2.4 vs 8th gen SI

well on my way back from school an 8th gen Civic SI rolles up next to me, this car is slammed and cambered out btw. and he gives me some weird hand signal lol but we ended up doing like a 40 roll and i got him by a car. i really thought the 8th gen civics were quicker than that dont they have like 200 hp? and this car wasnt stock, when vtec cracked it was extremely loud.

The Si's aren't particularly quick stock and I believe that they are pushing about 180ish WHP and 140 tq which is less than a stock SS SC.

I don't. I like automatics. More consistent if you take it to the track.
