Vr6 VS Type-S rsx - Page 2

I don't know man. Honestly, I think the gti has some serious pulling power from a roll. I think that from a roll at 40 the rsx would surge ahead, but maybe from a roll at like 60 or maybe even 50 it would be more close. Personally, I'm just speculating because i have only tried rolling races from like 100 or 90 on the highway and thats where the gti pulls like crazy. from 40 it will probably lose to an rsx b/c i remember a comparision between a 1.8t gti, a honda civic si, and a couple of other cars and the civic had the fastest rolling acceleration time at lower speeds (i.e. 40 or 50 i forget) The gti pulled away in the 70-90 test and it was the fastest in the group (an older issue of automobile magazine). Your probably right about the 40 mph roll, but i'm not sure about a roll from 70 and up. If i remember correctly u raced a vr6 jetta on the highway and it kept up, so i don't know. I'm confused.

yes yes...the jetta DID keep up. im not doggin the gti at all. i think they're sweet, but from 40, its gonna get killed. i can't even keep up w/ the new type s's from a roll. it'll beat me by ATLEAST a car an a half. from a stop...yes, i can beat them (did so at the track). they aren't impressive from a stop, but from a roll where they pull in their mid-range...they'll pul like crazy.

im not questioning the numbers u've read, but from my races an track times i've SEEN, the gti would lose pretty badly from a roll. but from a stop, the gti would prolly beat it, but it'd still be close.

all of my comments are jus based on past experiences...so don't think im tryin to put the gti's down at all. i can't argue w/ a car that will hit 14's w/ only a chip, an i really do like the styling of them.

but..i dunno bout the 90-100, we usually run from 40, an so by then, we shut down cuz the type s has about 2 cars on me by the end of 3rd.

no, no i'm not doubting that u have the rsx can kill a gti from a 4o mi roll. i was just curious cuz i've never tried it.

o ok...jus reread that. my fault. outside of 80, i dunno, i've never seen the gti's top end. should be a lot closer, maybe w/ the gti coming out on top if it pulls like u say it should from 90+.

my mistake once again.

DING.DING.DING.
THE BELL OF PERSONAL EXPERIENCE HAS RUNG!!!

OK... It was a sunday night and I was in my friends 2003 VW VR6. And we were bored and me and my friend saw this RSX-S and so we decided to pull up on it and then to our surprise it was keepin up REALLY REALLY WELL!!! I mean the car was always a half-a-car ahead of us and then he beat us.

BUT then we stopped at a light and my friend and the RSX-S owner complimented each other. And then my friend said and I quote "You wana go at it again". And so they did but they did it from the stop light. And my friends VR6 pulled strong off the line. And we won this time. And it was the last we saw of the RSX-S owner.

PEACE!!!!:smoker2: :grey: :sun: :bandit:

From the fact that a VR6 has a 6-cylinder engine and the RSX is a 4-banger that basically speaks for itself. IMO i think that VR6 would make it a better car to drive because of its lightness and design. Its hard to compare a Euro car with a Jap. Espcially with the new Golf R32...a 3.2L engine can eaisly waster a "RSX".. it was tested on a track where it was 4 seconds faster than the Subarau Impreza...for a little hatchback like this... i find it very astonishing and amazing. So when the new R32 hits the street in NA... riceboys with their RSX better watch out!

uh...the fact that it is a VR6, doesn't mean much. put the VR6 next to the s2000, which only has a "lil 4-banger." sure the golf R32 can put the rsx to shame, but who says the rsx is top of the line for acura/honda? im not tryin to sound like im tryin to flame u at all...but i don't really see the point of ur thread, other then the R32 being better then the rsx, which is pretty obvious.

i race rsx's type s and i beat 2/3 of them but up hill they cant even get close to me on my vr6!

Are we talking about a stock GTi VR6 or just a VR6, because, the reason why a gti will kill in the takeoff, is because all GTi's have a close ratio tranny.. good 4 drag racing.. My brother had a vr6 GTi went 225 KM/h on our road..so ya.. happy dubbin!

R32 is quicker than the s2k right? I know it's ALMOST as fast as the STI and EVO

gti1689 · #28 07-18-2003, 02:25 PM

i dont know. i would like 2 think it is, but thats b/c i own a gti and an r32 is part of da same breed. maybe around the track, but im not sure about a drag race. it might be close, but i really have no idea becasue no magazine has done an agressive launch with a US spec r32.
