mmmm.. since i only know a handful of people with NAs close to me who dont know, can someone tell me how they faired (with an NA) against an RSX typeS on the hwy?

They only run high 14.9 and have to be really wound up to get the full benefit of their engine. Driver plays a key role in this department.

14.9 isn't so bad for a stock sport compact.

I like the RSX, personally, even if it is made by THAT company. Got to sit in one at the last autoshow up here. :) Like it. :)

I worked at an Acura/Subaru dealer for a couple months, and got a good amount of seat time in the RSX and WRX. Most of the time I spent in the RSX's were on the highway, doing dealer trades and the like around Denver. At this altitude, the Acura felt like it had quite the pull compared to my FC. The pull in the top end is suprising, so much so that I'd hit redline before I could look down at the tach to see when to shift. At the same rpm, my FC starts to wheeze.

I guess my point is: yes, it's quicker than my n/a
Would I take one and keep it if given? Absolutely

Not qicker than mine...Im running around 14.8-9.

In case anyone is wonering, an attractive blonde in an RSX type S won't keep up with my modded TII...although it was closer than it should have been. ;) I sure miss driving my car.

I recently purchased an Acura Integra LS 1997 model over the weekend. I can definately feel a difference between the two. The Acura seems to be alot quicker, but I still love my rex.

If a acura integra LS feels faster than your 2nd gen, THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG with your rexy..........TRUST ME!!
