Wow. That's better than sex. Except for the Shelby; that just looks like a bad Batmobile replica... minus the jet engine. I'm kinda diggin' the new Eclipse body, though. Now all we need is a 4G63 revival...

The Civic Si Concept celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Civic Si legacy in the U.S. and builds on its performance heritage with a 200-horsepower, 16-valve, DOHC i-VTEC engine with an 8,000 rpm red line, mated to a close ratio 6-speed manual transmission. Helping to put all that power to the ground is a helical-type limited slip differential for improved launch traction and cornering performance. Other performance features of the Civic Si Concept include 18-inch cast aluminum wheels, 225/40R18 high performance tires and 4-wheel disc brakes with large cross-drilled brake rotors and 4-piston Brembo calipers.
Yeah I'm likin' the Eclipse, but that Shelby looks like it's made out of stainless steel.

and what do you think your car is made out of? you just wish it was stainless.
