gsr vs rs

[90gs]

you realize that every 1 pound of wheel weight is equal to 8-10 lbs of static vehicle weight? his wheels probably weight at least 3 lbs more each, and his tires at least 2 lbs more each. multiply by 4 (4 wheels) and you get 20 then multiply by 10 and thats worth 200 lbs of weight. and every 10 lbs is worth about 1 hp. plus all his stupid body kit and crap. the GS-R has shorter gears for faster acceleration, 30 more hp, smaller wheels that'll spin up faster not even considering the weight difference, and v-tec.

go make him yo ur bitch.

i'm not gonna give an oppinion on who will win but it is fact that the right tires could in fact make a difference. tires may be the single most importand up grade you could have on ya tuner car.

run a geo metro with 155/70r13s, you can redline and drop the clutch and you'll get traction right away, upgrade your tires, they'll just weigh more and you will just get slower

and even on a civic, you wont have traction issues until you start modding. as far as autox'ing i couldnt agree with you more.

the question is not about a stock car. any integra is not slow as it is. and a gsr stock is strong enough to have a traction problem. and you can get aftermarket rims and tires that are actually lighter then stock.

i actually have 17 inch rims im my closet!? yes my closet because i bought these fuggin things thinking it would improve my handling and looks, boy was i wrong, i like the stock look much better and i had a significant loss in launch speeds, there in my closet so i can sell them as soon as spring rolls around 1300 down the drain, hopefully i can make some back

dont wanna sound rude or mean. but it sounds like you didnt know what you were buying you could have put that money towards wheels and tires that would improve your launch and corning. i donno what ya were thinking anyway.

I just put my stock steelies on last night for the long Winter and there really isn't that much difference from these and my heavy 17"s launchwise. I guess it picks up a tiny bit more, but cornering is absolutely horrible now relatively.
