Honda Civic SI

The Honda Civic SI reaches 60 mph in 6.50 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.99 s, tripping the lights at 93.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.46 s and the eighth mile in 9.74 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Civic SI

The 2006 Honda Civic SI is a front-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 1,330 kg with 194 bhp, which works out at 146 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.46 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 2,198th quickest to 60 mph, and the 21st quickest of the 41 Hondas here. Its 93.8 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Honda Civic SI 0-60 time?
The Honda Civic SI reaches 60 mph in 6.50 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,198th quickest of the 2,929 cars in the set.
What is the Honda Civic SI quarter mile time?
14.99 s at 93.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.74 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.46 s.
How much power does the Honda Civic SI have?
194 bhp and 1,330 kg, which is 146 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 230 km/h.
What cars are comparable to the Honda Civic SI?
Closest here on pace: Lancia Kappa Coupe (6.49 s), Kia Ceed GT 1.6T GDI Mk II (6.37 s), Kia Pro Ceed GT Mk II (6.40 s). Each one can be raced against the Honda Civic SI in the panel at the top of this page.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Honda Civic SI is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 9 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-09-01. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
