The TT will not, however walk all over a 99-00 Si. That I find funny given the price differences.

Oh...I thought we were talking about his 94 EX. Where did this other civic come into play? And you talk about price difference. If I had bought the 180, I wouldn't have bought it for just speed. I could have bought a used Viper with 30K miles for the same price as our 225, but it would have been a hell of a lot faster. What is extra special funny to me, is that a brand new honda accord (yes we did look) with all the extra goodies that the TT already has such as leather, premo stereo, etc will cost only $2000 less than our TT cost. BTW.. here is a sight from CAR AND DRIVER that tested a 180 FRONT WHEEL DRIVE TT.. here ya go:
Aside from slight torque steer -- eliminated, of course, in the Quattro version, which offers all-wheel drive and a 225-hp version of the 1.8-liter, 20-valve four-cylinder -- there is little to complain about. Even 180 horsepower makes for an invigorating experience, with a 0-to-60-mph time of 7.2 seconds and a quarter-mile time of 15.7 seconds at 89 mph. The last front-drive TT coupe we tested ran from 0 to 60 mph in 6.9 seconds and did the quarter in 15.6 seconds at 90 mph. Likely the roadster's extra 240 pounds made the difference. (That weight difference is according to our own electronic scales -- Audi says an identically equipped roadster weighs just 144 pounds more than the coupe.)

And just for your information the 180 quattro does the 1/4 .2 faster than the FWD, so if you do the math that would be 15.6-.2=15.4. I believe that is faster than 16.2... but just in case let's do the math. 16.2-15.4= .8 faster. Well, I will be damned.
As for the 99-00 civic, the 2000 April issue of Sport Compact Car reported the Si 0-60 at 7.9 and the 1/4 at 15.9.. ouch. Here is another site that confirms those same times, except the 0-60 is 7.95:
