in a drag race who do you think would win. i'm not sure of the weight of
the rsx but I assume the R is lighter. and also does the rsx has a LSD?
whats your opinion?

 

TypeR would win with equal drivers. The RSX TypeS weights about 2800lbs I think.

 

I would have to say this would be a good race. I have never driven a Stock Type r, but I own a 03 type s I have just a short ram intake on it and on Wed I took it to the track for the first time and the first run was a 14.875 @ 94.75 MPH. The only "almost" stock R I have seen run was a 01 with a Comptech Icebox and a Greddy Sp Exhaust system. His best run of the night was a 14.785.

This would be a good race in my opinion.

 

stock Type-S vs. stock Type-R, equal drivers. Type-R wins.

 

stock vs. stock... equal skilled drivers... the Type R definitely will win
i seen results in which the type s ran 14.6 n 14.8 but still the R runs along about 14.4-14.8 both were stock

 

an RSX will respond alot better to simple mods than the TypeR will becasue the TypeR comes so highly tuned from factory it is hard to get any more whp outta it. My boy just put down 198whp with just a Intake, header and exhaust. I put that down with my car when I went all motor....Toda cams, gears, header, test pipe, exhaust, VAFC tuned, fuel pressure reg. spoon head gasket.

 

Erik,
Would you prefer to own a Type R or an RSX type S? Since the RSX type S is a new car than it really doesn't surprise me on the performance mods. I would say the R is still a better track car .
What do u think?

 

The RSX S does not have LSD from the factory. I have raced my dad in his 03 S and I have beat him. He has a DC sports DAC on his. My R is stock it was a good race but the R is alot faster than an RSX S.

 

Aw man the TypeR without any doubt or even thinking about it twice. You know how eeeeeeeeeeeeveryone with an import wants to be "the diffrent guy"....well how many R owners do you know? See what I'm saying. We (I) already own a car that is pretty dam rare itself (not saying there isn't any other out there) but they are just so limited. I take pride in knowing that I have something that only a hand full of people have. Plus it really can't be touched on a auto x course or track course. I would take a TypeR over an RSX any day and I'm sure alot of RSX owners would take a TypeR over an RSX if given the chance too.

 

What did all of you R owners run stock. Lets not get too cocky here, I love Type r's but the dude that replied to this post stating he has seen a STOCK Type r run a 14.4 must be confused. I would say cold day at sea level I'll give you a 14.9 with a good driver. I think car and driver rates you at a 15.0

Just so there is no confusion stock is stock ie airbox, tires, exhaust, interior. ect.

Also no replies from non R owners who think they might have seen an R do a 14.0 stock one time...BS
