The Srt-4's are pretty quick and its irritating. Ugly tho'. I haven't seen any exterior mods that make it any prettier.

i hate idiots. see having previously been a domestic guy (as of a month and a half ago), i always just figured that the two categories were imports, and domestics. now that i've gotten my z and i've started talking to some z, sti, supra, and evo owners, i've realized that the imports are in two classes. the guys with sti's, evo's, z's, and supras are intelligent with what they say. if we know we're in a slower car than the guy we're racing, we'll admit it and we wont talk ****. that's the same way that my domestic friends operate. but then you have the cars like rsx's, civics, eclipses (mostly 3rd gen eclipses because you can make the earlier ones damn fast for little $), lancers, and neons that are just ****in morons. their logic never makes any sense. they'll try and say that they have the superior cars when several tests done by tv shows and magazines show which car is clearly better. what cars do you see z's competing with on tv and in magazines? s2000's, boxsters, m3's, sometimes wrx's, and occasionally evos. what do you see rsx's compared to? a civic Si or some other Fwd car with low hp levels. they really need to start using their head because it really gets old.

explain to me how they think the rsx is better than a z based on these little numbers:
rsx type s:
Horsepower : 200 hp @ 7400 rpm('02-'04), 210 hp @ 7800 rpm('05+)
Torque : 142 lb-ft @ 6000 rpm('02-'04), 143 lb-ft @ 7000 rpm('05+)
Redline : 7900-8100 rpm

Top speed : 145 mph
0-60 mph : 6.7 sec.('02-'04), 6.5 sec.('05)
0-¼ mile : 15.2 sec @ 92.7 mph('02-'04)
60-0 braking distance : 135 ft
200 ft skidpad : 0.86 g

350z:
Horsepower : 287 hp @ 6200 rpm(auto/'03-'05 manual),
300 hp @ 6200 rpm('05-'06 manual)
Torque : 274 lb-ft @ 4800 rpm
Redline : 7000 rpm('05-'06 manual), 6550 rpm(auto/'03-'05 manual)

Top speed : 155 mph(electronically limited)
0-60 mph : 5.4 sec.('03 manual)
0-¼ mile : 14.1 sec @ 101.0 mph('03 manual)
60-0 braking distance : 119 ft
200 ft skidpad : 0.89 g

do you see a single area that would suggest the rsx is better? and also even relating to the brand, nissan has several nasty cars (z, skyline, ect). what does honda/acura have? nsx? that car was nice but rediculously expensive for what you were getting. the s2000? beaten by a z and not even close to a skyline. an rsx or a civic? rsx's arent fast and a civic is basically the first car that comes to mind when you think of stupid ricers

the rsx has what going for it? striaght line?no. corners? pretty good, but not better than the z, or an sti, or an evo. power?hell no. torque? not even gonna answer that one

sorry for the rant, but i really cant stand ricer retard pieces of ****

jealous, and my friend has an RSX type-s with headers exhaust chipped and a few other mods, and stock my 350 was blowing his doors off, these acura/honda idiots just talk a bunch of trash to make themselves feel better, the RSX is nicknamed the really slow xperience around here because it is just that.

why are we still arguing with them? It's pointless...who gives a **** if their modded RSX can keep up or beat a STOCK Z. Any modded car can be made fast. Look at it this way...ff they race a 350z with the same amount of mods (eg. rsx w/ i/e/h/tune VS. 350z w/ i/e/h/tune)...whos going to win?

Maybe we should post this to their site and see how are they going to debate this. That rsx is quick compare to alot of 4 banger out there. But dont compare that with the z because the z will leave that car on the dust. Theres no way that car can even come close on 0-120 on the z...Theres just no way...Well! i take that back...they can if its a grandma is driving the z or if the driver does not know they are racing!!!!

Ahh yea the tourqles wonder of the honda. I raced some guy that had an integra motor in this old honda civic. I beat him stock by like 7 cars. Then he tells me "i thought 350z's were faster than that". I laughed at him and drove off.
