Did u get it above 6k and actually “drive” it? I would agree there is a lack of power and the car is gutless without the vtec,buuuut I can assure u a si driven correctly would smoke ur gti and rape its asshole until it was bleeding chocolate:lol And Im not just saying this because I have a Si, but the car really has to be “driven” for the hp aspect. I bet I could take ya for a ride and change your mind:thumbup If you get a cobalt tho make sure to get the turbo one, I heard its nasty.:thumbup --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/test-drive-07-civic-si/244551)._
