Hey guys, was not sure where to post this, so please no flaming...lol

I currently have a 2006 Hyundai Tiburon SE V6 6 spd with I/H/E.

I raced my buddies stock 2006 Si and I beat him by about 2 cars.

Now my dilema is, I really love the new Si's. Love the styling, the sound, pretty much everything about them. I'm debating whether to trade in my Tiburon for an '06 or '07 Si.

I know stock, they are pretty darn quick. I'm guessing with I/H/E, it would walk the Tiburon. Is this a fair assumption?

Also, any pro's or con's you have with them?

Any help would be appreciated. I will be going to a Honda dealership tomorrow, and would like some insight before I go. I would ask my buddy, but he went from a Mustang to his Civic Si, and just got it about a week ago, so he does not know much yet.

Help out a possible future Si owner...lol


Thanks

hmm... i think in terms of reliability the Si will last u a while longer than the hyundai. Like my friend has a yellow 04 GT tibby (i believe) with like 70k on it i believe, and he ran in to some major problems just recently.

but the Si has a k-series engine which responds well to bolt ons... read some stuff here man http://www.8thcivic.com/

these 3 threads show dynos with certain mods, one even has a Intake, exhust mod pull.

but ur tibby is 2898lbs and has 172hp and 181tq to the crank ith your mods its safe to say u are around 175hp to the wheels.... the si stock is 2877lbs and around 185hp (to the wheels respectively) it was prolly just cause u were the better driver man with the way u drive u would prolly be better off with the Si, and be able to walk all over your buddy... i got a solution. GO to a honda dealership and test drive a si, then meet up with ur buddy and get a quick run or two in

well this should start u on ur way...
