I think a lot of times the calculators is so off because the torque band is so different in all cars. I won't be surprised if this car doesn't hit 0-60 in low 6's or high 5's. But if it came with 200hp/180tq with a flat torque curve then I can easily believe high 5's and low 6's. The civic Si gain a lot of low end torque with the same output and it is slightly quicker in numbers than the last gen. It also feels better during daily driving because of the added mid range.
