i never said integra type R. i'm talkin about the NSX-R. the newest version from the 3.2 liter 6 speed that runs a low 12 on the 1/4 mile. the RX-8 is a nice car it handles well, and everything but theres one problem. its lacking any sense of balls. and anyways 0-60 time is not a good determination of speed and hp. it takes almost no hp to hit 60mph. however once you acelerate past 60mph on to 100mph. then you see the big difference in hp. the RX-8 hits the 1/4 mile in 14.5 @ 95.4 mph. guess what? a stock RSX type S hits the 1/4 mile in 15.0 @ 94 mph. which means the RSX from a roll theoretically has a better top end since htey trap so close together.
