  • Is that Johnny Drama behind the wheel?

  • and the civic had a lead.

  • lol he looks scared grabbing on the wheel for dear life

  • Not only is the WRX turbo-charged, but it has about 66 more Horse Power and it's AWD. Simply a better car, you can't really compare it to the Civic...even an Si.

  • @iKnollex what does AWD have to do with THIS race? U do kno that AWD only kicks in when both cars start from the dig......after 30-40mph, it is just added weight. And i think it is a fair race consider the weight of both cars. The SI is wayy lighter than the WRX, not to mention that this SI is a coupe. GEt it? Power to weight ratio? Not trying to challenge u or anything, i'm just saying the facts.

  • @iKnollex What does AWD have to do with THIS race? U do kno that an AWD car only matters when they start from the dig and when a AWD car reach 30+mph, it is just added weight, right?. Just so yall civic fans kno, this IS a fair race. Y? Because the SI is wayy lighter than the WRX not to mention that this SI is a coupe... GEt it? Power to weight ratio? This civic is at least 300 lbs lighter.

  • @turbobenx 1. Coupe doesn't matter much.

    2. Turbo vs Non-Turbo

    3. AWD = Power to all the wheels, instead of the front having to pull all the weight.

    So, yeah, sorry, but the WRX is just all-around better and this really isn't even a fair race.

  • @iKnollex u still dont understand the AWD system. AWD only applies when both cars stand dead still. In the roll, the AWD cars just put on weight which lowers the HP. Coupe does matter. coupe r lighter than a sedan and not to mention the SI is lighter than a WRX. Based on your comment, i assume u dunno anything about the power to weight... As a matter a fact, i was wrong by saying this is a fair race not because it's NA vs. turbo... but it's the fact that one is modded and one is stock.

  • @turbobenx I know enough about power to weight ratio. Anyways, still not really fair race. Who cares though, they're both good cars.

  • Worst shifting ever

  • man cant w8 to get my wrx...

  • I own a stg 2 WRB wrx but I've gotta say if your a car enthusiast you would under stand that even though a si makes 197 hp in reality that's a shit load for 2.0l 4 banger. Think about it a n/a 2.0 putting 197 hp while a bugeye makes 227 hp with the force induction of a td04. Only 27 more hp from a turbo...but I know we lose an assload of power thru the awd drivetrain but you can't say the k20 isn't one of the most sophisticated motors out there.

  • right stock vs stock rex wins put money into a civic and you win hmmm oo then you put money into a rex o shit we win again n again n agian dueces civics sucks

  • @stephenwrx88 jus cuz the wrx is faster than an si doesnt mean the civic sucks..? they're both very nice cars

  • Even thought the wrs smoke the si the wrs is slow ass shit 4 been a factory turbo car

  • @singlecam1000 like people are going to take you seriously when you dont know what the fuck your saying. what the hell is a wrs? "Slow ass shit 4 been a factory turbo"...what does that mean? your obviously a SI fan and your mad it lost so you have to rage with nonsense. The WRX is not slow as shit considering the background it has. Ive seen SI's race in the continental tire GT series as well so I know they arent slow. But guess what the Subaru is in the GS class which is faster..so shut up troll

  • a stock si can keap up off a roll now a si with bolt ons and flashpro can beat a wrx off a roll trust me done it b4.check my vids ran a 13.9 on street tires

  • I have an 07 si and my friend has a 06 wrx when we race he gets me on the launch and i pass him at around 80-90 mph both stock

  • Lol caliboy your a retard theirs a reason why the civic looked like he wasn't trying......... its quite simple Suby makes everything stand still.

  • I think you made your point at 00:20 second into the video. So how is the handling on the curves?

  • this guys is a joke... light speed captin

  • everyone PLEASE read the description before you start talking shit. The wrx is turbo'd while the civic is not. Thats why this isnt even a race.

