0-60 RSX type s times

what is the 0-60 RSX type S time?? i have seen from 6.1 to 6.7 to 7.3.. i hope 6.1 cuz my friend just got a 2001 CL type s and i wanna smoke his ass



thanks....

The latest R&T I just picked up today had it at 7.2 IIRC. :rolleyes:

I have little doubt that a 6.1-second 0-60 time is possible (maybe even faster times are within reach), but the engine must be fully broken in (I'd say a minimum of 5,000 miles - remember that just about ANY street car will outperform an equivalent brand new model at around 40,000 miles), in good shape, and the driver must be on the money to get that kind of performance from the car. If these criteria are met, I think you'll make low 6's. But you are going to have trouble "smoking" a CL Type S, which isn't far behind at (from what I've read) 6.3 to 6.4 seconds.

CL-S will take RSX-S up until 110mph.

thanks a lot guys! Its just that the 0-60 time for the RSX varies depending upon the source....Im really curious and concerned about its performance.


One other quick question.... 2002 RSX Type S or 2002 Nissan Maxima/Altima SE?

RSX Type S all the way. Remember that you are getting a sizeable family sedan with either the Altima or Maxima. The RSX is the way to goo all the way for performance. 'Course, it completely depends on what you are looking for in your car. Since you asking for subjective outlooks, I'm just giving you mine.

yea I was asking for everyone's opinion... its just that the new max has 255 hp and 6 speed man.....the altima is 0-60 in the low 6's..... I just want some advice or input.


Im looking for a low 6's car..... 6 speed man.... very very fun to drive and very fast and very reliable!



thank you guys once again.... later

CL-S can get you low 6's as well in certain situation.

Anyone saw the Comptech supercharger for CL-S at SEMA?

its frikin fast! Its got low 14 sec 1/4s with the V6. Thats just a couple tenths slower than the Mustang Cobra. Its about the same price too...

I Think the better times will be about 6.7...7.1 are GSR times..

Will anyone out there with a RSX Type S do me the favor of timing their 0-60?? Im gettin mine in exactly a month, im just curious...



Thanks


George;)

You want them to time it with a stopwatch? That's about as accurate as magazine timeslips.

dude its better than nothing, i just want a rough estimate, not a precise time trial

Perhaps somebody can better the stopwatch results with an accelerometer??

Also I wouldn't call proper break in until it reach 5000 miles. You could ask RSX Type S owner if they have Gtech or not.

whats G-tech?

well does anyone have an accelerometer AND a RSX type S???

it seems 6.7 - 7.1 sounds about right. I test drove a type s with 1200 miles on it. I did a 6000 rpm cutch drop on first. The vtec seems only to kick in at about 7000 rpms.

Don't think you can do a 6000RPM launch on Type S. The rev limiter on Type S is set at 5500RPM. Also VTEC kicks in on Type S at 6000RPM.

Say it with authority, baby! Yao!

Also you don't want to drop the clutch on Honda cars. You are better off slipping the clutch.

Are you sure about the 5500 rpm. The vtec sure did not feel like it kicked in at 6000rpm, at least i did not feel it until 7000.

Yes I am sure about the rev limiter. The VTEC engaging point is much smoother that's why you don't feel the rush like Type R where there is big jump in power and torque. i-VTEC makes the powerband much linear.

I will bring mine to Englishtown Raceway Park and get the 0-60, but not until it's thoroughly broken in.

Cool, we'll look forward to your results. Welcome to AF!

Well this is the low down. Intial Vtec kicks in at 4500RPM yup. mini kick, you dont feel the big kick because of the wider power band. Second of all the last 1000 RPMs on the type S is where the insane power comes in. Thats the second kick, so all you peeps that haven't red the car, cant and should not say shit about the times, I dunno the exact times but mags range is 6.1 - 6.7 that I have seen. my friend saw a 01 Type R vs RSX type S almost identical times 1/4 was 14.98.

That sounds about right.....and yea, the last 1000 RPM's are INSANE....

I have the Australian Type R and it has near 4000 miles on it and as time progresses, you can notice the car getting quicker. The VTEC varies on each gear, but it roughly kicks in at 6000RPM. First gear is definitely revlimited to 5500RPM, which surprised me when I found out. I am running the standard tyres on the car which I am not impressed with. I get wheelspin at 3000rpm on takeoff which straight away puts you behind the car you are against. To improve 0-60 times the first thing to do is get sticky tyres, then you will be getting the 6.1 times, maybe even lower. I am getting new tyres early next year and then I will take it to the track and get it timed for the 0-60 and 1/4 mile and let you all know. You can also lower your tyre pressure when at the drags and you will notice more time off the readings.

Another way to get quicker times is alter your air intake pipe. As you will notice it kicks off to the left behind the front left light and it tries to suck air from there. Cut off that kick to the left so the air can flow straight into the airbox and you will notice a difference.

Right now I am waiting for K&N to make a airfilter and after that, waiting for Mugen to release the ECU, air box and exhaust system. Once all these mods have been done, regardless of the country, you will have a damn fast car that will do low 13's down the 1/4 mile.

Don't believe what mags be sayin just go out there and do it yourself.My boy ran a 14.7/94.7 1/4.As far i know if trap speeds is 94.7 then 0-60 should be under 6sec.:smoker2:
