretty shocked I bet him as bad as I did, I just told him don't believe all that the salesman tell you about the SI's being a "rocket"

i dont get why honda is so behind in the sport compact market. they NEED to make a turbo motor. everyone else is doing it, hondas known for making good MPG motors, and a turbo would only help that. they are doing pretty good in every aspect besides... go go juice

The day Honda makes a turbo civic....fanboys heads will explode. There will be mobs at the dealerships. The cars will sell for double the retail sticker. Become an instant collectors car. And most importantly, the famous saying "It's got a Vtec yo" will now become "It's a Turbo yo".
Will they ever do it???? Silly Honda

2015 Honda Civic Type R Will Have at Least 270 HP (from Auotevolution)
been reading a few articles abotu the 2015 civic, its been rumoured to be turbo'd,
i think it was because the cruze curb stomped wtcc 2012
and give credit where credit is due we wouldnt have SS cobalts if it wasnt for the SRT4 neon, and we wouldnt of had the srt4 if japanese 4 cylinders didnt dominate small car preformance since the 90s
and when it comes down to it, we all know brands mean nothing unless your getting corporate sponsorship. any car, with any engine can be a monster with the right parts.
honda engineers some extremely well balanced 4 cylinders. there is a reason why you can spin a honda above 10k, and not our engines.
Can you immagine what kind of **** power a 2.0L ecotec would make if it wasnt getting air rammed down it through a super/turbo?
honda is a fantastic company, unfortunately my brain cant think about honda without instanly thinking of vtec ricer fanboys

I just dont think honda cares about performance. The si sells fine like it is so why bother spending money to upgrade it? The dropped the turbo 4 ib the rdx for their v6. It made more power and got better mileage ratings which they do seem to care about.

Sorry to raise an old thread from the dead, but Honda's first turbo was the Legend in 1988, though only available for 2 years in Japan. It never made it to the US because the 2nd generation Legend was introduced. A lot of the technology from that 2.5L (c25a) Turbo was used to develop the NSX's (c30a) engine.

K20s aren't even that fast, got a buddy with a k20 swap in an 06 si and I wreck him every time. He's on bolt ons, Honda's chipped/tuned and I've got a cai and exhaust. Stomp him, vtec is overrated lol

I drive an 09 si at least once a week... they are not fast. though I will give credit where credit is due... they are well built. The fit and finish is miles ahead of a cobalt. 8k redline is nice too. not a bad car, but unless you have tons of money to spend... I would never own one for speed
lmao i was thinking the same thing

ehh for the most part they arent but they know damn well that a good portion of their customers are people trying to go fast. and they sell cars with body kits, 'si' badges and 'vtec' stickers to make the customer feel like they are buying a quick car.
