I love how all the SI threads Ive seen on revscene have ended up being FC worthy. This car gets all the love.

I don't know if I want to call my car a sports car exactly haha. I don't think it's exactly an econobox either, since the engine loves to spin high and it's not exactly fuel efficient. At least it puts up a good fight with anything in the same price range and that's all it matters. Dude with a mommy-bought s2k and clk won't understand how these comparisons work.

And the reason why type R gets so much respect: despite its displacement and FWD setup and weight, Honda managed to optimize the car so much that it has consistently beat s2k stock-to-stock in all the BM videos I've seen. I don't know about the price though.

OP: any alternative options that you might be exploring? Do you want more fun or fuel economy? I can't get more than 500/tank on my SI driving mostly surrey/highway haha
