so.. apparently.. in bone stock form this new si makes 188whp
EDIT added link to dyno sheet

and if i read this thread correctly the focus ST makes 123whp stock?

ummm.. who friggin cares if it buzzes a bit when you rev to 8000rpm? it has 65 more whp and i bet shorter gearing as well.

i dunno you guys.. on one hand i agree a civic si isn't the best use of 30k but..
1) last time i checked 123whp < 188whp
2) it is pretty friggin rude to tell someone their brand new car is a POS.. can't you just thank them for the drive and keep that sh!t to yourself?

1) Don't know where in this thread you got the the ST had 123WHP, it's more towards 135-138 from dynos you can find at FS.

2) A Civic Si that is rated at 197 BHP (ie directly from Honda's site) can't have 188 WHP. And at the same time you believe a 151 BHP Focus ST has only 123 WHP. Unless you feel Ford has special dispensation when it comes to mechanical advantage.

Don't know where you got the dyno sheet from, might be good if you cited a source, or at least post a dyno sheet with the specs of the tested car on it (ie. CAI, cams, whatever). That could be a go cart dyno for all we can tell.
