Saw the New SI - Edmonton no pics :(

Driving in rush hour traffic and saw a "Alabaster" Silver SI in the rear view mirror. This thing looked hot - rims spoiler and all. It slowly caught up to the 4km/hr I was doing. Took an exit lane left, I could hear the tone of the exhaust from two lanes over, it sounded sweet. Coming from an EL Driver, who expects alot more than just a vic, was very jealous.
Sure they will start popping out very soon all over the place.
First SI I've seen though..Edmonton wise.

I saw one in Oklahoma City, yes Oklahoma City, the other day, it was red and freakin sweet. That exhaust note is pretty loud, but sounds nice.

i just saw a Fiji blue one at the bank, i got out of my car as it pulled in and my face just dropped. i was talkin to the guy inside, he said he beat his friends 2001 Acura 3.2 CL Type-S 4 times in a row by 3-4 car lengths everytime. its sick. the exhaust sounds great. he said he just walked in and took it right off the lot, im suprised they even had on on the lot.

I work at the local Honda Dealership and have to say that it sounds better than alot of aftermarket exhausts that I've heard.

Love the feel of the new body styling, almost like you're sitting too far back, but you've almost got MORE control. I love it.

you guys should just head on over to the dealership and check out the new si's instead of looking at them driving by. anyways, like gearbox said, the seating position is too far back. but i guess this helps with the weight balance.

2000 Si (B16A) is probably worst than K20Z3 in terms of power down low. I remember seeing a few dyno charts where the D16Y8 and B16 almost had the same amount power below 4K. B16A/B16B/B18C/F20C/K20, all these need to be up there in the revs... but thats what Honda is about.

did you see the si after supercharger? 270 hp is not bad for a single bolton.

cant argue with #'s like that........ 270 is a nice amount of power to have for the street.
