RSX Type-S?
I haven't driven an RSX yet...I was never very impressed with Integra to be honest, and I believe the RSX is still the Honda Integra in Japan.
Let me know how you like it though!
Post by: maxgeek on March 16, 2004, 09:30:00 AM
My sister has an RSX. Its a good car, but the engine feels gutless. The car feels fast though. Like if you are going 25mph it feels like 40mph. It has back breaking suspension too. Its way too stiff for my liking.

Yeah, the Type S.
I have test drove a Toyota Celica, Nissan Sentra Spec-V, Hyundai Tiburon, Mazda 6, Acura RSX, and a Hummer H2, all in the last 3 months.
I work with business managers at every type of car dealerships (we supply their software/hardware) so I can get pretty much a staff discount on any car I want.
The Acura was by far my favorite, other than the H2 (about $70,000) and although it is not the best deal I can get, I think it is worth it.

In the US we get used to these HUGE displacement engines. A 5.7L V8. Yeah it's cool and all, but other companies come up with very nice engines that don't require that sort of displacement.
There's plenty of smaller displacement V8s. How bout a supercharged 4.2-liter V8, 400 horsepower engine in the Jag S-Type R? Doesn't Land Rover have a 4.2L V8 in the Range Rover? I know some of their stuff uses a 4.0 V8. How bout the 4.0L V8 in the Olds Aurora? The newest gen Taurus Shos are powered by a 3.4 liter 32 valve churning out a whopping 225hp. Or get into the 3.0L V8s used in F1 cars. If you don't realize that there's a purpose for utilizing a V8 setup instead of a V6 then you probably shouldn't be debating.
Given the choice between a Ferrari F40 and a Celeron I'd take the Ferrari

I don't see how he's bragging about his car's displacement. If anything he's bragging about his car in general. And his car is bragging rights over most on this forum I'd wager. Regardless of displacement I can be quite confident that his car is quick. And an Audi is world's more refined then any Mustang or Camaro with their big displacement engines.
If displacement were all that matter my 1.0L 3 Inline 3 would not be faster then many cars with twice or 3 times the displacement. Yet it is.

No, but I would based on gas mileage. When gas prices rise this summer I'm sure my Sprint will be getting more road time then the Probe. A muscle car would be cool, but I' sure I couldn't afford to drive it.

but the bigger the engine the better.
yeah, you can get hundreds of HPs in a 4 banger... but that's at like 10,000 RPM.
who the fuck wants a car that has the RPM's of a Dremel?
I redline at 6K and make 350lb/ft.

try living a country where petrol (gas) is expensive (79p = $1.43 per litre) & see how much money you have left driving a car that gets you 12 MPG on a good day.
there's nothing wrong with foreign cars. I currently drive a '00 Ford Puma 1.7i V-tec (built in Spain apparently) & a '02 BMW M5
Personally I wouldn't buy an american car (I've driven a fair few in my time, ranging from Mustangs to Vipers).
My next car which I'm picking up in Sept/Oct will be an Evo VIII or R34 Skyline (depending on finances) to replace the M5 - the puma is far too goo a car to get rid of.

I'll assume (and I may be incorrect) you live in northam, so a skyline is probably not your best option (toll booths and all that jazz, plus you're probably not left handed).
So you have the obvious choice, buy an Infiniti G35 which is an R35 Skyline without the GTR package, OR you can get another Nissan, like the 240SX, and get a skyline engine (RB26DETT) put in it. You'll have over 350HP because the 240SX is so light, and you'll outperform a corvette z06.
