Is it true that some people are bidding like 60g's to get their hands on one of these. My manager wanted to get one and he said the sales director at Gwinnett place told him that the buyer was paying $60,000 for the Mugen SI.

 

I heard something like that, but it was way before they thought about bringing the car to the U.S. But I wouldnt doubt it. I might not know much about the car market but if that car 10-15 years from now could be worth something like a old school Datson or vett (stingray), then it might be ok to invest into. IMO.

 

yeah, but the ITR wasn't $9000 more than the GSR!! And it had 15 extra hp as well

I think they should make a strippo version without sunroof, power windows, ac, etc. (like the type-r cars and also the EVO RS); then it will REALLY be lighter, and thus even better performance, and also cheaper.

 

the Mugen Si isnt worth it
the only difference between the Mugen and the regular Si is jus the body parts.
the performance is the same.
they are selling for about 30,000 - 34,000.
why buy that when you can get an evo or an sti?

 

I agree 100% w/ you jonathankim1990. I love my Honda & Acura's but Honda has bumped their heads. For one I'd rather them had did this to the coupe because wasn't Si's only coupe's/hatches.
I'd rather pay that for a evo or sti. Besides, if they made around 230-240 hp then it might be worth paying 30-35K.

 

yea, the mugen has 197 hp and 139 tq
Evo IX has 286 hp and 289 tq
Sti has 300 hp and 300 tq
so why pay the same for the mugen when yall can get the evo or the sti??

 

people will pay it so who cares.......

 

Like i said before, honda released the Mugen Accericories now. I looked them all up, and List for them is 12k, and Dealer list is just under 8k. Some things i found out, it has special Mugen brake pads on it ( $300 a pop) along with a short shifter ($150) and the microbraded brake lines ($150). So now people can pick and choose and make their own Mugen Civic. BTW the shift knobis $150.

 

for that money I'd rather rock a brand new TSX, but its still a nice ride. congrats on the new whip.

 

Went to see one at a local dealer. They're charging 35k! Plus, I asked, they aren't numbered cars! How can a "collectible" car they only make 1000 of not be numbered? If this is (to me) the only real selling point the Mugen Si has, they pretty much messed that up.
