[edit] 0-60 performance
im deleting the 6.3, as it is HIGHLY ridiculous, i own a 2008 honda civic si, and im new to shifting, so i cant say what the exact time is (besides how would i drive a stick and hold a stopwatch), but it CANNOT hit 60 in under 7 seconds no matter who is driving the car.. i would say with a highly experienced shifter, it would be in the 7-7.5 range, which is what 90% of magazines and such say
Your personal views and experience are not pertinent to test data from magazines. Nor is Motor Trend the only one that hit a sub 7 second 0-60 time.--Sugaki 07:57, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] consistency
If the article is going to list 0-60 times for some si civics, then it should list the 0-60 time for all generations of si civics. And 0-60 in 6.3 seconds for a factory honda si or not seems to be stretching the truth a little a lot--Nytemunkey 20:21, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
also, the gauges are black/red, not red/white. it was black numbering on a red background for 06, this time around it's red numbering on a black background.
haha I told you all. [1] There is no stock honda with a 0-60 of 6 seconds, no way. Did you even see the torque and hp ratings of the new si? 6 seconds is a pipe dream. Lets try more 7.2 seconds tested by edmunds and 6.7 claimed by honda.--Nytemunkey 16:28, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
the pic of the 99-00 Si(the black pic) isnt actually an Si. Also the Canadian models of that year got ABS and heated mirrors.
0-60 times vary i personally have hit 0-60 in 6.5 seconds stock and 6.3 with intake and exhaust.
7+ seconds seems okay for a street start, but most magazines definitely list in the mid 6's for 0-60. 6.6 is the most common figure i believe.
If you're going to complain about consistancy <sic>, at least spell the word right. Plus, the 0-60 time of 6.3 seconds was recorded in Motor Trend. Just because you don't believe an Si should achieve 6.3 doesn't validate your opinion at all. Nytemunkey has already shown a negative bias towards the Si by stating a figure "[stretches] the truth a lot" even in spite of the claim coming from a reputable automotive source.--Sugaki
[edit] Lead image
I am not clear why the most recent model should not be the lead image. Almost every other page has the most recent model at the top. Why is the 1999 model more representative? --Daniel J. Leivick 23:16, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] No image for 5th gen Si?
All models have pictures except the best model! The 92-95 doesnt have one. Please, someone upload one. Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Felliph3 (talk • contribs) 15:46, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] 1999-2000 professionalism
The fastes 99-00 si in the world is owned by Max Ferreira go's 0-60 in 2 sec!! also the Creater of civic !!
This is down right disgraceful. Not only is the spelling TERRIBLE, but (warning: spelling alert) "creater of civic !!"? For that matter, NO Civic can go from naught to 60 in under 3, not even the RWD converted monster that uses the engine/transmission from an NSX. Someone delete this, or I will.

- It is just a little vandalism, no need to bring it up on the talk page unless there is an ongoing issue with a user. Just revert it. --Daniel J. Leivick (talk) 01:00, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
