hey just wondering how fast the rsx type -s is, can a 4th gen keep up? whats the stats on them, i know they have 200 horse, so can they smoke a stock max?

I believe it runs a 14.8 1/4 mile. So I figure a 4th gen 5 speed with basic mods should keep up with it no problem...that is if the RSX is bone stock. I may be wrong though.

welcome to the internet. you can find anything you want if you SEARCH FOR IT



Edmunds.com
From: "2001-2002 Sport Coupe Comparison Test, First Place - 2002 Acura RSX Type-S"
Author: Brent Romans & Liz Kim

"The RSX dominated the acceleration tests, earning a 0-to-60 time of 6.7 seconds and going past the quarter-mile mark in 15.2 seconds at 92.7 mph."


So you might run a 15.2 stock in the quarter mile. But you might get your a$$ handed to you as well

Interesting...I thought I had read it ran a 15.2. I just checked car-stats.com and it said 14.8. I think 15.2 is more accurate.

Well you know tracks vary and one time might be corrected for sea level. BUT they never tell you elevation or outside temp, they just put a number in your face.

But that's funny how we both came up with different times. But I guess that is real world, cars will run different times for different reasons.

I am not impressed w/ the RSX. Their #'s are similar to a 4th gen 5-speed max, the only difference is they are ugly. The integra was a better looking car. I raced one before any mods and we were dead even. He had some kind of exhaust. I would expect more from a light two door "sports car".

the thing that surprises me is i think i remember reading they are about 2750 pounds, thats only like over 250 less then us. they shoulda skimmed off some. i figure if i lose some weight ill smoke some in the 1/4

If your correct about the weight then that is some bad engineering. The one thing about the Honda and Acura is they are great tuner cars. You'll get a lot more response to mods out of them.

In the June Edition of Sport Compact Car they did a test of seven tuners for the RSX. They ran a 15.0@94.5 stock. Did anyone notice that on the DC sports rsx it had a intake, header and exhaust and it only ran a 14.9

Says who?

My friends Civic has Intake, Headers, Exaust and it didn't make all that much of a difference. $1000 bucks worth of parts made him about as fast as an SI.

Go to www.clubRSX.com and look at their OFFICIAL FASTEST 1/4 MILE TIMES thread.

14.61 is the quickest MODDED N/A RSX out there. Thats weaksauce if you ask me... give me an ITR any day.

Well I have seen a slow one, which I beat in a race on the superstreet tour last year. I have also seen one that had a FMIC and a smaller pulley.

Don't know what it ran in the 1/4 but it was fast.


Supermachcoman- I just clicked your sig pic and that was the funny and worthwhile

You know what, you might me right. My brother is huge into Hondas for a while now. I have heard him say this for years. I just recently started tuning my I30t so am new to this myself. He has put a lot of dough int to his 94 accord EX and I still blow his doors off. You hear something enough and you start to believe it. The more I learn about Hondas the less I like them, some exceptions, the S2000 and NSX.
