I know Honda is making VSA standard on 2007 Civic Sis, but it'll be defeatable with an on/off switch on the dash. My 2006 Si won't have it! OMG! Panic! ::Calvin::

how do you get an si to oversteer? Mandatory e-brake controller?

Word is that the new Si is considerably more neutral than your average front-driver. The old ITR would rotate its tail rather easily, and that's the car the Si keeps getting compared to, so who knows?
But jeez, people, if it's raining or you're on an unfamiliar road -- SLOW DOWN!

Yeah, the RSX is pretty neutral too. The first time I got the rear-end out, I was pretty surprised. I'm wanting a rear sway to get it to rotate a little more.
The RSX is pretty stable. But it take a littles to get used to the crappy Michelins.
lift off oversteer. My jetta did it bad. You still have to be a moron to wreck a fwd car like that. Perfect for the average ricer.
I hope you're not trying to start something.::StirTheP Because there is a certain suspension thread that comes to mind.......Quote:

Besides, hp/L is a pretty silly metric anyway.
How about foot-pounds?Quote:

The move comes just days before the federal government is expected to propose a rule requiring that all passenger vehicles sold in the U.S. be equipped with stability control. Phase-in of such a rule would take at least three years.
That's right. Why mandate smarter drivers (through more rigorous driver's education and more stringent test requirements), when we can just legislate smarter cars? :banghead:Quote:
