i was thinking of get 99-00 SI OR A 00-01 GSR .MODDING IS A 4SURE HING.WHICH WOULD BE THE BETTER CHOICE . ILIKE BOTH OF THE SYLES DONT NOW WHAT TO CHOOSE HOPEING FOR SOME INPUTS.

gsr has much better performance, and will respond better to bolt-ons. si is sexier, and a lot cheaper. most people would say go with the gsr, i say si FTW!

Depends on prices/conditions. GSR is a better engine to start off with.

CALC!_JUST_du_IT!

One thing to consider is that the gsr is more likely to get jacked. So, either get an Si, or pack your **** and move up here to NORCAL!

I KNOW I CURRNTLY OWN A GSR EG HATCH I VANT LEAVE THAT OUT IN THE OPEN

I gotta think an Si is right up there on the "please steal me scale" with a gsr. Find the best deal you can get on an Si, the best deal you can get on a GSR, THEN come back and ask this question.

They are just as fast as each other stock. IMO the only leg up the GSR has on the Si besides the extra 0.1L of engine is the leather interior. The GSR motor will respond to bolt-ons slightly better though.

I love my Si, so I'll say Si, just make sure it's not an EPB one, those like to disappear.

Get the GSR, looks better IMO and you'll be happier with the engine. And a GSR has more comfortable seats I would say.

so stock vs stock who would win

GSR by a hair. But I still like the Si better .

stock99si

if u shift .1 second faster than gsr ull take him with the si. but even drivers, gsr would barley win...barley. that could be fixed with a imple i/h/e mod

devney

The GSR still has a little more kick to it though. That's what I like about it. Even though I have a b16 lol

CALC!_JUST_du_IT!

First of all, barley is a grain. Second, NO BENCH RACING! The GSR is faster. Just get whatever car suits you better, or whichever you can get a better deal on. Both have great potential.

Personally I like the 99-00 Si.. great looking civic. Never really did like integras, but still a nice car. I say the style of the Si is better. Go with whatever car comes as a better deal to you.

the gsr isn't "barely" faster
its faster by a few car lengths

personally, i think you should take the bus.

ifIexplode

Get whatever you want.
If you want opinions, youve come to the right place.
My opinion id get the GSR.
And good luck finding one that hasnt been raped already.

Wrong! This was taken from edmunds.com

I don't think one tenth of a second to 60mph equals a "few car lengths."

Nashville

depends on what kind of car it goes into also. and the gsr will take mods better than the b16

.PLUMMM

Just as everyone has said above, it all about what you like. The GSR will respond a bit better on the i/h/e combination because the motor has a bit more torque to start off with. Im an si fan so i say EPB si! but really its all about what you like. Fact of the matter is, you will like either choice

Wrong. They both run 1/4 miles in the 15.5-15.7 range.

not another "which motor is better thread". it's all the same, SEARCH!!!!!!!

smileycvc

Your best bet would be to buy a civic whatever body style you like and swap a GSR or whatever into it. If you buy an Si it will get stolen and you will be disappointed with the performance. If you get the GSR it will just get stolen. It is the nubmer one stolen car in america for the past few years.

speedooo

i think theres been 3 ebp si's reported stolen in the last 2 weeks on here...4dr gsr's are stealth, id rock one
