RSX Type S vs. Integra Type R

[crazy_canuck]

It stands for Limited Slip Differential.

To see what it does, how it works, etc.:

Its a bit long and on multiple pages but its a good explanation.
But to put it very briefly it helps with traction.

both are good choices but i think the rsx have better handling. can get more power with bolt on and cams / kpro k100

[crazy_canuck]

No, the lighter Integra has better tires and better suspension.

But does the Type-r lose some horsepower throught the limited slip differential? I know that the type-r is NOT AWD, but is it a bit like the wrx; is there a lost of HP trhought the drivetrain???ThanKs!

I think it would definitely be a driver's race stock. With exhaust and intake he'd have an edge. And Canuck's right about the SRT-4, he'd get it handed to him. The new Eclipse GT (Invoice around 22,500) with a 14.3-14.5 quarter mile is another comparably priced car that would beat him. Granted, his car is at least 5 years older than these new models- so that's saying something about the Type R, but it's certainly not invincible. The irony is, if you go ask around in the Civic forum, you'll most likely find a couple of swapped and boosted Civvies that could blow his doors off. Stock specs don't mean too much nowadays when modding is so popular...

And what exactly qualifies as a "massive intake"? SRI or CAI?

Dude are you kidding me.....where the fux did you get that quarter time from.....Motor Trend tested the R and pulled back to back to back to back 14.8's @ 97 mph. I personally being 215 pounds was pulling 14.7's and the best of a 14.61 at almost 99 mph BONE STOCK(spare tire 1/2 tank etc)........For better comparison, I never had a 5.0 mustang STOCK ever pull on me, I beat every one pretty good, and I could sit level with a 4.6 auto, not a manual though.

Nothing like a WRX....a WRX loses power because it has to power twice as many axles, an extra differential, driveshaft, rear end...etc. The power lost through the LSD is very minimal.

okay I think the ITR is better.

But which would win RSX type-S or Integra GSR?

[crazy_canuck]

RSX no contest over a GSR.

[2poor2tune]

i say type-r but who the frik knows really. there are a million things that come into play on this. they need a car show just for this stuff. to straiten things up. and would someone get this kid out of here daveersx-s

[01_Celica_GT]

lol, dudes, I posted this thread like later last year. Thats crazy that it is still going.

The only reason I posted this is because my boss had an ITR and i thought the type-s could beat it in a race considering he thought his ITR could beat everyones car. So I thought I would try to prove him wrong.

So we havn't came to a conclusion yet?

RedCavalierRacer started this thread


And its a drivers race, the better driver would win the race because the ITR and RSX-S are so close to each other.

I am RedcavalierRacer. I changed my screen name to accommadate my new car. I sold the cavi

[2poor2tune]

cool celicas are better anyway. but like he said it is a drivers race everyone

[01_Celica_GT]

that makes sense. I guess there would be a lot of factors in which ever car wins too.
