I guess I was thinking about the Integra Type-R with 210. So if the Civic SI has 197HP, the Type R only has 201, a diff of 4 HP? That’s not even enough to count. And both cars have a stock LSD so what is the difference? The Type-R better be at least 200lbs lighter, the Si is already too heavy coming in over the 2,800 lbs mark…

The european Civic Type R hasn't got LSD and in this 8th generation it doesn't even have indepedent rear suspension....

Wow that really sucks.
And to the other guy, I wasn't saying 2,877lbs was heavy, but it is the heaviest Civic hatch ever made yet. It is also about 100lbs heaver than the RSX-s and when I saw the new Si in person I was sure it was going to be lighter. So it was a little surprising to see the weight of 2,877, that is “heavy” for a Civic. No need to compare it to an Elise, just compare it to previous Civic models and its heavy which is my point.
The Civic Si is now heavier than the S2k, that just seems wrong. And yeah I know the S2k is just a 2 seater but still.
