Hey pal, we've all seen this same post about a million times, so here's the answer to your question:

First: Look at those little blue buttons on the top right hand of the screen, second from the right is search.

Second: Press search.

Third: Type in RSX.

Fourth: Find what you're looking for, there have been at least a million posts on this already.

Fifth: If and only if you can't find what you're looking for with the search feature, go ahead and post.

I don't want you to think I'm being an ass, but there have seriously been about 10 threads on this exact topic ever since that ugly ass pussy car came out. BTW, you'll win.


And oh yeah, GOOD KILL!!!!

 

BTW, you'll win.

LOL .... You could have just typed that in....LMAO

 

Assuming equal drivers, the RSX-S will beat a DOHC 5-speed.

 

Alright, I'm sorry, I was busy passing classes while the RSX came out, and I never saw any reference to them here. I figured this was the proper forum to ask it on, since I see a lot of who would win questions on here. My most humble apologies.

 

And I agree, it's among the ugliest new cars I've ever seen.

 

And by the way, why do you claim that microsoft is run by a criminal? Bill Gates is a capitalist in every sense of the word, the same way I'm sure you'd be if you had an original idea as well as the dollars behind it to promote it better than the next guy. Sorry for getting a little wrapped up in it, but my Dad is an exec there, and it pisses me off when people call them criminals with no REAL backing evidence except for what you might have heard on crossfire, which isn't exactly factually based if you ask me.

 

They are criminals by definition, they were found guilty of illegal monopolistic practices. On a less technical note, they are NOT acting as the epitome of capitalism. Capitalism relies on equal competition. Microsoft has done everything in their power to block competition and charge monopoly prices, which is the quintessential failure of capitalism. At the very least upper management is composed of criminals, and if I were the judge, they'd be in jail with ALL their money and copyrights taken, as they were gained illegally, no different from standard robbery, and I'd ban them from management positions for life. No reason they should get off lighter than non-executive robbers.

 

Powelsound is right, if there are equal drivers a RSX Type-s would kill a SL. It would slaughter an auto SL

Fact;
RSX Type-S

0-60 = 6.1 sec
1/4 = 14.8

Now unless your a better driver then Wickedrew your gonna get spanked. And remember this is compared to the SL so it quite a bit heavier, the base would have a slim chance

The RSX-S rumor mill says these guys have yet to break 14.9XX stock.. They have also agreed the 6.1 0-60 must have been a fluke.. If you are serious about learning more about them check out clubrsx.com.... Most stock rsx-s's are running 15.1-15.3, forget their 0-60's./..

 

Sports Compact Car rated the RSX - S 15.2 seconds in the 1/4 mile. So according to those numbers the race should be close stock for stock. So it is a drivers race from there.

 

Thanks guys, and sorry about the redundant question. Is there any way to delete my account?

I got these #'s from the sept 01 C&D, there more accurate then most because they use pro drivers that can really show what the car can do.

Heres a quot from C&D about how they do their testing.

Elapsed times from 0-60 mph and through a 1/4 mile distance using full-throttle acceleration. Test cars are losded with driver, full tank of fuel, and 30 pounds of test instramentation. With manual trans cars, wheelspin or cluch slip or both are used at the starting line to make best use of the engines power characteristics and the vehicals traction. All upshifts are lift throttle and cluch disengaged. With auto trans cars, brake torquing is used to produce best launches and acceleration. With all trans types various shift points are used to maxamize performance. "The redline is never exceeded"
Time, speed, and distance are measured using a Datron Correvit optical fifth wheel. All performance results are corrected to standard atmospheric conditions.

Also the top speed for the RSX type-S is 133, so this tells me that for a 6 speed trans car it was designed to be a "Quick" car.
Its 200hp, light weight, with a high geared 6 speed, I can see it running these kind of times easily.

And as far as running low 15's maybe its because not too many pro drivers are running a stock one in the 1/4?
But as far as the performance of the car itself, it is capeable of running high 14's. C&D has proved that, or maybe they just got a freak car?