  • @jh3208 That's funny. Honda kids all day talk shit when they beat N/A cars and they have turbos spinning 20psi. Oh well you lose.

  • @jh3208 Dude, it comes factory with a turbor.. It's not like he stuck a turbo on there... Don't be mad because a factory wrx would still spank that thing.

  • @jh3208 stock for stock would of been an actual race

  • is that si turboed?

  • I wouldn't even consider that a race lol

  • The Si may come with more power stock but its way behind on torque which is what all of you forget.

  • @Tyutyunnik lol what are you talking about? the civic si is a joke compared to the wrx. in all aspects. including raw power.

  • i love my si. but why the hell would you fuck with a subie? hahaha

  • for a 2.0 NA 4 cyl vs a 2.5 FI 4 boxer, the civic does pretty well IMO.

    NA va NA the civic has at least 40 Hp to the wheels on an Impreza. and that's 2.0 vs 2.5.

    and for the 10k more it would cost for an STI, you can put 350+ to ground on an si.

    Just saying.

  • @mattgrimesisfat you can also put 400+ to the ground with an sti also... buddy has one with a ecu, intake, turbo back exhaust, wastegate, BOV and tuned at 21psi and dynoed at 426awhp

    I've owned a civic, integra and an accord before i bought my wrx, and ill tell ya this, ill never go back to a honda now again... and yes i know what the power can come out of a honda considering i fully built a b18 motor in my integra for drag...

  • I give credit to Hondas because they don't need boost to make 200HP from a N/A 2.0

    Add boost to a Civic SI and see the difference

  • Wayyy predictable. Why people even try to include the civics anywhere near the same class as a wrx is beyond me

  • why the hell would the Si being bone stock race the WRX with that much stuff on it? the WRX already has a 30hp advantage plus more torque i'm sure, how can i draw any conclusions from a WRX that is already faster with an ass load of stuff on it racing a bone stock Si with NOTHING on it?? why do people agree to such things is beyond me....

  • @Masst3rShake lol, i swear to god civic people never complain if they got a better car but when they get beat they complain.

  • Civic wasn't even racing.

  • @kg35tt Yeah thats why the civic was honking.....

  • @kg35tt yeah it was. i know the kid

  • don't people know honda 's civic si are for girls

  • 0:08 TERRIFIED FACE!!!!

  • That civic didnt have a chance. I think we all knew the outcome of this one, geez louise.By the way the guy in that civic is MORE JDM than the guy in the subie, because his car is made and only available in the USA.

  • The Subaru was brought here & rebuilt in Lafayette, La to meet USA standards. The hardware is imported from Japan, which makes it as 'JDM' as the Honda that was brought here & had the same thing done to it.

  • so predictable ) new wrx even faster than sti )))

    I have si, but I'm realistic what si can do )

  • I would eat this subbie for lunch.

  • @TheboostedSi that wouldnt taste so good.yummy...metal.lol

  • Comment removed

  • most people don't know this but.... there is a huge difference between a F/I car than an NA car

  • haha i love how he beat him by a mile but he kept flyin' down the road haha

  • the vtec didn't kick in yo, lol

  • Stock si's are slow. When i was stock i could barely run 15.3. After my i/h/e and tune with flashpro i ran 14.17 @ 100 mph.

  • @w00t692 14.17? Isn't that really 15.7? LOL, bolt-ons made you slower!

  • @jharris010

    What the hell are you talking about?

  • Damn you beat him just slow down all ready.

  • @botch8949 lol

  • for a stock Si going up against a turboed car w a bit or wrench work done to it.. not too bad. throw in a turbo and matching parts in the Si, and i think the outcome would be different.

  • @base7nrm ya it would blow a head gasket.

  • Honda had its jdm days..its now subaru/mitsu that are the top jdm dogs around....not to say you can't build a fast honda.that said nice kill

  • "I had no shift"

    what a douche.

    not like it was gonna be a close race anyways.

    noob.

  • honestly? WRX hands-down 

  • He has no shift?

