I love the way the car handles. It goes decently fast (with a 90mph tail wind).

It can still be made to have WELL over 400 wheel horse power on boost.

I would say P5 over the old Hatchback Si's, but I would get the new Si over a P5 though!

Agreed with the others that quoted this quoteable quote:

The P5 is a brilliant chassis with the worst modern 2.0l engine EVER. 95 whp, huge dips in the powerband, rough idle, and glass rods.

I think that's enough of the word quote for now.

I can't b**** about the motor in the P5 too much... I will admit that it needs a bit of modification to be competitive with anything more than the average Civic, but it's not as bad as it could be.
