According to the popular car mags(C&D, MT), they are damn near i-forking-dentical. And you'd think people on this forum drink the "you can't talk shit about MY purchase" kool-aid?...sheeit. Virtually zero difference, the driver will dictate the winner every single time in either twin or Si variant.

We believe the car mags numbers when we like the numbers, but disregard them when we don't. That seems to be a common theme on car forums.
I read a couple posts after your quote from that forum and the ignorance is fucking astronomical there. Here's a quote "10.34 seconds for 0-60. Those guys sucked for sure, but 10-12 seconds 0-60 is awesome for a Toyota..." I couldnt stop laughing.