  • wow, a turbo wrx with Sard sportsex+ intake and reflashed vs. a stock 07 si. The wrx wins? Really? Big surprise! Great accomplishment!

  • dick face lol

  • the honda got blown away

  • Nice try Honda....Maybe evo can offer something....

  • I not did not see the face of honda trying to run

  • what a noob face

  • bet the guy in the wrx looks like a swingin penis drivin.. bet you come to pittsburgh and run my 08 n have a whole new out look on hondas after your ears get done ringin wen i blow by ya

  • @randypainter08 I doubt it. Your honda sucks like all the rest of them.

  • i mean what do you expect? a 197 hp honda vs a 230+ wrx? no shit the impreza is going to win. but youd be suprised hondas are cheap to mod and can be very fast.

  • lmao did u have to embarras the poor guy?

  • the Si shouldn't even try he knows he s going to lose

  • two hands on the wheel son!! lmao

  • @WCMindfreak Thats how you are supposed to race... but in a straight line im not so sure....

  • @WCMindfreak he was scared did you see his face lol

  • @erealpe13 haha yeah and looks like he got thrown back in his seat from all that power!!

  • @WCMindfreak haha cmon son get outta here wit that bullshit son cmon son

  • @WCMindfreak yea dude he's a pussy haha

  • did he say " i have no shift?"

    or did he say "i dont know how to shift?"

  • Bye Bye Honda SSIIII!!!!

  • look at the description and read the mods you shitheads. lets hope the modified subie stomps the STOCK si. throw intake header exhaust and flashpro on the si and the outcome will be different. a stock si is slow as balls, and i own one so i would know. modify that bish then race again

  • @08si2door si will still lose. it's a chick car.

  • @08si2door Dude I have a BONE STOCK WRX and I would walk all over your SI. It dont matter what you have done to it. Ive had my car for about 8 months and ive NEVER lost against a honda.

  • lmao@0:09. what a squid.

  • it doesn't even look like race ) si didn't even try )))

  • @lanlug dude, sti's have over 100hp more than si's PLUS it's modded. lmao si has nothing on a stock sti even with all boltons

  • sure !!!! I'm totally agree with you !!! I don't want to argue that )) but in this specific video it doesn't even look like a race ))))

  • still waiting for honda to come out with an all awd street beast. i'd imagine that to be a popular addition to their family. put it right up there with the evo and sti. come on honda get with the picture!

  • No, not gonna happen buddy.

  • The guy looks scared lol.

  • hahhaha the driver looks scared as shit

  • i give credit to hondas but they can only do so much.

  • @5nallyg0d pretty much sums it up.

  • @Grifkylian

    @Girsbestfriend

    My moms this and my friends that.. go get your own cars queers and what Si ever came turboed?none

  • lol your a homo, your acting like you have to try against a stock civic.

  • turbo vs none turbo hhhmmmmm dumbasses

  • LOL honda loses again... i spanked a brand new SI the other day that had the HFP kit, some exhaust... and i pulled 3 cars on him from 40-100 with my MOM's AUTOMATIC volvo v50 T5 R Wagon hahahah

  • lol looks like Johnny Drama

  • Comment removed

  • put a turbo/ exhaust/ hondata flashpro and then delete the cat and then see who wins, the si would fuckin rock it. not hatin on either car just sayin an si that is bossted with a few upgrades woould beat that wrx

  • put a sti turbo and tune on the wrx. and it would shit on your si w/ turbo. HA learn sometthing.

  • true... you cant race just put a turbo on an SI and race a stock wrx with exhaust.. lol thats kinda funny...

  • he only has a exhaust im sure if u add a hondata and a full exhaust on honda it stil wouldent touch the wrx

  • hes got exhaust, deleted cat, and reflash which makes a pretty good difference on a turboed car do that to the si along with a turbo and the wrx would be a joke, not hating on the wrx just sayin theses are two wayyyy different cars

  • well the honda being lighter and better suited for roll races and having v tec and 6 speed much better with about 200 hp stock wrx has 227 stock and gets 165 hp because of awd and isnt good on rolls especially in fourth and fifth i would say this car did good  with just a exhaust ....

