ORIGINAL: D17SOHC

Yea thats a believable kill. Ive hung with stock 7th gen si's all the way up to about 110 mph by then its over. That race would definitley come down to driver. IMHO though I would boost an A3 long before any D-series. I think most of the7th Gen hate comes from Haters who wish they had a K. Oh well we all evolve at some point?

I think this issue about which one is better, faster or nicer is just plainly subjective...depends on your own personal opinion of each civic gen...

I personally DO NOT LIKE how the ride of the 5th or 6th gen civic feels!!! To me they look good BUT the ride is not at all like the 7th or 8th gen...That's the reason why I hated civics before 'til I drove a couple of 7th gens and one 8th gen...Much more solid ad I dunno feels safer, more rigid, somewhat european ride

Then you are not serious about modding them.

whatever move honda makes, there will be people that love it and there will be people that hate it. I personally do not like the 01 to 05 styles, they look kind of big for a civic.

Honestly, when people ask me what they should do first to their Civics... I say wheels, tires, and suspension.

I think the 7th gen Si's look nice with a nice suspension and a lip kit, there's a local around here who drives a pretty nice one. It's far too heavy though.

I don't like the 01-05 at all, but the 06 is a good step in the right direction IMO. Just needs to be lighter.

Just gut the interior, who needs a rear or passenger seat or sound dampining. Thats got to save some weight off the 06's.
