Crossfire from behind, tC from behind, TSX up front. Should be a really fun car to drive from the looks of those brakes, braking was the Type-S' biggest shortcoming, looks like the rectified that one double quick.

The Civic Si Concept celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Civic Si legacy in the U.S. and builds on its performance heritage with a 200-horsepower, 16-valve, DOHC i-VTEC engine with an 8,000 rpm red line, mated to a close ratio 6-speed manual transmission. Helping to put all that power to the ground is a helical-type limited slip differential for improved launch traction and cornering performance.

So would anyone care to speculate that this is going to be the chassis used for the DX/LX/EX coupe and sedan maybe??

Its hot, the only thing I don't like is the wing. Its a high car like the RSX, it seems even higher. The car has no wheel gap and the roofline still looks really high.

Sema launch this fall. sorry. the production version will not have brembos or the glass roof or the black hood, or a lot things on the concept. but the hp, engine, 6spd, slip diff, will make it.

it should be a great fight with the gti

Well the Civic Type R was faster around the test track on the top gear show than the new GTI. So add that with a limited slip you can say bye bye to the overweight GTI. I just hope version is light like all the other civics, cause it looks a little big.

Yeh but the gti is turboed. add a chip, down pipe, and exhaust and well over 240hp/280lbs of torque.

But i agree. I love honda too. I say forget about all this Si/Gti fwd nonsense!

Buy a used s2000 in the winter for $16k, keep your 7th gen, and call it a day.

Just head over to clubrsx.com there is alot of tunning for the k20a2. hondata the ECU, bolt ons, then to get into the engine mods. This is a very potent engine in its na form. The k20a2 responds very well to bolt ons, and the hondata reflash gives huge gains. Its not like our d17s.

I like the idea of the s2000 summer car

I am pretty much done with stealerships and 1st yr depreciation. I am dead set on keeping my 04 sdn and getting a s2000 as my weekend car. but the new si would be the new car i would get for a daily driver if i had too.

If i really wanted i can just slap the dezod turbo onto my 04 and i would be good to go.
