Rsx type-s VS tib gt 6-speed

[landshark155mph]

i have an offer to race a stock RSX type-s, i have i/h/e on a 03 tib gt 6-speed. who do you think would win

[FDTT]

RSX-S. You'll prob stay even untill you need to shift, at that time the RSX will pull a bit on you and then it will repeat on every shift.

Gotta love high rpm's.

PS how many hp does the tib have and how much does it weigh?

[FDTT]

Ok so i looked it up myself,
04 Tib GT 6speed, 172hp@6000rpm 3015lbs, .06hp:1lb
01-03 RSX-S 6 speed, 220hp@7800rpm 2767lbs, .08hp:1lb

With your i/h/e you might be nearing the 200hp mark. Say you make 200 hp you are still only .07hp:1lb in the tib. PLuss you have to factor in your weight, driver experance, tires, road condition, engine condition, gear ratios.

But my money is on the RSX-S

I'm afraid you are confusing the Type S with the Type R. The S has only 200 hp and its replacement will have 210.


But IMO the RSX will still win.

you're forgetting that the tiburon has alot more torque though

[FDTT]

Oops, my bad :P
RSX 142ftlbs@6000rpm
Tib 181ftlbs@4000rpm

But that still wont be enought to compensate for weight. It will be a close race i think, but from my exerpacen RSX-S are DAM fast.

[kman10587]

It's close enough that it could easly be a driver's race. Whoever can launch better and shift better should win no problem.

[MexSiR]

Torque means shit. A car can have 500ft of torque and be beaten by a 200 hp car.

Horsepower is derivative of torque, the RSX has more torque throughout the powerband than the Tiburon. So it sustains its torque longer.

[FDTT]

Ok, so who won??

Id like to know the outcome of the race. :P

[RSX04TS]

I know for a fact that the rsx type-s would win vs. a tib cuz me and my boy both on a rsx and a tiburon, the rsx type -s murders the tiburon, also the nissan sentra spec v

[landshark155mph]

well we raced and it was pretty lopsided. we raced 3 times all from 40mph. first race was up to 90mph.
i pulled through 3rd, and 4th. when i shut down i was like 2 cars out in front. he said he got a bad launch and said i got lucky and would beat me this time. i pulled through 3rd and 4th, and part of 5th. about 105mph. i was out in front by about 2 cars.
i was surprised cause i was expecting him to do a little better than last time. he came back and said "i was starting to catch you." "this time go until i pass you" so we go again i pull through 3rd, 4th,5th, when i shift into 6th i'm out like 3-4 cars and i continue to walk away from him until 140.

Dude, I agree with you, My girl has a tiburon v6 6 speed and she has never lost to an rsx type s and she's stock. But I have to say, she launches that car like a damn demon. She pulls on everything not AWD by like 1 to 1 1/2 car length by the end of 1st. She pretty much beats type s's by 1-2 cars by the end of the 1/4 mile.

if your chic can beat rsx-s with her tib that means i could beat an rsx too. i thought a type s would easily take out a tib.

Hey whats that suppose to mean!!!! You calling her a crappy driver!!!!! J/K But yeah, I thought those things ran 14.9's? But I guess it's hard for non professionals to get that time. As a matter of fact, I've seen more times for the type s around 15.4's then I do at 14.9.

[Savior1974]

BTW 3k, She takes out GTS Clipses also. But they do tend to do better than the type s's. It's pretty funny watching all the guys lose to a female (Since they don't drive as well as guy supposably). Make's me proud
