Re: (r6er r6er)
If u do Light to Light you'll win
on the highway, he will slowly pass you (the RSX Type S he has a higher HP)
now will depend on the driver
As per Edumnds.com
Acura RSX Type
will get full torque only at 6000 RPM
Full HP 200 at 7400
Shttp://www.edmunds.com/new/2003/acura/rsx/100188147/specs.html?tid=edmunds.n.prices.leftsidenav..8.Acura*
GTI 20th AE
Full torque 173 at 1950 RPM
Full HP 180 at 5500 RPM
http://www.edmunds.com/new/200...agen*
they are saying that the RSX type S wil do 0-60 in 6.7 sec,
heard here that the GTi will do in a little bit less
plus the TRUE competitor for the RSX is the S3 (audi A3) then i'd put my money on the S3 anyday
IMHO, i think if you are a decent driver you can beat him.
hope it helped

Re: (Golzinho)
If it is alright with the rules, i will tell you about a fictional race that never happened between me and a black rsx-s. my good friend has an rsx type s, and we have raced a couple of times each time i have beaten him by a car length by the time i reached around 100.
all of this occurured on a track. i dont condone any sort of street racing.

Stock for stock, I can almost assure you that you'll be staring at his tail-lights from a disappointing distance... unless he misses a shift, or messes up in some way.
I'm hardcore VW, but I have to give credit when it's deserved... the RSX Type-S is very quick in stock trim. As JakeN20 said, a few bolt-ons go a long way with a 1.8T.

Re: (ZeRo_C0oL)
Thats weird I had a DREAM the other night about the same scenario
![Image]()
I was on the way to work and this guy in a RSX Type-S decided he wanted to try out his new coffee can exhaust. We started out nose to nose then I slowly pulled away beating him by half a car length and that is with a car seat and a heavy ass JL Audio bandpass in the trunk. Cant say for sure if I would have really beat him if we were on a track, but it really boosted my ego
![Image]()
We stopped at the next light and he wanted to know what I have done to my car when I told him it was stock he was amazed
![Image]()
Awesome dream

Re: (abad_vr6)
My first question is... uhhh.. in your "dream," did you have any bolt-ons? ...and are you sure it was a Type-S instead of just an RSX with a Type-S badge? No offense intended; Just curious, because like I said, I have to give these things credit. They perform well.

Re: (ZeRo_C0oL)
My car is stock as far as performance wise. Im pretty sure it was a Type-S, I didn't ask him or get to look under the hood. Like I said I don't know if I would have beat him on the track, but I was happy the way my 20th performed. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Re: (abad_vr6)
Well, in that case, congrats! I'm not trying to dog on the 1.8, by any means; That's still definitely a surprise to me though. I had a dream that I was racing a friends 2.2L Probe GT turbo on the interstate vs. an RSX-S (in my dream, he had an intake and exhaust), but he pulled on me as if I had tried to go from a roll in 5th gear, at a low speed. I've beat lots of quick cars in that PGT, in my dreams, of course. Pretty quick car.
Props to the one point eighttttt.

Re: (ZeRo_C0oL)
Stock for stock its a drivers race. In the 1/4 mile, at the track, it will be close. A full out run to like 120, I think the RSX would pull ahead. I dont know about the latter though, never did it myself.

Re: RSX TYPE s VS. 20TH GTI (r6er r6er)
I have to concur with the rest of the pack. I sell Acura and drive a 337. It's gonna be tough to beat a type-s. Could come down to driver, but I'll tell you the type-s is an extremely easy car to launch and nail shifts in. If I could drive both side by side, the RSX would win. But tuning our cars yield higher gains. Give him a good run and beat him later. Our cars feel quicker in gear though. Rolling it would all come down to him being in the perfect gear while we relish in the torque our cars have.

Re: RSX TYPE s VS. 20TH GTI (nankles)
I think the numbers are too similar in both cars to tell a difference that way. In fact, a bad driver (or a good driver on a bad day) can really make all the difference. I don't care how fast your car is, if you don't know when to shift it and how to launch then you can get embarrassed.
I have had those dreams where I have pulled on RSX's and I have also had those nightmares where they pull on me. One advantage we do have is torque. If you are going from a standstill it can be a disadvantage as you scramble for traction, but on the highway that guy better really know his car so he doesn't dump into a gear 400 RPMs over redline. Either way, the 337/20th AE is a very good matchup against the RSX. A lot of dyno results are showing that the 337 is putting down a lot more than 180HP in stock form (maybe the different exhaust system and better ducting???) so its really all a drivers race.
I say go and have a good time. I will race pretty much anything and if I win, great. If I lose, it was still fun going fast

Don't let people scare you off with magazine numbers. I don't care if you buddy is driving a brand new mustang GT. If he can't drive the thing then you still have a chance... The exception to this rule in our world would be the firebird LS1's and Newer Camaros. Even Morons can pull down low 14's in those things. 330HP vs. 180~200HP just doesn't fly. I have also been told by a few Firebird owners that pontiac rates that number at the WHEELS, not the crank. Yikes.

Re: RSX TYPE s VS. 20TH GTI (r6er r6er)
THere are way too many HONDA fans around here. I will tell you from experience that my GTI 337 pulled on a RSX types S and beat it by 1 car length. I dont know how fast we were going, but I got it into 4th gear and let off before 6000 rpms. beating the mighty rsx types s the whole time. i pulled 1 car length on the 1st to 2cnd gear shift and he never was able to gain any ground on me. (this was on a legal track by the way, not on the road, i never race on the road or break the speed limit) as others have said, these cars are very close. its a driver's race indeed. now if you get chipped, forget about it, you will spank the RSX.
![Image]()
I have also spanked a contour SVT and Mustang GT (95-98 style) at the same legal track. you will be suprised how fast the 1.8t GTI is. as long as you can drive and shift quickly you can spank many cars. its amazing how many people cant drive their own rides though.

Re: RSX TYPE s VS. 20TH GTI (joedubbin)
Actually, the 95-98 mustang GTs really weren't any quicker than our GTI's. They upgraded the engine on the newer models to 270HP and now they really move. The contour SVT is the same. it puts down numbers similar to the the Focus SVT. While I think the Focus SVT is a terrific handling car and plenty quick, in a straight line it is no match for the GTI.

Re: (FrankiEBoneZ)
You are definitely right, it would without a doubt be a driver's race. The numbers for both 2003 model year cars are very similar, but the 20th ae has weight reduction(seats, wheels, etc.). I sell vw's and my buddy has a type-s. I've driven both, and the 20th ae is noticeably quicker than it's brother, the gti. The 20th ae would come out first with 2 drivers of equal skills. I have the latest issue of Motor Trend right in front of me, so here are the numbers for the 2003 rsx-s and gti 1.8t:
GTI: 0-60=6.8sec. 1/4 mi: 15.3 @93mph
RSX-s: 0-60=6.7sec. 1/4 mi: 15.1 @94mph
Keep in mind, the 20th ae is quicker than the gti 1.8t with its weight reduction. That being said, the 20th ae is definitely a quicker car, even though it has 20hp less than the type-s. With equal hp numbers, the 20th ae would blow the type-s outa the water, literally. BTW, I know this is kinda off the subject, but since I have this magazine open, here are the braking distances.
GTI 1.8t: 60-0=122ft.
RSX-s: 60-0=128ft.
Some food for thought for those who are so fast to bash the 20th ae. Nuff said
