I've driven the Si as well, and I liked the shifter feel a lot. It was really conducive to keeping your hands on the steering wheel. Very comfotable positioning. as for power, it was boring. period. It revved out, but you got nothing back for all your revving. The Type-S engine is SOOO much better. you acctually still get that nice pull at 6000 rpm all the way to redline. The si felt slow, and annoying, the RSXS actually gives you something for revving it out. That is a fun car to drive. I still like the torque of the 240. She's my love. I just wish I could get real power out of her at 7k rpm. Shifting at 6k is kinda disappointing sometimes. But then I'll just get her sideways makeing a left hand turn, and start to smile again. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='
