I was checking out a 2007 Civic Si today and it occured to me, that it was very much like the 2000 Ford Contour SVT that I used to LOVE. Let's take a loot at some basic specs:
Doors
SVT: 4
Si: 4
Engine
SVT: 2.5L V6 NA
Si: 2.0L I4 NA
HP
SVT: 200
Si: 197
Torque
SVT: 169 ft-lb
Si: 138 ft-lb
Fuel Economy
SVT: 18 mpg / 27 mpg / 21 mpg
Si: 23 mpg / 32 mpg / 22.5 mpg
Curb Weight
SVT: 3126 lbs
Si: 2945 lbs
Wheelbase
SVT: 106.5"
Si: 106.3"
The SVT has more torque and the Civic has less curb weight. I have not yet driven the Civic, but they seem like the same car. Has anyone driven both?
