If I might just add something, and I'm in no way saying the RSX is better or worse BUT:

The K20 engine found in the RSX-S makes a hell of a lot more power with bolt-ons than the F series engine found in the S2000.

How much power? Well 260whp has been accomplished with just NA power mods.

Ok... but we'll say 250whp is the average and 250whp from an NA 2L engine is fantastic any way you look at it. Problem is there's not much torque. Solution? Weight. They tip the scales at what, 2800lbs stock?

Now lets look at the power to weight ratio numbers:

Average full bolt-on 350Z makes 280whp and weighs 3200lbs. P/W Ratio of 11.4:1
Average full bolt-on RSX-S makes 250whp and weighs 2800lbs. p/W Ratio or 11.2:1

Full bolt-ons being intake, complete exhaust, cams, and tuning.

Hate to say it if you put a full bolt-on RSX-S up against a full bolt-on 350Z, it's gonna be a driver's race.

 

Hahaha.. Just signed up on the forum.. Time to hand out the @$$ whoopin!!

 

i just posted what i said here over on the rsx site. it's post #138 so get ready for them to go nuts. hopefully they dont just delete it right away. im sure i'll be banned within the hour haha

 

i hate rsx's, i don't even race them....its an insult to me...(i'm turboed)

 

Not going for the ban.. What I do want is to educate them a little

 

That sucks. The guys at Honda-tech have nothing but respect for the Z. At least during the times I was there.

 

tylerdurden07 = internet punk

 

Do we really need another one of these threads? Seriously.

 

Education based on fact? If someone came here and said that the Z06 is faster and here are the stats there is no argument its a simple fact.

 

I never understood where they get the numbers to beat something like a Z. I mean, do they realize that I/H/E chip isnt going to give them 80 HP because thats the only thing I can think that would come close to beating a Z, was to mod to the point your getting 280hp to the flywheel.

To be honest, I bet this supposed Z that was supposidly on the freeway, that supposidly raced this RSX-S wasnt even there, and this honda boy was having a wet dream about finally being able to keep up with a Z... But what really happend, it was a nightmare and instead of being in his ULTRA fast bolt on honda, He was in a brand new 350z. He prolly woke up in a cold sweat and had to go sleep with mommy for the rest of the night.

I still to this date dont understand why people think because there car looks fast and has rims can beat anything. It just numbers, 200hp vs 280hp, Who would you put your money on?

 

yeah its kind of funny how a lot of videos on streetfire and other sites are 350z kills. with titles like turboed civic STOMPING on a 350z. weird.

 

haha, this made me smile. it's post 171.

ChiShi

 

please find me some rsx-s with full bolt-ons (n/a) that is putting out 250whp. I would love to see how they achieve 80whp from just bolt-ons.

 

Because its fun?

 

It's the internet. Anyone can come up with anything to dig on any car:

Evos look like children's wind-up toys
STis look like they have a birth defect
Civics are econoboxes
Zs are slow
RSXs are girl's cars
Corvettes and Neons are shtty American cars
Supra drivers are douchebags
RX7 owners can't even get the car running

So, you see, you can find something bad about any car. And make up any statistic. But it's never dudes with nice rides saying this and that... it's always the ones that can only afford seat belt pads that talk sht.

 

if its fast, respect it. otherwise shut the hell up and continue to do your performance mods with pepboys parts.

 

Watch out.. they are vicious over there at clubrsx

 

no wonder a rsx tried to race me the other nite. what a loser.

 

this is really funny to me, I have many hondas and a Z. The kid that posted that **** is that forums didn't say that he has almost $3000 in mods and the Z was prob stock so that wasn't really a race. What makes me laugh the most are all you guys out there who are like " I don't even race honda/RSX because I am TT and that wouldn't be worth my time" well the TT kits are around 5 grand and more. Now if I took that kinda cash and put it into my honda it would be a high 10 sec to low 11 sec car and daily drive able. I love my Z and want to turbo it but I still think it wouldn't be as fast as my turbo honda and if you add up the cost the honda if half the price of my Z...lol. Yes thoe honda are **** boxs in the looks but but still they are good cars and run forever. If you guys need to see what I am talking about go to this guys site and check out all his cars and post... evans-tuning.com he is a loc. tuner around here and builds sick cars. In all yes I hate most honda drivers cause they just put loud *** exhausts on there cars and have that revin problem like when they pull out of car parking spaces...lol and love the rice-e look. They just want to race everything and no matter win or lose they will tell eveyone that they have the fastest thing around and can beat any car out there.

 

Actually you are the internet punk.. I don't directly attack people like you just did.. Especially on the net like a little F$KIN GIRL!!!!! Go to your corner and STFU...