This is all true, but what does it matter if a professional driver can get a 14.8 out of that car, the fact is many enthusiasts can not replicate that time. Of course there are plenty of people that dont post that own the car, who knows.

Here's another thought... A car that should have awesome high end, runs 0-60 in 6.1 and ONLY 14.8, isnt something odd there? Take an SHO, runs 0-60 between 6.8-7.2, and still runs low 15's... 6.1 and 6.8 0-60 is a HUGE difference... Do you happen to have the trap speed of the 14.8?? I just expect more top end out of that motor and less low end.

 

Well if they can run a 14.8 with a "professional" driver, so can our cars. I ran a 14.9 @ 93.6mph with everything stock except the wheels, and 93.6mph is more than enough trap speed to run a 14.8. I didn't have a full tank of gas, though, but you also have to consider that I'm not a "proessional" driver. I've only been drag racing for about 7 years, and the Stealth was my first FWD attempt at drag racing.

 

Hey Hollywood! Got that palm thing filled out. Had to flirt with sea donkey at the dealership but it got done. Was only able to ge tone done but I got my own slip in the mail so its all yours! Let me know what address to put on it. Email me tonight so I can mail it tomorrow.

I have no doubts that our Base models can do better then the RSX's. But the thread was about SL's.
So I am figureing for the RSX vs SL stock for stock.
If you had a bone stock SL with a full tank, and 30 extra pounds in it. I doubt it would run a 14.8 even with a pro driver.

You also have to remember sometimes the cars that they test....They get the specs from the Manufacture

 

To my knowledge, no one else has been able to replicate anything near that 0-60 time... I believe the closest was 6.5 or 6.7... OH well, just race, see what happens!

I dont get what you mean?
C&D is pretty unbiast, they take the car out with there own people and testing equipment to get the results. And I am pretty sure they run all the cars at the same track.
Thats the beauty of independent testing, the consumers dont get one sided results. Granted the manufacture may slip in a ringer every once and awhile but not often.


Rhoades; I PM'ed you with the addy, thanks. It should help me tune my beast.

I think it would be close. The best time I've seen on the RSX board for a stock Type S is a 15.1. Does that help any?

 

And I agree, it's among the ugliest new cars I've ever seen.

They aren't terrible looking. But they are definitely a step back from the Integra in the beauty department. And the performance department too (to this point).

 

driver for driver by #s you figure an RSX-S should win...but like you said, the RSX-S hasn't produced it's promoted #'s yet.

Found legal of monopolistic practices, sure, I go along with that obviously because it's the truth. However, your comment about the epitome of capitalism is a bit off. Remember, the capitalism that Adam Smith was theorizing on was PURE CAPITALISM. Pure capitalism DOES NOT EXIST. In 'real' capitalism, it's every man for himself, and whoever has the biggest stick wins, regardless of if the product is the best or not. To bring up an example you might understand well, if you were to beat the RSX-S, which is a pretty even car with your's, you'd be the winner right? Even though maybe his car has achieved better numbers. Is that wrong? No, but guess what happens, he (like all the other whining computer companies) goes to an ear that will listen and talks shit about how the race wasn't fair, how you cut him off, how you have 2 mo' cylidaz yo'. In both cases, it's BULLSHIT. The RSX lost, and so has the competitors of Microsoft, it's not because they're criminals, it's because they played the game better than the rest. Would you give up a race to the RSX because it makes more HP per liter than you do? No, so why should Microsoft stop bullying the market around just becuase some businessmen didn't play the game right?

 

THe government should force Microsoft to stop bullying the market because the market does not exist for Microsoft's benefit, but for ours. Microsoft's actions hold back the economy and lower the quality of life, and thus they should be punished. History, economics, and laws support my claim, and I'm not discussing this further on this server.

Oh my god we have a winner! Amen! I couldn't have said it better myself! Thanks you!

Back to the real issue.. I retract my original statement. I don't think hands down, the -S would win. I thought they were running a little quicker than that stock.
