The miserly VX weighs the lightest with a 2,094-lb curb weight, with the CX not far behind at 2,108 lbs, the DX at 2,178 lbs and the Si weighing a portly 2,390 lbs. (The DX Coupe, by comparison, weighs in at 2,234 lbs, with the EX Coupe at 2,390 lbs.) The VX and CX are plastered with less sound-deadening materials than the DX or especially the Si. Otherwise, the difference in weight has to do with lighter wheels on the VX, lack of air conditioning and, on the DX, additional small items like an adjustable steering column, and cargo cover, so by buying any of those three models with plans to modify them, you are starting out on fairly equal ground.

Now, in case you think im lying, you can read it for yourself

I'm not trying to argue, but i do not see how a 75 pound GSR motor and a 35 pound bottle of NAAAWWWWWSSSSS add over 300 pounds to the car.


tack in a driver at like 190 and you get your answer on the PORTLY si coupe or IN MY COMPARO I SAID EX with the swap... THEREFORE 2390 190lb driver, 75 lb heavier motor and whatever the nAAAAAAWS runs and its a valid assumption