  • vtec isnt that big of a deal the 07 si's made 180 or so to the wheels at like 7200 rpm and the wrx comes stock with more than 165 to the wheels and this guy has reflashed his computer deleted the cat and put a full exhaust which helped out the turbo tbecause its esier to make more boost and lets the trubo boost up faster. and maybe the guy in the si couldnt drive.

  • try telling a honda fan  vteck isnt big of deal

  • haha okay V tec is a big deal i love having it haha not gonna lie but im not sayin im right it was just my opinion man not tryin to sound like a dooche but thats the only reason why i didnt get a wrx is becuase of the roll but the things hes done does make a good bit of difference becuase no stock wrx pulls on a si like that

  • theres alllllways excuses online. The guy in the damn WRX couldnt drive. Look how close he is to redline from the start. he has to short shift 2nd into 3rd... Its a retarded race to begin with. neither of them know how to drive or RACE from a roll at that. the suby was just more modded hence why it put buss lengths on that civic.

  • dude my friends stock 83 rx-7 smokes the new si tech and the old one that is turboed! Honda sucks

  • @Girsbestfriend if i told you a friend of mine got a Honda Prelude Vtec with 530WPH... Honda is good, Mazda is good, Subaru is good... ALL Japanese cars got their own special way of racing. I Got Honda AND Mazda... and a Supra is comming too...

  • @DJFreshSkillZ dude my friend has a stock 22 year old rx-7 smokes the newest ivtechs and lost by like 2 car lengths to a turboed civic 1995 model

  • ait, what specs that rx7 got? cuz my homie is bussy to tune his rx7 to 600+ whp ik like rx7 a lot i had like 4 mazda's... Japanese cars rulez ;-)

  • told you its stock all it has is rims and tires. CICIS SUCK

  • damn this race is hella unfair, a mod wrx vs stock si.

  • sorry bro, but even if the wrx was stock and the Si was modded like the wrx, it still wouldnt even come close to a stock wrx.

  • at what point did the moron in the wrx feel like letting out of the throttle? 120 did i hear him say?

    idiot could have let out after the taxi at 0:17 and called it fairly won. street racing doesn't kill per say, idiots running 100+ AFTER a win does. especially when they can not drive (not saying anyone in this video can't as they both demonstrated they can, just saying).

  • That is TN. I could bet on it. I randomly drove down that road just last week.

  • was this in TN lol i think i know those roads.

  • wtf? This is probably the worst race matchup is the history of youtube....Its funny to cus the guy in the wrx looked like he really tried.

  • i know right, he was all serious, i bet he was the one that challenged a stock civic si, some people have no class

  • He like religiously follows this video , your worse than WoW nerds LOL

  • This akabane1984 needs to shut the FUCK up

  • YOU need to shut the fuck up, fuckhead. I follow ALL videos showing good cars, dumbass.

  • ok ok, sorry, I didnt realize you stalk videos, sorry my bad.

  • And exactly WHAT is your problem? I don't recall ever talking to you.

  • is that Chris Cornell driving the wrx?

  • hahahahaha

  • I thought it was Ethan Hawke from "Training Day" LOL

  • Mr. Subaru... let me put it in a kinder tone. You are full of BS opinions... lots. And because I know you have a whole basket full of them... I am going to save my Macs battery life and give up here. I love Subaru's.... just hate opinionated douche fags. See you on the road, akabane.

  • Facts, man, just facts. I will definitely admit to being an asshole but I have to be when people blow their cars outta' proportion. I don't race w/the Legacy that much, but I know what it can do. I've also driven a Honda so I know what THEY can do as well.

