The SVT does NOT have a supercharger...here you are trash talking the Contour and you don't even know what you're talking about?!? And exactly how do you "hear" NOS??
Yes that WAS a Civic Si in that video, a modded Si in fact. The SVT in question was modded too, but NO supercharger or NOS. If you don't believe me you can read all about it on the Contour.org forum at this address:
http://contour.org/forums/Forum15/HTML/000043.html The Civic Si is owned by infuryum ( a very cool Honda owner who posts fairly regularly in the Contour forums) and the SVT is owned by MY99SVT, a Contour.org moderator. You'll find mod lists for both of these cars at the above link.
OR if pride won't allow you to accept the written word at Contour.org you can ALSO read about this at the Club Si forum, through this link:
http://forums.clubsi.com/ubb/Forum4/HTML/005875.html And while we're at it, I thought I'd post some factual info regarding the SVT & Civic Si, since you've taken it upon yourself to tell us all just how slow the SVT is when compared to a Civic. The following tech info for the Civic comes from Motor Trend, and the SVT info comes from Car and Driver. Keep in mind these are published facts.
99 Civic Si:
0-60: 7.2 seconds
1/4 mile: 15.7 @88.4 MPH
HP: 160
Lateral accel: .8g
These stats can be seen directly from Motor Trend at this link:
http://www.motortrend.com/april99/civic/civic_f.html 99 SVT Contour
0-60 6.9 seconds
1/4 mile 15.4 @ 91 MPH
HP: 200
Lateral accel: .86 g's
These stats can be seen directly from Car and Driver at this link:

Yes, the Civic is close, and I'll be the first to say that I think the Si's are nice cars that run good. But the facts speak for themselves...the Civic Si is NOT quicker than the SVT. Now do you have anything to add CivicR1?
