Agreed, it has been demonstrated that a flex fuel SI will beat a stock Type R in a straight line race. That said, an R flashed with a KTuner basemap is roughly equivalent to a Big Turbo SI with even more low end power. I've been reviewing the KTuner Staged dyno charts for their R basemaps, and the difference is crazy.I think the value in parts you get is worth more. Breaks / Seats / Suspension / Engine/
But, if you are looking for value and something that will be just as fun the SI is a great daily
Tuned SI with flex fuel will keep up if not beat a Type R
The SI remains an awesome value. I have no qualms about the 1.5T engine anymore - it has performed beautifully, and I have no doubt that someone will eventually upgrade the headers/valve springs and turn it into the next B-series engine. That level of modding may not be for me personally, but it will be very impressive when it happens.
