whats up...me and Blue Bomber today were going to get my oil changed and we passed a honda dealership so we diecided to go take a close up look at the new civic Si .... well we ended up test driivng it wiht this really cool salesman that was like 28 yrs old and didnt care what we did to the car..first off he drove it off the lot to show us what he can do with it...i mean oit seemed to have a little bit of torque on the low end but once u got upo to the high rpms it opretty much dies..well anyway to start off the salesman basically dropped the clutcxh comin out of the parking lot and smoked the tires rigfht till redloine and chirped second pretty hard...then aftyer minutes of this guy beating on this car for us he told me to drive...so he told me to just basically (for lack or better words) beat the sh!t outa this car with aboiut 6 miles on it..so i did....btw i have no intension of buying one..i just wanted to see what the big deal was with these cars....well anyway this car is not a big contender anymore stock in the import scene ..untill maybe about 6 months from now when they havew huge after market for it...well this car off the line wasnt bad ..but i am pretty sure that a celica gt stock could pulkl pretty hard on a new Si .. the car handled like it looks..big and bulky and like it was a tiny mini van....well it leaned too much in the turns...and basically this car freakin sux bad compared to the last gen Si..i dont know what the hell those honda engineres were thinkin when they designed this car....well it is ugly as sh!t and the driving position felt like i was driving an SUV...i hate the shifter placement...i'd probably take a stupid focus SVT over this car anyday...
well then after talkin with the salesman for a little more and showing him my car he decided to try and get me to buy an S2000 ..well this was the highlightr of my day..he told me to test drive and brand new S2000 that he had there becasue he had never driven one himself..well againm he told me to beat the heck outa this brand new car witha bout 3 miles on it....FYI i am only 20 years old..i didnt thinjk in a million years a salesman would let me drive an S2000..well anyway this car is amazing....that 9300 rpm fuel cutoff is great and the shifter is silky as ummm.(insert your own dirty word) well anyway after he told me to pass the dealership and keep going with this car..he was teling me to get on it opretty hard to see what that thing can do and this car moves...it handeld excellent and drove really smoothe on the highway and still handeld like a finly tuned sports car.... at 6000 rpm the lift doesnt really kick in like the celica's buit it is there a little biut hat u can feel..it gets up to sped pretty quick..i got it up to 115 and the salesman was lovin it...blue bomber was man becasue he had to sit in the dealership and watch me have fun because its only sa 2 seater...thre salesman told chris to come back and test drive it another time...lol this day was great...basically civic Si= old honda ideas from 1976 and S2000= amazing finely tuned sports car...i've driven alot of top end sports car like lotus esprit's and ferraris..and this car definitely didnt feel like it had that $32,000 price tag on it...
well sorry for the long story but i am just amazed why this salesman let me drive any car i wanted to on the lot...maybe becasue i told him that i would be paying in cash...oh yeah he took me for a ride in one of those hybrid cars too..they are really cool....i think id rather have one of those instead of the Si....my advise..dont even look at the new Si's and take any chance u get to drive an S2000....
sorry this is soo long...
