Default Another SI

These SI guys..

Basically laid the smack down by about 10 cars in a very very short stretch of road. Side note: if you have an SI, don`t rev on an s2k that says "supercharged" on the side

Put the JDM B16 Si engine a CRX and build it, then there's a match between that and a S2k. But of course, everyone knows this.

Any DOHC motor (minus the ZC) will rip nutts in a CRX

true true. Seeing that the base model CRX is only 1800 lbs. But b16 is definitely the most popular, around here anyways.l

What's more lame... an SI driver racing an S2000 driver... or an S2000 driver claiming victory over an SI driver while wasting gas. I surely hope you won, 'cuz your car only costs twice as much as a Civic SI. Eureka!

Actually, I think cost does have something to do with it. I've
noticed (from other threads), than when people talk about
getting beat by a $60K+ Mercedes (like a C55), then it's always
"yea, but your car cost twice as much", like it's OK.

Then when we dust an Si, or a Del Sol (with a coffee can exhaust)
or something that's much cheaper, we all brag like it's cool.

So basically, we're trying to have our cake and eat it too.

Just my 2c

With me, I could really care less what type of car it is, or how much it costs. If the owner/car has a reputation of being quick and dusting a lot of cars and if I beat him then I'll still be proud of my win over the car. A win's a win.
