hey i was just thinking...RS is basically the bone of the GS model. LS has some, SE (aka GS) has all the and everything. but these three cars are all built with the same stuff under the hood right? 1.8 without a v-tec head. now, here's the scenario three cars side by side
and to limit the variables, let's make them all auto (so no shifting differences), two door, and all stock. theoretically, the RS should win, right? it's the lightest. (no a/c piping, no cruise, no pwr modules, nothing) i may be completely wrong. what do you guys think?

less weight + equal torque and hp = win

yea but the 40 pound (maybe) difference the RS has cuz it does have all the bonus stuff really would only give it like MAYBE a car length in a 1/4mile

40 pound difference? my 92 RS weighed in at a nice 2400 lb with nothing taken out. I believe the other models ls gs weighed in at a good 2700 maybe 2800. also which generation do you mean 2nd or 3rd because I believe there is a difference. If anyone has realworld numbers feel free to correct anything you see wrong with mine because its just an educated guess except for my car since I saw it weighed.
