Si salesman mad!

Yesterday, i turned off traction control for the first time... 1st gear was insane, driving at 5mph then flooring it and the wheels just light up... shifting from 1st to 2nd was a wheel spinning extravaganza. Then of couse, i turned the traction control back on because tires aren't cheap and i don't need to be abusing my poor fast like that

;D ;D

I've spun the wheels in third with the ESP off.

I love that chirp I get when I hit third hard. Pure torque.

I love my new GTI, which I got to replace my 2007 Si due to tranny trouble that Honda wouldn'tr admit to...But I have to tell you, the Si is faster in some conditions and handles a little better. The LSD in the Si made a big difference. It had plenty of power for the way the car was set up. And I hate to admit it because I'm really pissed at Honda and will never buy another one.

Now, the GTI may be a better car all around-not sure. We have definitely have more torque to go faster in a straight line. But GTI is heavier, too.

Just my two cents, as someone who's had both.

the si really is a piece of sh%t. It has nothing to offer.

I have cro cop power in the legs sir, Fedor power in the hands

Look dudes- I like the GTI better, too. I got rid of the Si and got a GTI. But the fact is, the GTI does not blow the SI out of the water. The GTI may have certain things that we like better- much more torque, DSG option and other things.

"..where the Si crushed the VW GTI by 1.56 seconds around the 1.58-mile course."

All I'm saying is, it's a very good car, too. It's a shame about it's 3rd gear problem that pissed off so many owners like me and that's why I'm much happier with my GTI.
