I'd say that my gs-r and my new si have pretty comparable power. the gs-r was maybe a little faster but not much. however the more i drive my si, the more i love it. i get a lot more compliments on my si too. i have to get some rims for it tho. it's lowered on black steelies. it'll look nice with a set of gunmetal slips i think. i'm gonna post some pics soon when i have access to a dig cam.
