The car feels different, you don't get the torque a turbo car would, but a lot of people seem to really enjoy it

yeah, I think blue rocket owned an Evo before his si...

But I can just say that honda N/A power is unlike anything else. It is great, you will love it no matter what. Maybe it isn't as fast out of the gate, but it is fun as hell to drive

Evo's aren't louder than an SI. You can hear the turbo whine over everything... My SI is worlds louder than my friend's stock evo 9 mr, especially in vtec.

But yeah you won't miss the turbo neon too much, we do have vtec which can be compared to boost beacuse it really bolts the car foward.

it isn't as fast as your previous car though.

true.. the turbo chokes the exhaust.. that's what you end up hearing most (spool up)... now you put a 3" catback on an EVO and they are loud as hell.. not so much stock though

you'll get used to it.

went from a turbo'ed B20/Vtec to NA B20/V and i hated it at first but it grew on me. i still love boosted cars but the Si is a great daily drive.

Hey Man I had a 06 Gti and a Turbo'd 300whp Scion tC. I like those cars especially the tC but there just something about honda's. By the way I have a 07 Civic Si Sedan Galaxy Gray with Injen CAI and Hondata relfash. I love it.
