vs. RSX

Integra's and ludes
..... just thought I'd offer the little bit of Acura/Honda comparison I have....
I saw an RSX-S recently on the highway; from what I could see, he was impressively quick from 50-80 m.p.h. I didn't try to race but, I think he wanted to. I test drove a normal RSX and felt it was sort of hollow feeling. It wasn't quick but, adequate for most driving. I also found it bland in a lot of ways. To me it wasn't more refined than the MSP. However, any Acura dealer is generally better than most Mazda dealers. Plus, the RSX normal version is in the low 20's... which is more than what I paid out the door for the MSP.
On another note, with my totally stock, pre-flash MSP, I repetitively beat a brand new Prelude at the track if I didn't do anything completely stupid. His 1/8th mile times were about .1-.5 slower than mine on average.
He was a consistent driver, every run was in the low 10's. My runs varied greatly sometimes because I was practicing launch styles. But, generally I was in the high 9's.
I've raced older Integra's and won similarly... I don't know if I'v ever seen an actual 'type r'... I've seen so many with lot of different 'R' stickers. I think I saw a Cavalier 'Type R' today. LOL

NO! A Stock Type-S and ITR are about the same performance wise. But both Type-S and Type-R own the MSP anything over 90+mph. That will change with a Boost controller.LOL

Thats 4th at 8600rpm
told ya their gears are fsckin long as hell..Thats not an evo wing.. Its the DC5 Type-R... or a replica.
The gears are not that long eather.. If you watch the video in my sig the second car is a Hondata RSX-S doing a short 2-3 or 3-4 gear pull. The RSX is only in there for a few seconds but it gives you an idea...
edit- Yeah watch my movie...
