NA verse acura RSX type S
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

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.

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

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..

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.

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.

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.

second vid. rsx has hondata, exhaust, intake, tires,

third vid. rsx has hondata, Race headers, and intake.

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

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.

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