Reason there is variations is because of when the people shifted. Car and driver says they shifted to 3rd before 60. They didnt redline it, shifting at about 8 when redline is 8300. For this smartass who said the civic is a screamer alright, well look at it this way from what the fuck I just told you, the mazda aint no screamer either. And thats what it was meant to be, thats why the mazdaspeed is boosted, and still just as fast as a "grocery getter".
Damn that mazdaspeed sure is a true sports car. It cant even fuck with a Plain ol stock civic si. By the way that "grocery getter" of a civic is suppose to run high 14's stock. With very minor mod's it is easily a very low 14 sec if not high 13 sec car.
Firstly, I've just been all over Edmunds site looking for any performance specs on the 2006 Civic Si and it's not there. So unless you can provide a link, I'm going to have to call bullshit on your number.
Secondly, Car and Driver's number came
directly from Honda so once again, I'm going to have to call bullshit on you.
Mated with a new six-speed manual transmission (the shifter has migrated back down from the dashboard), it delivers enough punch, Honda tells us, to hustle the coupe to 60 mph in 7.3 seconds.
You can check it out
here.
So when you're done fabricating results and telling people what it's "supposed" to run, check out what it actually runs. And remember that the Mazdaspeed Miata (a true sports car) is faster than the 2006 Civic Si is stock.
I still can't believe that any person who knows the first thing about cars could possibly think any FWD vehicle is a sports car.
