I read in a review that the 0-60 time is significantly better in the SI coupe than in the sedan (like half a second), is this true? They both have the same motor and the sedan is supposedly only 60 lbs heavier, so why would it be that much slower?

By the way I just got a silver SI sedan tonight

 

Not likely. The cars are virtually identical sans a small weight and wheelbase difference. What was the review?

 

In motortrend they tested the Mugen Si and it was 1 tenth slower 0-60 and the 1/4 mile compared to the coupe they drove.

Im sure they are pretty close to identical. The mugen sedan is like 87lbs more because of the extra body cladding etc.

 

I know people who write reviews and do testing for various magazines. Sometimes depending on how many people have received these test vehicles, many of the cars have already taken a beating from previous testing. Sometimes the clutch is worn, brakes are fried or even need new tires.

 

I got the info from here: http://www.automobilemag.com/r....html

"In our tests, the sedan, which is 59 pounds heavier than the coupe, took 7.4 seconds to reach 60 mph, versus 6.7 seconds for the coupe."

I got worried there for a second xD Thanks for telling me its not true! Loving my new SI <3

 

You'll get variying opinnions....read one magazine and the Coupe is faster read another and the Sedan is faster...I don't think it's enough where it would matter that much.
