350Z without a doubt. Unless you need more trunk space and a back seat. And yes the 350Z is significantly faster.

Ummm. I think there is no real comparison among these cars. The 350Z will outperform the RSX in every category.

350Z -
0-60mph 5.4
1/4 mile 14.2

RSX-S -
0-60mph 6.3
1/4 mile 14.9

That is just acceleration which doesent mean that much, the 350Z is rear wheel and the RSX front wheel.

Yeah, the 350Z will light up the RSX-S in almost any performance category.

why do all of the sudden people think RSX's are fast?

It's 'cause of the V-TEC man!!!

[kman10587]

Probably from something in the latest issue of one of the tuner mags.

It all depends on the driver, besides there are more upgrades for the rsx then the 350z, plus the 350 z is rwd, it's harder to control so you tend to slip, as for the rsx the fwd has better traction, so less time is reduced, but it all comes down to the driver

[kman10587]

The 350Z doesn't tend to slip at all unless you're in shitty weather. The 350Z has much more power, and you don't have to wait until 6000 rpm to get the brunt of it. It has better weight distribution, it gets better traction on launches, and it has better brakes and tires. I can see from your name that you're biased towards the RSX, but compared to the Z, it's just inferior.

[bizlipkick]

own type S- drove 350 Z . 350 is faster- acura is put together allot better

[kman10587]

Yeah, I'll agree that the RSX is more solidly built and a much smoother ride.

[Andydg]

The RSX's 0-60 and quarter mile time: 6.1 14.8
And now the 350Z's 0-60 and quarter mile time: 5.4 13.6
So yes the 350Z is faster.

[3kgt8]

13.6 is that right??????

[kman10587]

Sounds a bit low, but I guess it's possible. Motor Trend got a 13.7.

congrats you win the idiot of the thread award. how is a fwd goin to get better traction off the line? FWDs are the worst. when you acelerate, the weight shifts to the rear taking the weight off the front drive wheels. and when you actually start to make power ( 200whp ) the car spins its tires uncontrollably. go drive a turbo honda and you'll see what i mean.
