Evo X vs 08 Si
My friend has a black 08 si and he was trying to get me to buy a honda But ive always wanted an evo, when the X came out I knew it was the car for me. I ended up with the evo x and its jaw dropping, he has a few mods and I can dust him with out even pushing it all the way, he says he should have gotten an evo also, anyways im probably gonna get b!tched at but who cares Evos are so much better then Si period. 
heres 2 pics of my x

Look at your price tag... sure it must have better performance, under the right conditions like straight line...

are you trying to say that the evo only has better performance in a straight line?

By experience with a EG6 sirII against an EVO IV(without brake upgrade), the EVO IV fades its speed along the time it's was more visible on the curves... where the EG was catching up |

God damn thats hot,
but it wont take much for a SI to beat an evo.
If I had the money for the evo and the maintenance it takes for one,
I would be in the evo vs the SI
To mod an evo it is expensive even to get 500hp. The civic only needs 400hp, if that much to walk away from a 500 hp evo. I see it almost every weekend

looks good but, signing onto a Honda forum to bash a Honda will not net you many friends. No less, congrats on the buy. Looks good.
