That would be the test with all seasons
The 10th gen summers do a .97 g vice the .88. That's why I opted for them as it was a $200 option... though I got them and the fact I had them sort of fell by the wayside along with the few other dealer installed options when I got it.
I know the 9ths got a summer tires option as well, though I don't recall how it affected the cars performance though it should be comparable.
A sedan with the summers showed thile following for the 10th Si...

Skidpad: 97g
0-60: 6.3 sec
70-0 mph: 159 ft
1/4 mile: 14.8 sec
Good tires definately make or break a car.
Different locations/altitude/weather conditions make me take acceleration w/a grain of salt. Driven hard, they're definitely close.
The 2014 and 2015 soldiered on unchanged... but had a small bump.in power and had their suspension moderately improved over the original release of the 9th gen. I'm not sure if it happened in '13 or '14... though I think it happened in '13 because '12 flopped hard right after the redesign. I know the sway bars were made thicker and the steering was adjusted to be a bit quicker. I think the springs and dampers were also changed. If you compared an earlier stock 9th gen, even new, it would not perform as well. Honda really got wrecked over the initial release of the 9th gen Si.
From this article on 2013, after the emergent redesign, the performance numbers are similar to the 10th gen Si, again, improved over the all seasons... but it seems that skidpad is still .87 on summer tires... even with the best stock suspension setup Honda released. So big win for the 10th gen with the better tires.

I know my 9th was a '15 but lumbered and plowed compared to the 10th gen going through corners. It definitely didn't inspire confidence to drive it hard.
