today after work i was cruising home playing with a RSX. we finally got a chance to race. we both shifted down and started out at ~40 ( i was in 2nd). we both pinned it and it was pretty close but by 70 i had 1-2 lengths on him. then we let off.

his car was a new, stock (manual tranny)
my car:
header and straight exhuast
true CAI
short throw
ignition
emissions and rats nest removal
full interior, cooler,backpack...etc etc

i was kinda surprised, i thought i would lose. if everyone didnt see my post before, i also pulled a few lengths on a acura tl type S. not bad for an NA

 

Hmm, seems like you didnt encounter a great driver. My ex had a Type S with a few bolt ons and she could take most S2k's.

 

i checked quarter mile times and it says 14.8 ish which is about the same as a stock T2. and my car is running slightly faster than a local tii that is stock.

 

i call bad driver, not saying that your car isnt fast, but i know how type S are spose to be. First hand experience.

 

what have you seen them run?

 

i think they run about a 14.9 stock, but im not sure.

they can say all they want about the acura bein faster but i know the gears are shorter in the acura and they have less torque, but power is about 200hp stock so it would be a really good race for a well tuned /fixed up and good driven na rx7

 

i have lost to a 2004 mustang GT with exhuast and not sure what else in the 1/4 mile by about 3 lengths. beat a acura TL type S by about 3 lengths in the 1/4. and now beat this type S rsx by about 1-2. i have also beat a few older mustang GTs (like 94-98), and jetta wolfenburg edition (turbo). and newer integra with the vtec (modded) by a few lengths also. this should give something to compare my car too.

 

They have more torque then 99% of stock port NA's though?

My ex's ran a 14.2 with great driving. She was quite good with the hands .

 

cuz ran 14.8 bone stock at a high elevation area. (Palmdale Ca.)

 

Yeah thats definatly a bad driver. I have the mods you have plus way more. I personaly know 2 people with acura type-s's and they destroy me once i shift to third...But good luck racing one of the good drivers..

 

my cousin owns one. Ive seen it run plently of times and ran him alot of times. Car is in sig, and we are even till he shifts to 5th. But he does have hondata, race headers, and an intake.

 

Same power as the Type R integra. Can't be any faster then a 14.8 am I right? Looks to me that they are evenly matched and poster beat him fair and square being the better driver.

 

integra type R is 195 hp and 130 tq. 05 RSX s has 210 and 145tq. but iVtec on the RSX really helps, which is why rsx's reaspond better to mods vs s2000's

 

Actually the S2k is pretty well tuned from the Factory and not alot of its **** is restrictive.

 

Bottom line say what you want but he was dragracing, and yes it takes skill, so even it he was in a slower car, doesnt mean he wont win, props for keeping at the track and not on public roads. Nice kill.

 

if S2000 is better tuned then i guess rsx has a better engine because with simple bolt ons its faster than a s2000.

 

IMO I would take the s2k, simply because FWD mods are a waste IMO. Hooking is far better that spinning!!!

 

It doesn't, think about what you said.

S2000 = tweaked very well from the factory, alot of parts are NOT restrictive.

RSX Type S = Tweaked well but with alot of room for improvement, a full second slower then the S2k STOCK.

And I haven't seen a RSX really beat up on any S2K, my ex's didn't do too bad against my friends S2K (drivers). But where do you get that ****? I haven't seen a RSX with "basic" bolt ons really beat up on ANY S2K's.

 

Btw, I trapped an 88 at the track and just raced a RSX Type S (Hondata, Injen CAI, Mugen header (I think) and got walked by 4 cars from a stop up to 80.

My ex kicked my ***.

 

yea FWD launch sucks, but from 30+ roll rsx's are pretty quick, quicker then u think. And acually the RSx motor is actually because Rsx engines make more lets say 230 whp easier then s2k motors, they are favored more. THIS IS A BASIC FACT. also they cost much less.
check these out.

first vid dont know mods.

sry for the shitty links. im not hating on s2k or anything. i'll take an s2000 over rsx anyday!

 

Street races? I'm sure that alot of that incorporates the drivers ability. Local guy had a supercharged RSX Type S running mid 14's ^_^.

Quicker then I think? Did I mention I dated a girl with a RSX Type S with the mods in those videos you are talking about.

They aren't favored more, that just your opinion.

Not a fact either, you're just stating your opinion.

They cost less sure, big deal? Ever drive either of the cars?

 

The RSX used to get much better power gains from mods. Tuners have finally cracked the S2k engines and people are starting to see some great gains from simple n/a bolt-ons. The only trade-off is that you sacrifice even more low end power and you pay big $$ for those parts, but nobody buys an S2k for the cheapness or low end anyways. There is always the F/I route as well, but that's a whole different game(isn't there some 800whp S2k somewhere?). There's also the whole RWD > FWD thing that someone mentioned earlier. Let's not even get into the handling characteristics of the two cars.

 

hahaha, yes i have. My cousin has a RSX type S, and my Bud has a s2k, and another has a s2k turbo. So maybe i have some experiense? Thats great ur GF drove one, love when girls drive a manual car. and if their not quicker than u thougt, why the RSX win almost all the races? If one with a supercharged rsx gets mid 14, i just dont know wat to say, its hopeless. with just CAI my cuz got mid 14's. AND its NOT MY OPINION, K20 is prob one of the BEST N/A 4 cylinders around. thats why they pop them is Elises, EXiges, ect. replacing the toyota engine. NOT my opinions or my cousins. Im no 4 cyl fan, ima rotor fan, nor trying to sell a k20. I know much about them and thats it.

 

Good kill.

 

Like I said those races you showed are "hardly" fair, I have a video of me pulling a GSX with modifications, big deal? Because the ****** couldn't drive. Those videos are pointless then.

I'm done with this, it isn't going no where and making little sense.

Good times then.
