Me and a friend test drove a RSX-S 6 sp. We kept gunning it but nothing happened. We were 3 people in it but it did not feel like 200hp. To make it go we had really put it to the high rpm's. Above 6k. A friend of mine has a TSX which is the 4 door version with a 6 sp. But I keep polite and do not bug him about it :) Cheers Nick

Horsepower is just a mathematical calculation - torque*rpm. The higher up peak horsepower is rated (the further away from 5252 rpm), the less peak torque the engine produces. So take a quoted HP figure divide by the rpm and multiply by 5252 (the 'magic' theoretical number where torque and HP figures are equal). 2003 Honda S2000 - 240HP@8300 rpm = 151.9 lbs./ft. 2004 Honda S2000 - 240HP@7800 rpm = 161.6 lbs./ft. 1931 Nash straight 8 - 100HP@3200rpm = 164.1 lbs./ft. (if it could rev that high) Steve

Well...it's like comparing night and day, you can not simply compare these two car's 0-60, well, RSX probably is the best handling FWD in its calss except Alfa 156. Especially last generation 4 wheel doubl wishbone Integra Type R, throw that in a mountain road you will has a RWD feeling...and it's a gas saver too, but less torque, space, door, weight... Well, it's totally different segment, can not compare :P

Hey evolutionmovement, would just moving to the metric system dispense with the bull? :lol: It would probably just get things more confusing than a simple equation for all the simple-minded Americans out there. :D

Yes...Honda/Acura are adding weight to their cars because of the addition over the years of new safety features and in the Civic Si you have a 2.0L engine (no more 1.6L), and the car has grown in size from the previous Si's. I just saw a new Si in a Target parking lot and the darn thing already had several dings in both doors (the small little pock mark ones...looks bad in such a new car). I owned several Honda/Acura products and I sold them after only a short period of time...I had more dings in the Acura Integra GSR in one year than I have ever had in any car...how sad. I went and checked out the new TL for my wife and this and the MDX seem to be the first Acura's with a thicker exterior skin...good move Acura!

Well my brother has 04 wrx and that has a really light body. I lean on that car and the fender pop in. And my friend has a supra and you can feel the difference, when you lean on that supra nothing happen. Im just saying that the wrx should be a little stronger.

Toyota/Lexus are very good in fact...My "02" IS300 has had several wacks from people swinging their damn doors out and hitting my car, and when I look their is never any dings (shocking actually). To this day my IS300 still does not have a SINGLE ding in almost two years...this is amazing to me (the paint is too soft though and they suffer a high number of rock chips on the front if you do not use "XPEL"). I hate when you have a $30,000 to $40,000 dollar car and the darn thing has dings all over it...looks like $hit IMO. The higher priced European cars have great sheetmetal on all their cars (MB, Audi, BMW, SAAB, Volvo), and with all the European cars I have owned over the years I never had problems with dings.

[quote name='SUBE555']I didn't notice the one I was leaning on today moving. (04 WRX)[/quote] I eat my words, at least for a bugeye wagon, had to push one out of the snow today a couple times and I did notice some plex. Hey gotta lose that weight somehow. If you're not putting major force into them it should bounce back as I noticed. Just had to push closer to seams which isn't an issue. :)

[quote name='legacy2ner']I was wondering my friend got his RSX back today after being in a crash will his type-S be able to beat a auto Leggy GT. I just roughly want to know.[/quote] I'm shocked to see that people aren't giving you crap for the obvious comment, why the auto?! I have one because of my wife, who refused to learn how to drive a stick. Our next car will have an MT, I finally wore her down I guess. :D
