Yea the 2000 Si redlines around 8,000 whereas the 2002 Si redlines around 6,800. But the '02 is quicker off the line and pulls steady through all gears. You can't feel or really hear the VTEC kick in when you get into the higher end of each gear. However, you can feel and hear the VTEC kick in on the '00 around 5000 or so.

I think that's the real difference. These are the only two Hondas I have driven (except my '89 Prelude Si) extensively in the past 2 years.

It's just higher end speed as opposed to a quicker pull in the early gears between the latest two Si models.

Just my 2 cents.
