No its no street race story, but im sick of this guy at work yapping about how fast his rsx with bodykit only is the fastest car in the lot. I dont know if its a type s or not, if not i wouldnt even waste gas on him. Any opinions on an 01 se y-pipe, cat back, intake are my only mods against his would fair. I believe his is an auto as is mine. It's all for fun and games and on a track so please no whining about being stupid with racing.

 

Well, I don't know exact stats but my friend owns an RSX type-S manual and cannot beat my 01 SE Max with y pipe, catback exhaust, and Weapon Intake and his has an exhaust dont know which.

 

An RSX can't take a 5th gen. An RSX Type-S can, though.

 

If he's an auto, then the car is not Type-S. You should be able to pull a few car lengths ahead of him.

 

A 5.5 gen 6sp will toast it.

 

I Spanked A Type-s On A Highway Run.

 

A 5.5 gen 6sp will toast it.

if i had that, id be just posting a funny kill story

 

if you have an auto you might lose

 

ive taken a couple

 

Well, a 5.5gen auto wil toast that too.

Proof? I took on some Type Ss stock.

 

My buddy with an RSX type s. Ran a 14.4 in the 1/4 mile on street tires. His only mod was a CAI. With a good driver those cars can be pretty quick.

 

Regular RSX auto is a dog, its a 8 second car to 60 with the manual not to mention auto. We all know how horrible Honda automatics are, their times are so much different than their manual counterpart hence 97-01 Prelude. The manuals are so much quicker. You will beat him bad, even if you were stock!

 

a good driver would make it much closer..

 

I read that the Type-S clocks 0-60 in 5.9 seconds.

 

heck no it doesn't.

It does.

 

Talk about no torque thou, u gotta spin the dam thing to almost 8k RPM to get it to move....no thanks I pass

 

Haha, yeah. 200HP and like 140lbs of TQ.

 

it says 6.1????

 

I think arnold is getting type s cars confused. The CL Type S can do it in 5.9 seconds.

 

Maybe if you put a "TYPE R" or "SE-R" badge on the back of your max, he'll stop talking trash, since you will then have the "R Factor" which adds at least 100hp.

Just tell him his body kit is ugly and that real sports coupes have manual trannys.

 

I raced my buddy's rsx-type s and we were side by side until we hit some higher speeds, when he started pulling away from me, but that wasn't until after about 110. He has a standard and I have an auto so I think that made a big difference, but if I would have had a 5 spd i think the story would have been differnt.

 

When C/D got that number it was a freak, them or any other hasnt been able to get anywhere near that since. Even the guys over at the RSX board say that is a freak!

 

LOL, thats just plain funny.

 

Car and Driver clocked the Acura RSX Type S FACTORY PERFORMANCE 0-60 in 6.7 seconds. So the regular Type S is around 7.5 seconds.

 

i took my friend in his rsx-s in my 4th gen with intake and cat-back and i'm not sure if i had my y pipe at the time or not, i don't think it did. his only mod was an intake.

 

::Races out to go put SE-R on his max asap::
