I knew someone that could get their stock si and hit 14.9 in it. Of course, this was at Englishtown too. I'd say they're about tit for tat. The gs-r isn't gods gift to Honda racers.

No, I totally agree. The GSR isn't all that, but it does have it on the Si.

street racing, it's anyone's race. I've beaten some gsr's and I've lost to some. they were all close races, 1/2 a car or less......but like Dom says, "winning is winning" :fawk:

:rofl: Dom.. haha!

Driver is really everything, but with 2 drivers at the same level, the GSR will win.

I agree that a GSR in general is faster than an Si but there has been documented cases of Si w/ mild bolt ons and good drivers dipping into the 14s, from a roll a gsr will take the si due to the extra tourqe right off the bat, I have't lost to an Si but I'm a decent driver so that could also have something to do w/ it
To me, the GSR is just better and I'm not being biased, I love the look of the si, it just needs more tourqe for that size of a car, thats all...I used to love the B16A and it's still a great engine just it's not a B18C, and it took me owning one to realize that, the main reason I used to beat a lot of GSRs in my old B16AHB wasn't just the power to weight it was the fact that I could drive, I knew how to lauch (which is a little trickey in the Si) but I also ran up on a lot of incompetent drivers, I realized this at the tracka few weeks ago when I was beating a few of the B16A pwrd HBs in my full leather interior and system GSR...they were gutted just haven't really learned how to launch their car. Does this help?
