R&T's numbers are reliable in the sense that the publish what they get. There are no corrections involved. Which explains their sometimes slower numbers.

They basically want to show what performance you would get if you actually owned the car. I don't think most people on this board are powershifting everytime they are racing.

197hp my ass for sure, this must have all been before my 20 McNugget order from McDonalds and then picking up my fatass friend on route for the 1/4 mile run. The car is no damn faster than an rsx, AND IT HAS AN LSD, yet it dynos out the ass, SURE.

Here is a few Si clips I found, they're pretty nice little cars

They dont come with HID. Only Honda that has HID is the s2000.
Keep in mind that Civic SIs are hard to come by. Most dealers add a markup so it may be difficult to get one at MSRP, unless you are willing to wait a while.

SpeedyV6: An S2k puts down around 210-215 at the wheels. Regardless, its considerably quicker than an Si.

jnumata do u have an si? I have a galaxy grey one. It is a sweet car. It isn't insanely fast but it handles great and is a blast to drive/ very practicle and imho the best blend of a car for me.
A stock si is rated at 197 hp. It isn't going to put down 197 on a dyno. here is one that put down 197 with I/H/E
http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1569592
dyno's on a stock si have been put out up to 188 hp, not to bad.
IMHO it is a great car for the money, but it clearly isn't an s2000 etc.

I have only seen one on the road and it's sexy. I think the new design of the civic looks the best among the past gens. However, with just intake, exhaust... I don't see cutting down to 14.2. I'll give it at 14.6 for a really experience 1/4 mile driver because many of them are rookie drivers. How many of them really hit the tracks and can really hault down 1/4 that well?...........
Without any kind of F/I, I just don't see the civic doing 13.8.

06 si and 05+ rsx-s in straight line acceleration will depend on the driver. Ive raced a stock Si in my Rsx and beat it badly but i ahve mods. Im gonna go to a 1/4 track sometime soon and try to break into the 13s. not sure if i will becuase im on stock tires.

^ Not bad at all for getting 14.93. But realize it's their BEST run, and I assume many runs are well into low 15s. Have that said, at 14.93 isn't a bad number for 197hp vehicle. So as I stated, running low 14s or 13.9 is kind of impossible without any modification.

Safety definitely was NOT neglected by Honda in developing the Civic coupe.
