^ the rsx does not weight anywhere near 2400 pounds it's in the 2800 area. I have an rsx-s and I have beat a 350z before from a stop up to about 80 3 times in a row and won every race by a fender. That was with hondata #4, aem cai, falken azenis sports tires, motor mounts and exhaust. I now have a dc race header which I felt I gained a good amount of power out of. But yeah the car has no torque what so ever especially when you compare it to a Z and is also boring as hell to drive. My moms explorer is more fun to drive! RWD

exactly, the rsx is almost 2800 lbs. One of the reasons the rsx doesnt have very quick times stock is the type of tires it comes with. All season pilots are not exactly drag tires.

Humorous (to me )Anti RSX RANT :
holy crap.......ok........cough.......clear throat. I owned a type-s for 8 months/32,000 miles. We'll call it "project M"........M, for moneypit. I modded the holy hell out of it. Biglou, what in the hell were you doing 9k rpms on your stock rods, cams, springs, retainers, etc? You're just asking for trouble.....not to hurt your feelings jdm, but your racing header didn't help you much. Pussies, strapping all this crap on your engine; but never cracking open the brains.
Anywho, I did.........and with toda, eagle, and various other parts on my side, proper tuning and iffy #'s on the dyno; I took it out on the street. I got my *** handed to me by a good friend's stock 99 m3.........and I drove the **** out of that poor car. I'm not new to this folks. Long story short, bye bye rsx, hello Z. Lost 4 grand on the trade in, broke even on the parts, and never looked back. So, please, sleep easy. Just don't try shifting gears with your *** crack and you should be fine. Also, could you please stop it with this racing from a roll 15 year old ***** ricer crap. Grow a pair, take it to a track and do it right. Or, do it at a stoplight and run over babies and puppies and crap. I don't care. I swear, this world's turning into one big giant super *****. If your car has no torque, and is slow as poo from a dead stop......deal with it crotchbreath. The rest of the world isn't going to conform to your car's power band to make you feel good.
And for christ sakes, please stop it with the, "my car's fast but it has like no torque, but its still blazing fast at 13,000 rpms on stock cams" crap. As a former honda enthusiast who learned the hard way with several vehicles, I know you're full of crap; and you're making me ill. And please, by god, dyno your vehicles at the same dyno after each mod. Trust me, you'll slit your throat when you see the numbers compared to the $$ you shelled out. You'd have been better off sitting on a bicycle with no seat. Same results, but cheaper.
I tell you what, if you're still wasting your time reading this, here's what the Z owner should do. Ignore it. RSX's aren't worth your time. Tell him to go race a scion. In the meantime, chill in the driveway with some tunes and put a fresh coat of carnuba on the Z. Later you can give him advice on how to fix his speeding ticket.
I feel better now, don't you? hehe

Why is this topic being entertained. No matter how many mods you put on an RSX-S w/o F/I will never beat a Z. If the driver of an RSX-S manages to beat the driver of the Z, it was the driver he/she beat and not the car. Point blank! RSX-S will need F/I to beat a Z period!
