TL will smoke Si in straight road but not around corners.

Please, all of you... get real. The new Civic Si would be a very fair match with a 5AT TL. Look up some timeslips on clubsi or 8thgencivic and then some times on stock 5AT TLs before you get offended by something like a lowly Civic being able to outperform the mighty TLs which you worship.

the new Si is no match for a 3G TL end of conversation. a rsx-s is faster than the new Si and that is a drivers race rsx-s vs. 3G AT TL. the new Si is the best civic ever made but still not in the same league as the tl-s or 3G TL.

I think even finding an 06 Si on the road will be a tall order. If you actually find this somewhat limited car, I highly doubt it will be in stock form.
I have never witnessed a new car have so many mods available in such a short amount of time. Less than a few months after its release, temple of vtec already had a modded version with full catback, race headers, CAI, customer reflash, and more....
As much as we drool over this, I think we all quickly remember as TL / TSX drivers that the Civic Si is still a kid's car that will be the envy of thieves eyeing all the components that can be swapped into a $.50 hatchback. I'll gladly take the luxury.

Whoa Whoa whoa. Don't be so confident. If a 2nd Gen TL-S is every bit as fast as a 3rd Gen AT TL, and a RSX-S runs step for step with a 2nd Gen TL-S (i've raced one before, and stock, it pulled a CL on me to 95, modded, it was a different story in my favor), then an RSX-S can run with a 3rd Gen AT TL. Now if a Civic Si is as fast as a RSX-S which it IS rumored to be, then it should be able to keep up with a 3rd Gen AT TL. Hope you all can follow that.
