Does this bother you...

[Captaindicki]

Unfortunately, I see disrespect and rudeness all over this forum - and pretty much ANY forum - it doesn't help that expressing opinions in writing means we don't get to see all of the social intricacies that people recognize in the day-to-day (expressions, body language) to add context to the discussion. All we can do is make an attempt to get along and disengage from toxic members/posts

Anyways -- seems like opinions are split on this, which tbh is interesting. I wish for more visual differentiation but it is cool to see that others don't really give a crap.

All I gotta say is...

Those that know, know.

Sounds like the Si folk walk around farting in wine glasses.

you should join the Fb group. Oh my god the si crowd just bring up the manual shifting like it’s a kill shot. Lol

I traded a 2017 Scatpack Charger for my Si

The SRT boys were unsettled about the Scatpack. The Scatpack boys were triggered by the V6 SuperTrackPak (which looks nearly identical to the Scat) and don’t even start mentioning the STP’s with Brembos lol

So no, no f’s given

Hehe and don't the new Scatpacks have some Hellcat parts? Dodge is notorious for scavenging.

I'm sure your extra 25 hp is a rocket ship compared to our turds.

Actually the coupe/sedan sports only have the 2.0L NA engine and not the 1.5L turbo found in the Hatchback Sports. There is a 47 HP more and 54 lb/ft of torque between SI and coupe/sedan sport. You are more limited with tuning on the 2.0L also. So yes you should feel a difference of what is basically 50HP and 50 lb/ft of torque.

I have the hatch so I didn't know the sport sedan didn't have the 1.5 turbo. Yeah!! Those guys suck!

I mean why would Honda put the 1.5 in the sport sedan?? Defeats the purpose of the Si then and would probably eat into it's sales lmao. 2.0 is a great, smooth, reliable engine with more than enough power for most people, especially with KTuner but yeah obviously doesn't compete with 1.5 and it's not meant to. The Sport is just an appearance package, Honda used the same logic in the Civic as they did with the Accord lineup but the mistake was making it look like an Si, if the Si had different styling from the Sport then I would have no problem with it.

Well it does. Bumpers are different on sedan and coupe. So it’s different lol

I'm talking about the difference between the Sport and Si, obviously the coupe has a different bumper. Even with the Sport's subtle differences, it still basically looks like an Si.

Well my coupe still cost more than them lol.

I take it you've never been to the CTR section?

 

[NoHonor937]

I take it you've never been to the Hype R section?

Well to be honest the type r costs over 10k more so they can pretty much look down on us all they want.

 

[healtoe]

Snowing in the gta area like crazy so I’m home cracking up reading this thread!

Doesn’t bother me that the sport trim looks like the Si, Honda saw a gap to sell more cars and fill it with the sport trim, good on them, that is smart business.

Also mod your car anyway you want, isn’t that what car culture is about? Feel like slapping on vtec turbo badges on your si go for it, ridiculous camber sure! It ain’t my car

Besides more important stuff in the world than judge people’s cars.

Tuner will take care of that real quick. Lol and a user posted a vid of an si vs regular cvt sedan and the cvt beat it every time. They then switched drivers to see if it was driver error and cvt still beat it every time lol. So no I don’t think it’s that much better. Cooler looking? Sure but since conversion mods exist I can make my coupe look cooler than yours so what exactly are you paying for? The si badge? I can buy that shit and stick it on my car. The wing? I can buy that and stick it on my car. 205 hp? A tuner flash and I got that too.

Then doing that why not just get a Si or get an R if your gonna spend the extra $$$ on that stuff then? I won't boast about how much better the Si is because I have been around the Si since the early 90's and Honda has been the same about the Si trim when it comes to power and performance. Reason they don't go further and reading posts on why Honda did not put more power into it is because they have the R as their top performance option for those that want and can get the top Civic.
It's like comparing the DC2 GSR and Type R. Back then the GSR had 170hp and the Type R had 195hp, but then you look into everything they left out of the GSR that was put into the R of that era it was quite a few things especially the engine. Yea you can say by doing some mods to a GSR it can perform better then the stock R itself, but it still started as a GSR and you will spend a few bucks to get it there. Take your CVT on a twisty road with an Si and will see who is the top performer.

I understand what OP is talking about, but he may have come out the wrong way by all means i don't think he was boasting that the Si is the superior civic on the road. He is just not happy with Honda going the route with the sport civic trim and i can understand that. I am driving the Si because I am going to autox it and that LSD and suspension is out the box better then the other trim models other then the R.
