so you guys make jokes about the RSX.. this and that.. blah blah blah
just compare a graph from a z and an rsx. even if both have 600+whp, the z's powerband is alot more usable, and not to mention, is pretty linear, it doesnt spike up like an rsx's does. that graph looks like it had a boost spike, but vtec + turbo is a pretty intense combo in a high hp fwd car. the z's powerband gradually builds up to its max power, whereas the hondas jumps up around 5500rpm.

The thing is though. . .when you get a little older. . . .you want to move on to bigger and better thangs. Hell you don't even necessarily have to be older.
Ask yourself this question. . . . ..If you were presented 2 cars, free of charge and could only pick ONE. . .which would you choose ?? A) A 650hp Nissan 350Z or B) A 650hp RSX-S ????

All I have to say is this. I just bought my Z 5 days ago (just a stock 04 touring). I owned before that a 350whp, 311wtq scion tc. The stock z has the thrust that puts you back in your seat, while I NEVER ONCE experienced that feeling in my tc. Even though my tc had faster 1/4 mile times than my current z, the feeling is no other when accelerating. So much easier to push a car than it is to pull one... RWD > FWD

Anyone notice that honda doesn't make any power till 5000rpm? 
You kiddies these days are funny. I'll take a 12 second car with good low end torque over a 11 second car that has a 2000rpm powerband.. Also i prefer RWD. FWD is like riding a bike with training wheels.
