**** the traffic behind me.

Well being the ripe old age of 100 you should be going slow! I've been told I drive like you btw since I've managed to put so many miles on my stock tires

I think it was Kenchan that pointed this out

Finally had the chance to drive an Si a few weeks ago. Ex GF moved to Florida, I expected so much more from the Si. What a turd. Build quality was garbage, engine sounded...nervous. Handling was unbelievably vague, power was meak at best. Probably why I broke up with her....ba dum dum. Car sucked too.

A friend at work has a regular Civic, late model, 2010, 11 maybe? My ex has a 2011 Si. The normal Civic feels like an overall better car. Not as "fast" obviously but just more solid in everything. Literally everything. From closing the door to some spirited traffic circles. really let down with the Si.

i Feel like these new gen SI's are a dissapointment and even degraded compared to the older models

Yea the engine does sound like its going to explode past 5k. When my dad drove it he was afraid to go past because it just sounds bad. One of the flaws with the 370z, maybe with the new one (the new z) it will be smoother. And then we can dump the 400lb flywheel.

I think a lighter flywheel would help.

If you want fewer obnoxious noises from the engine, a lightweight flywheel is going in the wrong direction.
