Do you own a type s rsx? So your saying a 2k2 maxima can out brake a rsx-s as well? If you own a 6spd Max. I would give the edge to the max for straight line performance but not by much. If you own an auto (i feel sorry for you) then the rsx-s would would walk it out on the highway top end with out a doubt!

 

Maximas hold there resale value? Uh not very good at all really.

1st year, they loose 10k, that is not good at all.

 

Sorry but an RSX-S driven properly would waste a specV in every respect. SpecV have very low traps as well. An RSX-S would totally destroy it on the highway as well as auto maximas. [/B][/QUOTE]
Man r u retarded did I not just tell ya that i beat manual RSX-S with mods with my stock 2k2 5 times. BTW do not use any excuses about bad driver since the kid is my friend and he has been driving stick for 6 years now, so no matter what u say unless u driven one please do not open your mouth no more

 

Go to a track then talk.
or do some highway runs starting about 80+ and you will get walked no doubt. Bring the video camera next time since you and "the kid" are such good friends.

 

it wasn't totally directed to you, but to everyone in this thread.

Also, alot of cars driven properly could assumingly waste so and so other cars. I have posted on the club rsx boards and people there are claming high 14's to low 15's stock rsx-s... so a assuming manual stock max vs. manual stock rsx-s should be a close win for the max. It's hard to compare auto max vs. manual max.. etc... etc

 

Oh yea!?!?!?! Put 4 220lb 6ft'ers in both cars and see what happens!! nya,nya,NYA!

 

my two favorite sayings:
"you can't reason with an irrational person"
"don't argue with a zealot"

MaxFlo apparently has a love affair with an RSX so won't hear reason. Why bother replying when all he'll say is "An RSX-S would waste you performance wise" over and over without bothering to muddy the water with any FACTS.

A guy I work with has an RSX and I know I'd waste him in my 6-speed.

 

The marginal difference in best times vs overall braking and handling the advantage goes to an RSX-S big time performance wise.

 

I didn't say that. You did.

But if you really want to know, each and everytime, i could brake in much shorter distances from an 80mph roll with the Max than i could in the RSX. And to me that's nothing to laugh at given how much heavier the Max is compared to the RSX.

 

I don't want to know what you do with 4 220lb 6ft'ers in your car?
I would rather 1 or 2 120lbs chicks.

 

Dude stop repeating your self this is the 10th time u said the smae thing over and over and over again. We got the point. Max will win on straight and RSX-S will win on the turns.

 

Well since you were changing the orginal story so much, why couldn't I?

 

there are too many factors being brought into this..

STOCK manual 3.5L Maxima VS. STOCK manual RSX-S, straight line.. no freaking curves.. deer coming out of the road to induce breaking... etc

 

You must not own a RSX-S then and just an RSX? Check data.

 

Again you said that, not me.

I don't care for freaking posted data on magazines or the internet. I've got personal experience with both cars and i know how each one handles and performs.

I have no reason to be biased either. I'm saying it like it is. Perhaps i have a fluke for a Max or an RSX but at least i have #'s from real life experience and not someone else's #'s.

 

So all the braking numbers by independant reviewers are wrong? A Maxima can out brake an RSX TYPE-S Yes or No?
Your Maxima with stock brakes is the only one that can out brake a RSX-S? Get real!


Don't tell me that yours and only your 5th gen maxima has a better turning radius than a RSX-S as well? 18 wheelers have a better turning radius.

The 5th Gen Maxima is on life support! Get over it! Crappy 6spd shifter. 4x4 suspension. Lousy 4 speed auto. Phased out model as we speak. Resale prices dropping like a ****.

 

You also have to take into consideration about the weight difference too... BTW.. Braking distance on Edmunds reviews are about the same...

Weight:
RSX weighs 2778 lbs.
Maxima weighs 3239 lbs...

Braking Distance:
RSX: 128 ft.
Maxima: 127 ft.

RSX Acceleration (0-60 mph): 6.7 sec.
Maxima Acceleration (0-60 mph): 6.3 sec.

Here are the links to both cars..

This thread needs to get deleted...______ vs. ______ threads should be banned

 

My car and the RSX loaner I drove at times when I get maint done. The brakes suck period on Hondas. My maxima and the rental I have right now will out brake both those cars easily.

Nissans just seem to have better brakes.

Now when the abs is used, Nissan needs some work there, it doesn't seem to stop the car fast enough with ABS unlike my Acura, it works better. But if you control the brake with your feet, the car just stops better.. (Maxima that is.)

 

Brake hard a few times in a 5th gen maxima and say bye bye to your rotors.

 

Marginal differences. Maxima brakes can not withstand continued braking. They fade fast and warp easily. I would rather do high speeds in a stock RSX-S than a stock 4X4 Maxima. Let alone cornering or very high speed braking.

 

I didn't say that. I just said i don't care for posted times. Why? Because that's 1 test compared to several hundred miles worth of driving i've done on both cars.

Additionally, magazine times are only there for reference and not to be used as standards.

No sir, *you* get real. You've been putting words in my posts all night. Can't you hold on to an argument without doing such?

Did i say anything about turning radius'? I even acknowledged the fact that the RSX has better handling than any Maxima stock for stock.

 

Do you own an Acura RSX Type S (not just RSX)

Yes

or

No

 

Ummm my Acuras rotors warped the 1st time braking hard.

I was able to do it many times in my Maxima and at 18k still had no problems.

The RSX as well didn't do well on braking.

 

Granted, but 1 feet is a difference nonetheless. Now where was that post of yours where you asked me to check for data on which outbrakes who?

 

Yes. What do you own?

 

Ummm...

http://forums.clubrsx.com/showthread...ghlight=BRAKEs

RSX have issues with brakes as well warping on the first hard braking.

lol

 

Braking once from 80mph with the same distance. How about high speed braking and continued braking ie. on a track. An RSX-S would outbrake a Maxima easily with a few laps on a track.

So yes or no?

Do you own a RSX-S?

 

can i ask what the hell you need to brake hard 4 anyhow??? I hardly ever slam on my brakes.....

 

So you honestly believe these tests are just done once and that's it? For your information each test (e.g. braking, accleration, skid pad) is done several times and the results are averaged.

To answer your question look in my previous post.

 

Did you actually read through the thread?

 

Your RSX-S and Maxima.

1999 540. With a few mods.

 

What's so funny?

At least i'm posting out of experience. You don't even own either cars.

 

what does braking have anything to do with a rsx-type s vs. a 2k2 6spd .. which is faster based on straight runs?

 

Read most of it

 

hehe actually which has more room and a back seat that you can have fun in.. opps.

and outperform the RSX in straight line and braking.

 

the funny thing is that most of the guys in the thread that I have going in the clubrsx forum put their money on the max.

 

Hey guys guess what..you've spent enough time discussing this topic...that you coulda Zaino'ed your car..i just did..ha ha ha...by the way..i Love how 2 cars of different classes have just been compared. Lets make this a little easier...Same brand..Maxima Vs. Sentra...Stock Vs. Stock...OR 3.2 TL-S Vs. RSX-S. ITS NOT IDENTICAL in ANY way SHAPE or FORM.you can do whatever you want to each one..but each is still not in the same class. Each one has great and awful points. Keep it at that!
