both engine are cool
i drove the camry, tc both still fast of course the tc makes the engine faster because of manual option
i also drive the si and rsx type s both still fast cars, but i think all of these cars of around the same speed
you cant really say the si is fast and the tc is slow because its all drivers at times the tc will be in the lead and others the si

si is faster....and yea tc's are deff looked down upon unless they r boosted.....but yes a k20 engine does outperform a camry....i cant wait 4 the new tc...hopefully the put a real engine in it....one that is considered fast not quick cuz thats all the tc is quick not fast....even the si...quick....fast is 350z ____ u kno....even then u still gotta worry bout real sport cars....but i dont like to compare the 2 because a v12 is naturally going to run 10's you dont expect that from a l4 or even a v6
I raced one the other night, and he was like 5 cars infron of me untill I left him behind by a lot too bad I waited for him to race againg being an idiot and won againg but ended up a huge hill and messing my car . I dont know if it was the driver that didnt know how to drive but my stock tc won twice .
Ps. NO MORE RACING FOR ME UNLESS ITS ON THE TRACKS

But between the two I'd go with the civic SI. Turbo"ing a car that didn't come form the factory like that can be a PITA.
I am happy to run a turbo SI 
And for the guy that was bashing tc trannies, a lot of 06-07 SI trannies just got recalled.

Your opinion is your opinion, I have driven an SI recently, it was a very nice car. However I would take a used slightly modified tC over it anyday and come out a LOT cheaper. I bought my tC base for $16,500 new. it is an 06. You can get tC's all day long for $12-14K. Our motors just respond soooo well to boost. I am very pleased with the 2az.
