an 01 SI has a k20a3, and K's are a much better platform (alot more aftermarket support, K-pro for tuning, DOHC, etc.),

I'd look for a '00 EX 5spd. The Si has a more powerful motor for building, but it doesn't quite get the same MPG of the LX/DX/EX. The EX has VTEC, which gives you about 20HP more than the non-VTEC LX. It's MPG is still pretty similar to the lower trims. The EX also tends to have more niceties, like AC, cruise, sunroof, PW, PL, etc.

hmmm alright...so what is the likely hood of an EX beating an SI in a race? Autocross Drag or otherwise? Would it come to the Driver if the cars are respecfully modded...or could you even do an SI swap in the EX like Ive seen done with WRX engines? Think I'll probably go with an EX just as a start because they are cheaper...think there is any hope of the 8th gen hondas picking up with the 6th gen left off?
as in modding and such since you speak the 7th suck

In a race all stock or even with the same mods the Si should handle the Ex very easily.
Si also offersame features like the Ex..The only difference is the Engine and trany and cluster but basically the rest is the same ..O yeah also the seats are different.
The Si you posted the red car..I think it's a great deal..If I wouldn't of have an Si I wouldn't thinks it twice..I would purchase that bitch

If you get that Si, please bust out those altezzas! Worst "upgrade" known to man.
I for one LOVE my 00 Ex. Wish I would've gotten the Si, but oh well. I can always swap a B series in later on down the road.
BTW: Glad to see another Subie fan on here. Depending on how much more money I spend on my bike, I hope to have my STi here in about a year.

I'm surprisingly satisfied with the stock power in my non-VTEC '00 auto sedan. 100MPH is no problem on a closed road. I remember how 1.6L 4cyl cars of the '70s and '80s felt...totally underpowered. My '00 Civic actually pulls well on high-altitude interstates, which is more than I can say for an '06 Jeep Rubicon auto/4.0L. The damned 4.0L wouldn't even maintain the speed limit going west out of Denver! My Civic BLASTED up to Summit County, by comparison.
I Like the 7th gen sedan body style. The weak aftermarket for the '01-'05 1.7L engine is the problem.
