It would be a drivers race. The SI has a modified version of the RSX Type S engine which ouputs slightly less (197hp in the SI to 210hp in the RSX) horsepower due to better emissions controls. Both are 6 speed manuals with the same compression ratio. The RSX has a slight advantage in the torqe department, which is only at a higher rev anyways, so on that platform they are about dead even. The Si has a curb weight of 2877lbs whereas the RSX Type S is 2790. Not a big advantage but one to be noted none the less. In overall specs the RSX Type S has the slight advantage and on paper would be the favorite.
Like I said earlier, it would really be a drivers race. No matter which wins I'd take an RSX Type S over the Civic Si anyday.... but hey that's just my opinion.
