Quickshift 6 ::: 2006 Honda Civic Si

Honda has gained the respect of tuners and been one of the most sought after brand names in recent years. The Honda Civic is by no surprise the "tuner's choice" when selecting a car to modify, thanks in part to heavy support from the aftermarket industry. For all those tuners, things just got a lot better… In 2006, Honda hit a home run by infusing their racing heritage to produce what we see as the best Civic ever. How does a close-ratio race inspired 6 speed tranny connected to a limited slip sound? Match that up with a K20 i-VTEC engine that will redline at 8000 RPM… whoa! Package it all in an aerodynamic body with looks that kill and you've got the stuff that dreams are made of. As Honda puts it… "The Power of Dreams." The new Si takes the Civic platform to a whole new level in performance, handling, and safety. Four wheel disc brakes bring all that speed to a quick stop and you've got a choice of 17 or 18 inch wheels wrapped in Michelin tires.

Slip into the ergonomic driver's seat and you'll notice a fresh upgrade for 2006. A two-tier instrument panel gives the pilot a heads up on equipment operations. We think the new Si is as sweet inside as it looks outside. It's got the best looks and performance to match. Let all 197 horses loose… the most ever in a stock Civic. If that doesn't float your boat, there will be a list of aftermarket suppliers to help you build the Civic of your dreams. No other car is more tunable or has more factory support when it comes to making modifications.

The black Civic Si in our pictures is sporting 18" HFP wheels.
