Hmmm............... It seems the RSX-S held on pretty good. I raced my friends RSX-S (Exhaust/Intake) before and got him by acouple of cars and I also had a passenger. So I'm not sure why he held so close?

I think it only seemed that way, since the races were short distances. But you can clearly see the z pulling, then have to slow down due to the light.

The funny thing is that RSX type-s owners always wanna compare to the Z. If you go on their forums you'll always find someone bragging about beating a Z. Of course some of them can get pretty fast but for the most part they're upper to mid 14 second cars at best.

Im an RSX owner and have stated numerous times that the RSX and the Z are in two totally different classes. How can you compare a RWD $30k+ car to a FWD $20k car? If you want to compare a Honda to a Z, compare a S2000. (yes I would still pick the Z)

Yeah thats true, a lot of people do tend to compare their RSXs ( high 14 second cars ) to the Zs which is in a totally different class.Ive driven both and rsx feels totally different. Esp. with all that VTACK .

If both drivers are at the same driving level, then the RSX doesn't even stand a chance.

My wife has an RSX base and it's fun to drive and all that and great in the snow, but that is all. I know the type-s is much quicker but that isn't saying much.

^LOL. People on that site are absolutely dillusional. I can't wait for someone on that site to post their new Enzo kill with I/H/E + Hondata. Good times.
