not to mention the owners love to try and race you on the highway, just so they can weave in and out of traffic, loose control and crash into that poor camry
been there, seen it, John and Louie and Atilla can say the same

It's a completely legit question but you should have know what it would turn into on here.

For what it is, the Civic Si Sedan is a great car.

but the 8 is heavier
civic being 2800 LBS
and the 8 being 3029
But in straight line its pretty dead even..
Civic winning if it has a good driver..
N/A for N/a the civic beats the 8
when you get into the double clutching on those civics and stay within the vtec range and reduce the lag it is a great improvement.. I would never double clutch my car..
put headers and cat delete and exhaust and intake on the civic.. the rx8 cant keep up on the STRAIGHTS..
the 8 HAS by farrr much better handling.. but those little civics are quick be careful and dont underestimate em.. so on the track.. civic will get spanked..

Actually the civics are producing about the same HP as our 8's torque maybe 130's
but the 8 is heavier
civic being 2800 LBS
and the 8 being 3029

I was gonna say something along these lines but I figured I'd let it go. But he's right. Don't underestimate the new Si's.
And please spare me guys. I have both cars ok. I like BOTH cars. That's why I own BOTH of them.

if you learn how to drive and take advantage of that vtec youll walk away from 8's easily.. beleive me i guess ima bad driver then lol flame me away hahah but its true..
People dont buy civics to be the fastest ont he block.. but some of them let it get to tehm and hump you ont he highway every chance they get..
for a car to have to show off how fast it is for people to pay attention to it nahh not my deal anymore..
I can get peoples attention while eating at ihope and my car just sits outside and people go up to it and look inside.. and keep staring..

Exactly. I think with another month behind the Si, I could really keep up with a Stock 8. Si's are very mod-friendly too... I/H/E is nothing to sneeze at.
Just because I said this doesn't mean I'm gonna go take on a Vette or something. Don't associate me with the stereotype of them.
