New Civic Si dyno in at just under 190 fwhp?
I have seen some new dynos of the Si and it looks like they get more power to the wheels then our cars. eek :Eyecrazy:
|
And it weighs less than the 8.....
|
Don't worry, I drove one and it's slower then the 8.
|
...and its a Honda.
|
...and body roll is huge.
|
The Si only puts out 197 at the crank. Dynos are not always accurate and should only be used as starting point for mods on your car. I do like the looks of the Civic. Alot of car for the money.

Go test drive one. You won't feel any confidence at all in the corners. |

maybe, I didn't check the tires that were on there. I was actually dissapointed with the power more then anything. I thought it would pull harder then it did. Also, ever since honda gave up on the double wishbone setup, I just don't feel comfortable cornering in these fwd cars. |
A friend of mine at work just got his and let me take to the airport about an hour ride so i had a few miles to work with. it's not as fast as a stock mt8 but i have to say great car! and you know it will be easy to make very fast.

Another Honda brand trait... 99% of their cars are FWD. :puke: |

And besides, they are putting the HP to the wrong set of wheels. :icon_tdow |

And like a typical Honda, cheap mods can make it faster than stock.

its a good car no doubt about it but even if its faster than the rx8(which its not) its still not a sports car and can never do what the 8 can. not bashing it just stating an obvious concrete fact that for 18k you're not going to be killing 350zs as some make it out to.

I don't think it's as light as you all may think. I redlined 1,2,3 and it felt very slow for 200hp....It doesn't even feel as fast as an integra gsr.

well yes that sounds about right. It's wayyy heavier then it should be. YOu should go drive one and get back. Id be interested in what you think. I'm also a bit skeptical about this 190 whp. I'd like to see the dyno. I was actually excited to drive it and it just didn't impress me like I thought it would.

190whp is extremely mischevious
