Dave, great write-up, especially your point about CTR's clutch and transmission. They give the CTR a much better driving experience, particularly on the track. As someone who has had to rebuild an EJ25 in my WRX, I hear you when you talk about risk aversion of doing open heart surgery on your car. It's no fun and very expensive. I've driven both cars on the track. FWIW I think the Si has a good chassis that is let down by its engine, while the CTR has a good combination of a solid chassis and a fantastic engine. What surprised me about the CTR is that if you're not careful the rear will step out when taking corners. BTW, I'm a Si fan boy who has owned and enjoyed the 6th and 8th gen Si's--both cars were just fantastic to drive. Though it's a decent car, I will admit to being a bit disappointed by the current Si.
