You don't buy an IS 250 to race. Its not that car. FYI the Mugen Civic got slightly worse times in Road and Track than a stock Si.
I couldn't consider being in a Civic if I was past 7 years old, I don't care how fast it is. The stigma of it smells. Half of them in Atlanta are 1/2 painted or dented with HID 10k kits or bulbs trying to race with no signals every day.
Its for children.

The modding bug never ends no matter what it does to the car

Um yeah... didn't read much on the follow up but I hope you IS250 hopefuls know that the Mugen Civic and Civic Si has the SAME AMOUNT of power. The Mugen Civic just has a few parts on it with a nice price tag.
I still don't get what you guys are debating about here... seems like a lot of gibberish.
Stock Mugen Civic/Si > IS2slo when it comes to performance (stock and modded equally)
Looks IS250 > Mugen Si
As for drivers who got a GS350 instead of a GS430/GS460... same reasons as others have stated. I got it because it had BIGGER cabin room and a REAL backseat for guest riding outback. Plus I sold my civic to get a nicer car, given I did all the **** I wanted to it so the speed and racing phase was over for me. Hum... makes me thing, the money I spent in mods could have got a 460... oh well looks before gas guzzling and speed and blah blah blah
I love stirring up the pot! I actually knew you guys were going to get all uptight over the comment too. lol

alot goes through my mind when i read this topic, i understand your point about this vs that, but lets get serious here a IS or a SI, not same platform of vehicle.
IS250 is slow yes but we didnt buy the 250 for that , it was for the look of the car.
It sounds like you want the most bang for you buck, then i would get the SI, but if you want a classier looking car, and not have people assume your a 17 year kid then get the IS.
Personally i think the TSX or TL has more to offer than a stock 250 but once again it all comes down to looks of the exterior.

who differnt ball park, the civic isnt even in the lexus class. luxury vs rice. u want to compare similar cars like llama said. c300 vs is250 vs tsx.
civic vs rsx vs mazda 3 etc
even if its faster what exactally are you trying to prove ? or find out? just look at stats and specs . compare those you should get the answer your looking for.

^^ Exactly, if you really want speed and luxury, get 350. If you can't save up. If you are too lazy to save up, then stop complaining.
