Acura RSX vs. 03' Mustang GT?

k, my friend's being wierd and says that a Mustang GT can easily waste an Acura RSX. No shit, right? Well then I tell him that there's a $7,000 price difference there, so he can't really talk. I told him that if you add $7,000 worth of shit to an RSX, it can easily be as fast as that GT, but he's smoking or something and says no.

Now a RSX w/ $7,000 vs. a STOCK Mustang GT??? C'mon..it's a pretty even match, right? My friend's like, "No, that GT will waste your dumb rice burner NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU ADD TO IT..." and goes off telling his stupid muscle loyalty stories.

I'm not too much into muscle, so I don't really know how fast a stock GT is. We kinda got $100 on this, so you ppl can replay ASAP!

Some of those guys haven't spent 7,000-dollars on their cars yet.

A RSX Type S will be more than a match for the Mustang stock for stock. Given that they're both moderate drivers.

Re: Re: Re: Acura RSX vs. 03' Mustang GT?

Internet racing is crap, go out and find out.

And besides, he is right. Stock for stock the 99+ GTs WILL kill an Acura RSX, even the Type S. Itll take more than basic bolt ons if you want to beat one. And a $7k price difference? What the hell are the RSX's going for? GTs can be bought for 22k, not to mention the price can be brought down even more with rebates and a little haggling. Arent the Type S stickered at $21k? How much is the base model?

How the hell much does a Mustang cost? I thought GT's were CHEAPER than RSX-S's. Maybe you're talking about a base RSX?

But $7,000 in mods in an RSX, even a base RSX, should kill a stock GT. I'm talking murder.

RSX vs Mustang GT

I dont know what the whole point of this conversation is?

A stock Mustnag Gt would walk an RSX type S. I really dont care if nobody believes me, but i've seen it done...many times! Now...put 7 grand into a Type S and you will walk the Stang...all day long, but making those kinda comparisons are dumb, because it defeats the purpose of a stock vs stock race.

If the car you choose to buy is slower than another can...tough sh!t...that's your problem.

any stock RSX in any trim will get either raped or walked by a stang GT. a RSX type S cost more then a Stang GT. a base model cost slightly less. $7000 in a base model RSX done right should run low 13's.

why do you guys keep saying that a GT is cheaper than an RSX....the cheapest new GT i've ever seen was over 28K....most run around 30K


lets keep the used cars out of this btw because if we get into that a bunch of other cars will be brought in

Those must be some seriously over priced GT's? A 03 base line GT can be had for $22k, and Deluxe 03 GT for $24.5K. Even the current 04 GT's in show rooms can be had for $24k to $26k, depending on options. And these are just sticker prices, who knows what you can get them down to with a little haggling. Now for $28K, you are getting into the Mach 1. I've even looked at an 03 Mach 1, sticker price was $28.5k. 03 SVT Cobra $35k, I even believe there's a member here who bought one for $30k.

Im sorry to say but anything 25k+ would be spent on a true performance car by real tuners. Say a good condition tt supra or evo or sti. Then again most people cant afford one because there still learining the basics of life and havent experiance the job world yet, AKA Real World( no not mtv). Why didnt I get one instead of my spyder? Well first of all I like the 2g sporty body style and the turbo,convertible package is suitable and tuneable(2nd most aftermarket availability right behind honda, but with more hp to boot). Then again after 3k of engine work (turbo upgrade,boltons, and fuel management ive spent 20k total 17k for the car and 3k in engine mods. Then itll be that cobra,tt supra,evo,sti posting a death by spyder eclipse. Note mustang GT'swith 3 grand wont touch most dsms or most tuneable imports with the same amount of $$$$ in it(excluding the SVT cobra=evil with 3k mods).

It's a matter of where you live prices vary. For instance in Newport News, VA where living costs are relatively cheap I've seen two SRT-10 Vipers there for sale at $83,000. Now go up to somewhere in Northern Virginia like Vienna and that same car may go for $85,000.

damn new gt verts can be bought for 27k and regular for around 25k. And a base can be bought for around 20k. And slightly used for around 15-17k. New rsx's run around 22k. There is no real amount of differences in money.
