This really isnt so much the issue as the fact that I believe the Si is much cleaner with a great owner history, so you are getting the better deal in a trade scenario imo. The Si will be more reliable and cost less to maintain. It was also put together JDM plus so it will hold its value better than the SC.

I have a much lengthier reply if you want me to PM it. Trying not to break any rules so I didnt post it here.

Simply put, His Si is more valuable than your SC and when he whines about the trade a month from now I will be the first person in line to say "I told you so"

not trying to be a bully, but did you just compare a civic to 5 spd sc300 ^ get youre head checked quick, sc300 is light years ahead of civics and hondas, sc300 inline 6 are also indestructible

In order to “Bully” me you would have to best me physically or mentally, you have done neither.

“Get your head checked”
Nah “Bro”, you should get a degree or take a basic math class.
- No worries, luckily for you I have done both, so I will proceed to school you.

The focus of this analysis is Power to Weight ratio
- As you can see below the only real advantage the fat ass SC has is the torque numbers. However, as most people know Honda’s regularly come up short on torque but this is something driving technique can overcome.

The facts:
Vehicle..................HP.........TQ..........Cu rb Weight...........HP/LB..................TQ/LB
99' Civic Si............160.........111.........2612________ ____0.061255743______0.042496172
95' SC300.............225.........210.........3506____ ________0.064175699______0.059897319

Weaker minds like to see the ratios reversed as it allows them to understand the deltas more easily. I have provided this format as well for review.
LB/HP____LB/TQ
16.325___23.53153
15.582___16.69524

So as you can see the SC has a marginally(<5%) better power to weight. So the real question is: do you want to drive a fat sluggish bitch or a small nimble car with a similar power/weight?

The overweight, underpowered SC’s only saving grace is the ease of ability to swap in the Twin turbo setup.

(I wanted to toss skid pad numbers in there too but they weren’t readily available on the pages I am going to cite)

1999 Civic SI Specs: http://www.motortrend.com/cars/1999/...pecifications/

This is simply the analysis of stock vs. stock, which was not the case in this scenario. These vehicles were both modified and the SI was more tastefully executed.

I went easy here as it is obviously my friend’s car now. Don’t fret, he won’t be driving a bitch mannered SC for long.

The point is, Naturally Aspirated SC300s are bullshit. They are fat as fuck and slow as shit and in general almost all SC owners think their cars are worth more than they really are.

Sorry for bullying you.
