i own a 05 spec v. it has decent power and great torque. i think its the torque that makes the car great. i love the civic si especially the 99 body but i just ended up getting the spec instead. if i could do it again, id get the 99 si for sure. the only bad thing about the spec is the interior is not all to great. if people want something different to fix up, i would say the spec is a good alternative to the civic, bc there are alot of civics out on the streets.

the only thing that makes the spec-v *ok* not great is that it can be had for ~15k
the spec-v has literally no aftermarket support, and the items it gets brake other parts(B&M shifter). The seats are nice. I probably had one of the fastest minimal modded spec-vs and it was only a mid 14 seconds...
