What would win in a race? the Acura has a few bolt ons (intake, cat-back).
 
hell even if your a bad driver you should take him,

they are only 200hp, few bolt ons maybe 210

You got 260/280tq if you lose, You didnt try
 
you could have 5 people in the car, groceries in the trunk, and one arm tied behind your back, and still win.

If he's stock, no contest.
 
what is the potential of the rsx-s though? I know i could go and look in their forums, but i am wondering if anybody have friends that drive an RSX- S and spend no more than 3K in performance mods and got good and note worthy results?

an rsx-s is like a 15 sec car with bolt ons ! the ms3 does 14.2 on a bad day and one aussie owner had hown consecutive 13.9 passes ...all stock.
 
i say it would be a good race because a bolt-on rsx-s is definently a 14 sec. car. If the rsx is tuned well, it could take the speed3...
 
Let's change the situation... I will have a CAI and a turbo-back exhaust by the time the race happens... The guy won't have anything else done, and he does not know how to tune...

And also, stock MS3 vs RSX-S, from roll, who would win?

Its bugging me because these people say that my car is so much slower, and they have no idea...
 
Your gonna **** em.

Ur seriously are going to win.....people just hear stupid things and believe it cause the hype is so big with the MS3 right now people want it to fail. I wouldnt worry bout it so much....

About a year ago I raced a type-S in my Speed @ 8psi with just a cutout, everything else stock. I had a car on em, but nobody really pulled away.....pretty much the same for the SC Cobalt SS, both from rolls. I have no doubt in my mind, U WILL WIN.

Just dont suck at driving :)
 
Type S has 210hp stock. best mod for them is a supercharger the k20 makes 300hp easy. But yeah the MS3 should difinately win the RSX-S with bolt ons' should make more than about 218hp.
 
MS3 has about a million more tq than the acura and gobs more hp. MS3 will dust an RSX-S even if the RSX has a few mods. Once third gear hits adios vtec.

yes, i've ***** a couple rsx's, & tsx's at 4psi. but anyways

One of my best friends has an 02 RSX S, and he spent about 3K on a Cybernation turbo kit and just recently dynoed at 366hp@9-9.5psi.

they're really neat cars, i'd drive one.
 
try to get a vid, and get ready for the stories. You jumped, you were hustling me, you....you.....you....cheated. They will be very upset if they dont know whats gonna hit em. Cant wait to see this story transfered to the street battles and kills section. Post the story asa u kill em.
 
Didn't they lower the RSX-s hp down to 200hp? Come to think of it they lowered a few of hondas hp rating down about 10hp.
 
ok at first, i thoght you had a msp. I raced one bone stock, he had at least exhaust and I shifted like s*** and was basically flooring it. We were neck and neck even with his vtec screaming. Now i was STOCK.

You have a MS3, come on bro, you really shouldnt even waste ur time racing that s***. Race something with a turbo.

You would anal **** him.

Depends on the year the newer ones had more.

"Two 2.0-liter, dual-overhead-cam four-cylinder engines have been available in the RSX. Base models used a 160-horsepower version, while the Type-S got a 200-horsepower variant, which grows to 210-hp in 2005. Only a six-speed manual gearbox came with the Type-S......"
