Gotta love people who can't drive.

I'm not a fan of the new Si, but you shouldn't have been able to beat him by that much.

well believe me or not but both of my local dealers told me that the si's are slower this year than our cars in 2k1. and i have heard that also outside the honda dealers and this was after i bought my car plus they didnt even have the 2k2 si out when i got my 2k1! just some food for your guys thoughts.

well i don't think a 2k1 is fast than the SiR but I had a similar experience. It was pretty even but I was ahead

i beleave he could win look at the numbers on the si, howdy ran a 15.8 and thats what the si ran. so you have to figure if the guy racing it isn't a race car driver its very possible

yea im not doubting the Si lost, im doubting that he put that much distance on it.

The K20A3 is not a sluggish motor with a decent driver.

the guy didn't know how to drive. an ex isnt faster than the 2002 si. the guy simply didnt know how to drive his car properly.
