Yeah, despite the increase in displacement in the EP hatches, the 1.6l cars are a few tenths faster in the 1/4. Stock for stock though, I still don't think they'd be able to catch a 2.4 ss. Maybe from a roll, but they're gutless out of the hole. They put less than 100 lb-ft of tq to the ground, and it takes a while to get even that high. 
These days though, you're probably more likely to find a stock SRT Neon than you will the Si. Just ran into a guy a couple days ago with a '98 4-door Civic that looks stock with a fart can on the outside, but he's hiding an h22 under the hood. I'm sure he's taken a few people by surprise.
