"Civic si's are all five speeds!"

It depends on where you are from. The (1991-1995) Civic Si and GL had the option of a 4 speed manual transmission in Australia. By the looks of his screen name it looks like he is from Australia because he has a Prelude VTIR.

You obviously haven't driven both cars. I've driven the 4th and 5th gen lude, the 3rd gen gsr an ITR, and the 6th and 7th gen civic si. The ludes are faster, a lot faster than the si's.

I have raced SIz off the line and on highways ... No match for prelude. It was much more fun on highway though ...

i can barely feel the secondaries open when in VTEC
i had a better feeling with the SI eg coupe, those dont look like minivans
but yeah a lude 5th gen would rape the EP3 anyday
EP3?

I got a 95 h23 Lude, still i can win (not "sooo" easy tough), imagine the Vtec version (1/2 second faster at least)

Thanks for all the input guys, I thought the Civic Si was almost as fast, but I guess it doesn't even come close. I am going to look at a 98 Lude SH tomorrow, hopefully everything will be right with it and I can get it for a good price.