  • Mr. Subaru, did I not tell you my car was 210WHP and 180ft-lbs? Your talking about torque and I apparently am not at a lack(compared to your Legacy). My car tipped the scale at 2797 pounds.... thats a fact, not an opinion. Now the only excuse you have is AWD, which from a stop, you would have an advantage, obviously. But my launch is pretty good and a roll start would definitely put you behind. Try fooling some people who haven't hand experience raping your WRX. Oh wait, Legacy haha.

  • Even if you're my equivalent @ weight, you're still FWD. I have the advantage from a stop AND a track or anything that requires cornering. So you can have your Si. Btw, I smoke H22 swaps on the daily so I don't think I'd have a problem w/you @ all. By the way, my Legacy is different than you think. It is an EJ22 that apparently doesn't NEED a turbo against an '06+ Civic, seeing as I smoked one today without effort @ all. Btw, those Civics are heavier than my car is, over 3k lbs.

  • legacy"s are badass i have a my07 forester xt turbo we should race sumtime

  • When I get a Turbo too! LOL! I've seen how Forester XTs get down! They're no slouches!

  • Let me put it in a kinder tone. Subarus are more functional, more comfortable, equally as reliable, & much more aesthetically pleasing than any Honda Civic in the world. Honda even has some balls trying to overprice their crap & bring it up to 30k.

  • I"m guessing you are referring to the mugen si. Although I love my Si I have to agree with you. 30k for suspension and a body kit just wasn't cool. Japan gets the good civics anyways. Which that wont be the case for the next gen. Rumor mill has a 1.5l engine going in the next gen civic with no plans for the K20 engine for now.

  • 30k? I was thinking that it was an ACTUAL JDM Si, @ least. Then I find out we get that Mugen crap. I don't like Hondas but I'll admit that the JDM Civics & Accords are some great lookers, & even better performers, well beyond what we get here.

  • Nah the Mugen Si just came with an axle back exhaust, body kit and high spoiler, rims, and a suspension set up. After market mods that should only cost maybe half of what Honda asked for. Mostly people paid an extra 10k for a name when they could have gotten a newish but used evo or sti.

    Yeah the Jap civics even come with torque... ahh who am i kidding :p

  • This vid represented what happens when an Si faces a WRX. That is reality. WRXs are far from slow. Hondas are not as fast as they are made out to be. They are great cars for normal transportation & gas mileage. That is all. The hype must die as it holds absolutely no weight.

  • Haha ok calm down Mr.Subaru, you are starting to sound like a broken record. I thought we were talking about a WRX to an SI? Your 97 Legacy is not a WRX, although still a decent car. I admit I was low on STI WHP, not a Subaru guy apparently. I am basing my opinions off first-hand experience behind the wheel of the SI and the WRX(not legacy)... so I'm sorry if I offended your lovely Subaru. As long as I can beat it behind the wheel, I have no reason to argue.

  • seriously. akabane have even raced a wrx????

    take ur legacy and race 1. you will see how pathetic the Non sti imprezas are.

    and I highly doubt that you have beaten a 2006 2 dr civic SI.

    My freind smashes them all the time. we even gave 1-2 car headstart.

    its a fact as long as the cars are alreadymoving even if its just 5MPH the imprezas going to lose this vid is representing a bad driver.

    next time dont go looking for a Bseries. take on the K series!

  • I have raced a WRX & I've raced in a WRX. They really aren't as slow as you think. I've also raced in a 2.5RS (WRX swap so it's essentially as 90's WRX) & it's even faster than the WRXs & STi's of '00+.

    Civic Si's aren't that hard to beat in my car. They SUCK @ the light. 197hp means nothing if 127ft-lbs is running the car (K motor). Also, I believe you've seen this before = watch?v=vibdImOH7cY - There's your K motor in action. Not too much to watch my back for.

