Re: type R vs. rsx type s
Well they are almost both exactly the same car.
Certianly the Type R sold in Asia Pasfic region and in Europe has exactly the same spec level and performance as the RSX Type S. The Japanese Type R is similar, but has another 20hp. Or are you refering to the previous model Integra Type R, and have just learned that a: 97% of the worlds population dont live in America, and b: it pays to be a little more spefic when asking a question.

who every drove that type R can't drive. the type R can run a 14.7 average. which is a good amount faster then a 15.2

in that case, then you've only seen a 14.8 in a rsx type S done only once and hasn't been able to back that time up yet. don't you find htat odd? yet witht he type R, many publications were able to "repeatedly" get a 14.6 and a 14.7 out of them? that 15.2 is actually the slowest time that i've seen for a type R to run. and i've only seen it once. so it was a mistaken on that one report.i'll go on and list some of hte other publishers who was able to "repeatedly get a 14.6-14.7", sport compact car, best motoring, i'm sure the old road and track had it as well, when they tested the RSX-type S they would not get it in the 14's, they weren't even close. that car averages 15.5-15.2 at best, and they have been testing that car every year in the 8 great rides since it first came out. you gotta look at a certain year. the older DC2 type R's were not as fast as they were in the last 2 years of production. bottom line, a DC2 type R is faster then a DC5 RSX type S. now if your goin to compare a DC5 type R to the DC2, then the DC5 will be faster.

i guess i'll have to do some old magazine scans and show you guys. i'll try to find as much as i can. and the RSX was released just as long as the type R was. the type R was only out for like 3-4 years. the RSX has been out just as long. i'll try to look for the articles. and i'll show you.

its almost impossible to find them in the websites anymore, so i'll have to go to car stats and supercars.net
http://www.car-stats.com/stats/shows...tsgivenid.aspx this is from a 2000 model. this is taken from the may issue of motor trend. it ran a 14.8 on the 1/4 heres another one of a 2000 model. http://www.supercars.net/cars/2000@$Acura@$Integra%20Type-Rg.html this one ran a 14.9 on the 1/4 mile the source on htis one is kinda iffy. i'll scan in the page of sportcompactcar. where it ran a 14.7 on the 1/4 mile stock also look at this video from temple of v-tec. go to kazaa and download the video of a type R vs. a silvia S14. as much as i hate to admit it, but that type R kicked the turbo silvia's ass. and it ran a 14.7 as well. stock. you go find me all as much sources as i mentioned of a RSX type S runnin that fast, and maybe i'l believe you that its that quick. but i've personally raced a type R with my car, and i'll tell you this, i barely won. (beat him by only 3 cars) but this was before my car was tuned so i was making around 30 less whp and my friends S2000 barely won as well. the type R was definitly gave me a harder time then a WRX did.

first of all that integra they tested in that vid is a japanese version type r, which has about 200hp 5 more hp than the us spec, and it had the same wheels as the us spec, so dont complain about the wheel size. i dont remember what times they got so im not gonna say you re wrong, but still thats not the us spec type r, i have to say that 15.0-15.1 is a good average for a type r with a good driver. car and driver got 15.2 with the last type r they tested, thats the top car magazine here right now, and they average all their times out pretty accurately. they gather all their best runs, and average them out.
type r's been out longer total 6-7 yrs, for how long it was out when it was still being produced, about 4 yrs, while the rsx has been around 2.5 yrs, it came out around august of 01. Last edited by OoNismoO; 10-25-2003 at 12:51 AM. |

well for a guy with the name nismo you sure know alot about hondas. anyways, i will not finish this thread anymore cusae i refuse to believe a type S is faster, csue i clearly remembered the RSX being slower then the type R is many ocassions. i have actually never seen a RSX run under a 15 flat. and the teg that you were talkin about, yes that number that you posted i have seen them. they were from the 98 models. but anyways from personally experience, type R's are quick little cars. and RSX type S's are not exactly slow, but they're about the same as a v-tec prelude. and from racing both, the type R stood a much better chance. but hey what do i know? you seem to be the honda expert here. i'm just judging htis from personal real life experience, your basing it on mags.
