Default 06 civic si or 05 350 base

Which is faster? The si has lsd, vtec, and 8k redline. The base has no lsd, heavier, but 87 more hp. I have a feeling the si will be quicker off the line, but no chance in a quarter mile.

which has better handling?

lol, just to let you know you did get on a 350Z forum and asked this question. Same as if you get on a Civic forum they will say the Civic is way better.

You are asking a question that will have alot of biased opinions because of where you asked it. Best way to do it is search google for 0-60 times, 1/4 mile times, ect. Also look up track times aswell if you are really wanting to get a full feel for this

I doubt a civic forum would say a civic is better than a Z. even they can't lie that bad.

Drive 'em both, then decide. But of course everyone here will say the obvious.

If the civic has I/H/E + hondata it makes at least 290+ hp at the wheels and cant lose. Plus it doesn't have any torque steer, also so if you hold the gas down starting right after the 2nd red light in the christmas tree you get a turbocharged nitro head start for like 2 seconds.

Also, you get 30HP more just by pushing on the gears up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, brake, gas.