  • watever . do realize how slow the 2000 si's are????

    their b16 thats 1.6 dohc vtec.

    my buds beaten a b16 turbo hatch like nothing. I was in the car with him too. we pulled over and he was pushing 7 pounds of boost.

    trust me you can not compare the new civics towards the b. they are 2 completely different cars. hell we've even spanked an s2k, that mother fukca was weak. sure it was loud and im pretty sure 1/4 mile he'd spank us back. but on the streets the new civics POWN

  • That hatch is a '00+ with a K20 motor. It got stomped by an EJ20 Legacy.

    The new Civics are for gas mileage & getting from point A to point B, not really made for racing @ all, especially not with FWD.

  • hahahahahahai dont care I've honestly never seen my freind get beat by an impreza unless its an sti or has over 20 lbs of boost

  • He isn't invincible, especially if he's driving a Honda.

  • watever dude you've never driven a 2006 civic SI 2dr. .

    You won't even believe that its a hondaafter driving 1 dor just 10 minutes.

  • A Honda Civic really isn't that great of a car. It's called a 'civic' for a reason. It's cheap for a reason. If you throw 10k into a Civic & threw 10k into a WRX, the Civic will look like it's not even moving, feel totally uncomfortable, & still suck @ the light & @ the track. The WRX will be the opposite of all of that.

  • not if you throw it in a k.

    so far their were 5 turbocharged 2006+ civic SI's each one of them having less than 10 lbs of boost and making well over 350hp

  • A K will be more rewarding than a B, especially if you do a a frankenstein (K20 head, K24 block). The K motors can even withstand up to 20lbs of boost without internal enhancement. But so can the EJ22 Turbo. The motor is potent but unfortunately, it resides in a FWD system.

  • thats wat i've been saying this vid doesnt do the k justice this was just a really bad driver.

    i hate the older hondas completely im not saying i like them their ugly.

    if it werent for the K. i would have no interests in hondas at all. otherwiise i would have bought a gsx eclipse instead of saving up my money for the civic 06.

    just wait next time ur legacy c's a k series 06+ give it ur all so that u wont make excuses when it opens up a can of woop assss

  • My Legacy has 170whp w/175ft-lbs. I don't really think I have to worry about a stock Si K unless I'm on the highway & even then it will still struggle to beat me (if it does beat me). I have more rotational pull than it does & I've already smoked an Si hatch from a light. No torque=VERY slow acceleration. Also, I weigh 2750lbs. A new age (06+) Civic sedan or coupe is heavier than my car is plus I have AWD. I will be @ a MAJOR advantage. But the Si is welcome to try.

  • You haven't offended anything. But there is no going around the facts. That fact that anyone can compare a Honda to a Subaru is outrageous. Subarus are obviously better cars than Hondas are. That's a fact.

  • @akabane1984 haha funny. NSX vs WRX or even an S2k

  • Or we can put things to rest by saying 22b owns Honda's best.

  • @akabane1984

    You forgetting about the NSX?

  • What about it? It isn't a slouch by any means by not comparable to the 22b. Actually, I think a turbo charged S2K would bring it closer to a 22b than an NSX would.

  • @akabane1984 Hondas best? Does this include the 3.5L V10 550 N/A HP That Honda put into what was going to be the future NSX? Hell There is even the 2.2L K series motor that Mugen has for their Civic RR that puts out 260HP N/A. Sorry Subaru is a great company but when it comes to Engines Honda is largest engine producer in the world. And although all of their current line up is economy based they have engines on tap that are masterpieces of engineering. All N/A as well.

  • 1:Sorry but Subaru already had a 2.2L pushing out 350hp/320TQ. Most of their normal performance engines push out over 300hp easily. That's not mentioning their high performance engines.

    2: I'd much rather build an EJ20/257 & achieve 550hp that way than have a 3.5L 550hp engine. More power per liter, just as reliable, & it's a boxer design. Revs come on much smoother & the powerband is more even.

    3:Hondas are good but it's Subaru that has masterpiece engines. The EJ is 21yrs old & still produced.

