According to this post: http://blog.vittuned.com/introducing-the-2017-civic-si/ and other dynos I've seen it seems that Honda slightly undersold the torque and horsepower specs on the 10th Gen SI. We're talking ~220 ft-lb of torque observed at the wheels and 205 HP at the wheels, which is better or equal than what Honda is advertising at the crankshaft.
Based on those numbers and the weight of the car I would expect to see a little bit better than the reported 0-60 times of 6.5 - 7.0 seconds and the ~ 15 second quarter mile stock.
I'm still breaking my new Si in so I haven't wanted to push it hard and time anything yet. I've cut it under 4-5k RPM at most during the break-in but I can say it has pushed me back in the seat with that torque. However, has anyone had a better run or have any insight as to why the car appears to underperform a bit vs the power it's putting out?
