Would a RSX beat a celica gt-s and a cougar v6 all stock? what bout the type s?

i dont think a base rsx would beat a gt-s but im positive a type s will spank a gt-s AND a cougar

yeah a rsx type s wil smoke a gts . I know this because iv'e smoked a couple of them.

what about an eclipse gst or gsx (awd turbo)?

I don't think any of the eclipses are 4wd. I could be wrong, though. The gts has 210hp and weighs 3241 lbs. The typeS has 200hp and weighs 2778 lbs. I think the extra 463 lbs might slow the gts down!

I wouldn't recommend an eclipse. I've heard alot of bad things about the turbo for the 4cyl. The dealer told me that they mark down the eclipses alot when people are trading them because of the turbo. Don't know what the problem is since I don't own one or know anyone that does.

the gsx is an awd turbo eclipse :screwy:

A GTS wil own a RSX and a rsx-s is mainly a drivers race. And for that dumb mofo a celica gts dose now way anywhere nere 3400lbs do u research dumass. there around 2500 give or take 100. and stock gts have been known to take a couple stock rsx-s. drivers race w/rsx having a slight sdvantage.

i disagree, i'm very disappointed in the gt-s performance.

dosnt matter what ur dissapointed in facts are facts.

I guess some people can't read or use proper language, for that matter. Please read my post again, if you can. I was commenting on the ECLIPSE GTS, NOT CELICA GTS. Of course, if you knew about cars, you'd know that there are more than one brand of GTS! Also, if you're going to call me names, at least spell DUMBASS correctly! I really don't appreciate ignorant people calling me names when they don't even take the time to read.

My 2cents worth. You're not even worth that!

I guess you should read this (oops, I forgot, you don't like to read) - http://www.automotiveforums.com/t140209.html

A very informative post about the CELICA GTS vs. other cars.

Please note that this guy actually owns a CELICA GTS and, I quote, "THE ACURA RSX TYPE -S....2.0 liter 200HP engine ( this car pulled slightly from the line, but it seemed like when he hit 5000 rpms his i-VTEC kicked in and my VVTL-i didn't kick in until about 6000rpm and not fully until 6200rpm...so his car did beat me three times in a row, still a very close race about 5 feet in front of me at 80mph, and 10 feet further at 120mph, when i finally gave up...LOL..."

So how does being 5 ft behind a TYPE-S at 80 mph and 10 ft away at 120 mph beat a TYPE-S??? I guess alot of people that own the CELICA GTS can are wrong in your opinion too, hey?

Don't be such a hater dude!

The rsx would smoke a celica gts, cougar, eclipse, and maybe a talon tsi turbo. I have a 95 h22a vtec prelude(205hp stock), and i beat all those cars no problem except that i never raced the talon.

the eclipse and the talon are the same cars... so why would it smoke the eclipse but maybe be the talon?

All I was trying to say was that a RSX-S would not punish a GTS. Its a DRIVERS RACE. U Acura/Honda drivers r such asses. Sure the rsx has a slight advantage good for them. But its been known 4 a couple of GTS to take RSX-S.

and to that one GTS/GTS he should classify more. not my problem urs.

Because, genius the talon comes with 220 hp turbo with a 4 cylinder, the eclipse is a v6 with 200 some odd horses

Actually, "genius" :biggrin:, the Talon and the Eclipse were pretty much the same car from 1990-1998. They quit making the Talon in 1998, but the Eclipse went through 1999 before changing the styling and engine in 2000.

All Cars are top end (not incuding Eclipse GSX)
90-91 Talon I4 Turbo 195HP
92-94 Talon I4 Turbo 195HP (slight changes)
90-94 Eclipse I4 Turbo 195HP

95-98 Talon I4 Turbo 210HP (1998 last year made)
95-99 Eclipse I4 Turbo 210HP

00 Eclipse 205HP V6
01-02 Eclipse 200HP V6
03-04 Eclipse 210HP V6

Just my :2cents:

Well "genius" i dont know how it is in america, but that is how it is in Canada

I am also referring to a newer eclipse and an older talon, why else otherwise smart guy???

You need to specify this earlier, Junior. I was simply stating some facts supporting that the Talon and Eclispe are basically the same car with the same power. Didn't mean to strike a nerve sensitive boy. :)

I'm glad we're so adult here. ;)

Anyhow, the old GST/GSX pump out the same amount of horses as the new V6 GT's. For the record, Eclipse GST = Talon TSI, GSX = Talon TSI AWD.

Both should wipe out or at the least be even with a 200hp Prelude VTEC.

this thread is why i hate this place.

Then leave.

welcome aboard. nice wing

We are just playin'. Everyone has their own veiws.

Man I have to say that it would be a drivers race for the VR6. You said you beat a GTI VR6 in your link. I've never lost to a Celica GTS and there are a lot of them here in Omaha that are modded. I think that the guys you were racing didn't know how to drive all that well.

no u didnt strike a nerve lol. its all in good fun, i beat a vr6 with my 95 vtec lude.

welcome aboard. nice wing

Just call me ricer extraordinaire.

What? It is should have been quite clear that I'm responding to macavelli04's question about the ECLIPSE GTS! Do you know how to use a forum? Well, let me explain - you hit the reply with quote button and you respond to that quote. It's not that hard to understand now that I've explained it to you, is it?

All that I'm saying is read and understand before you "fly off the handle" and start the name calling. You don't have to resort to foul language to get a point across. And it is YOUR problem when you start using that language. I feel really sorry for anyone that has to read your posts and see what type of person you are.

And if Acura/Honda drivers are such "asses", then why do you post in here? You sure like to talk to us alot!

I don't have any reason not to believe that a CELICA GTS can beat an RSX-TypeS, but I sure wouldn't take your "foul" word for it!

My friend has a 98 Eclipse GSX AWD Turbo automatic, he and i plan to race soon. My car is currently stock other than a custom intake, his has iridium plugs, cold air intake, high flow cat, and cat back exhaust. However, his car is 4100 something lbs, and we are very interested to see who will win.

ive seen several sources that say your off by about 1000 pounds. gsx curb weight-3270

http://www.engine-power.com/mitsubishi/eclipse_gsx.html

really? as its not my car i took his word for it and didnt look into it. i thought 4100 lbs was pretty friggin heavy. thx KIDROCKET, now im gonna call BS on him.

i have an 03 base RSX never raced a GT-S but I raced a cougar in 2nd and 3rd gear and killed it, not a big fan of cougars.

Cougars are pretty slow.

Celica and RSX-S is a drivers race, although off a roll the RSX'd win because it has more power.

yea what about an automatic eclipse gsx and a rsx s manual...what about an auto???

Among the Eclipse GST, Eclipse GSX, Celica GT-S, Eclipse GT, Eclipse GTS, Cougar, etc, the only car that would beat an RSX Type-S is an Eclipse GSX. The Eclipse GSX is a couple tenths of a second quicker than the DC5. Caranddriver.com clocked the RSX-S at 14.8 sec 1/4 mi, while the GSX I believe was in the mid 14's. The GT-S Celica and GT Eclipse both ran 15.0 secs. Hope this helps.