  • @akabane1984 There is one major difference between Subaru's path to good HP/L vs Hondas. That's that Honda produces all N/A engines minus the SUV RDX. You won't see an N/A Boxer engine achieve the numbers Honda has with their engines. When Subaru achieves 160hp/L N/A let me know.

  • 1:LOL @ power per L. That's not a really good way to account for the lack of hp/tq Honda I4s are known for. Hell, even an N/A EJ20 has more tq than a stock B20A.

    2:Subaru has an N/A EJ20 producing 190hp N/A. Honda has a K20 producing 200hp. I think for an N/A boxer engine not for high revs, that's close enough.

    3:Honda doesn't offer AWD in even their cheapest cars, Subaru offers AWD all around here in the USA. When Honda gets around to doing that, let me know.

  • @akabane1984 1:Honda has no torque I can't deny that argument =P

    2:Honda's highest output N/A K20 was 210HP in the US. However the K20A in the JDM Civic Mugen Type R is 240hp. The F22C I4 puts out 250HP in the japanese S2000.

    3:Honda does not make AWD vehicles except in it's Acura line up it caters to an economy based line up minus a few vehicles.

    You got off track with my main argument of Honda producing better engines than Subaru. You can't deny the advantage of AWD.

  • 1:You're confusing power per litre for what's 'better'. N/A isn't better. It's just an engine designed to rev high to produce power. Turbo isn't better either. It uses a snail to aid in producing power.

    2:If you want to say which one is better, pick one. They both are engines that can be beat on for ages with proper maintenance. The engine with WTQ is the EJ, the engine with WHP is the K20.

    3:Subaru=Curves. Honda=High speed cruising. Both handle better than V8 giants anyhow.

  • @Metalhead852 dont forget the AWD wagovan

  • Good to know someone who looks at the whole picture, Sunny. Even the $25K STI is around 210WHP stock(my car has same HP N/A). I drove a WRX for a week straight and hated it... because I have a FG2 that handles a lot better, inevitably more reliable, and has the N/A ability to haul ass. In other words... my car was built smart. If you truly want to argue... come my way and we can do it behind the wheel. I have turned so many into believers, especially those Subaru fans.

  • "Even the $25K STI is around 210WHP stock" - Holy fuck, that's VERY inaccurate. They actually make about 260whp.

    "because I have a FG2 that handles a lot better" - I REALLY doubt that since AWD>FWD....

    "inevitably more reliable" - REALLY, REALLY doubt that as Subarus last as long or longer than Hondas....

    "has the N/A ability to haul ass" - My Legacy L has no problem doing that whatsoever, weighing in @ 2750lbs & all. Also, why would I want a Honda with no torque? I like my pulling power.

  • om,glike I've been trying to say. the civic si 2006+ doesn't compare to the previous B's. not even the honda type r year 2000 compares to 2007 civic si.

    it was number 1 in the FWD class model and number 4 in the stock competitors under 30000 $ competitions of 2005.

  • "I have turned so many into believers, especially those Subaru fans." - I've crushed old & new age Si's with my '97 Legacy L. My Legacy was built from the factory as a people mover with good power, good mpgs, & great handling. Absolutely NONE of that understeering crap that you get from a Honda. From beginning to absolute finish, Subaru>Honda unless you have the NSX out then Impreza STi 22B>Honda NSX Type R. There is absolutely no getting around that Subaru is a much better car than a Honda is.

  • So bias, man. I haven't raced professionally but I have worked on more cars than I know. Fact is, you are comparing a factory turbo car to a N/A car. The WRX is like 170WHP after drivetrain loss. My Civic SI puts 210WHP without a turbo and low budget. Plus a WRX feels like a tractor through corners, steering is unresponsive and un-linear, car tracks horribly. Torque doesn't matter when my car is 500 pounds lighter, either way mine is 180Wtq, not too shabby. Like I said, N/A to turbo.

  • I honestly couldnt have said it better myself.
