bump

lets throw in another scenario

stock civic si, stock rsx type-s, stock altima coupe cvt 3.5

who wins?

[prlwhitecoupe]

Hmmm... RSX or even Si against the V6 A/C....look at the torque differences...and I bet the A/c would smoke'm off the line atleast!

Even in terms of Power to Weight ratio as well..I still think the A/C would take them...

VIDEO whenever it goes down!!!

wow tell ur cousin he's retarded loli have 2.5 cvt and i raced my buddy's rsx type-s stock 6mt. its got like 200ish hpi hate to say it but it was on the steeet near my house. lolit was a rolling start and we were head-to-toe and about in 3rd-4th gear, he downsifted and took me out by little but i kept up for a long time no jokes i thought i have some chance to win it evntho rsx type s is light n got some lil more power than minebut yea 3.5 VQ engine will smoke his rsx

The A/C wins. A/C CVT 0-60 in 6.3 sec. The rsx 0-60 in 6.5 if its even an 05-06. In 02-04 0-60 in 6.7. After that a*s whooping from the start. It will continued by the 70hp edge of the A/C. The rsx is almost 300 pounds lighter. However thats not going to be enough of a weight difference to beat out 70 more hp. It would be a close race but the A/C takes it in a 1/4 mile by a car length if its a stock for stock race.

[VQmaniaq]

well i aint gonna race him on the street, thats not me, nor is racing period.

my cuzz has a hondata reflash, intake and exhaust..is that close enough to stock for me to teach him a lesson at the track?

[adidas2go]

Hmmm it really depends on how good the re flash is. Intake and exhaust are only going to help him minimally. Just do it. Whats the worst that could happen?

3.5SE CVT > Type S.

I know because I have one. Although, it would be a really close race. Just do it bro

[JLAUDIO85]

IMO i think 'stock' rsx type-s Vs. A/C 3.5 CVT, i think A/C will smoke type-s...but ur cousin's chipped but still i strongly believe 3.5 A/C will smoke itjust take him to the track and show him what u got lol

ahem! A/C CVT is faster than 6.3sec, don't down your own coupe!

by the way we walk stalk civic si's, im talking buses, over 4 cars in first if you can launch, that was also on the street not track, so id hate to think of what it would be on the track

[jdshift]

The 3.5 coupe would own that RSX no questions asked...........and you can take that to the bank.

ahem! operantly you didn't notice he said CVT like 4 times now. Those numbers are for the 6 speed. You are forgiven

[adidas2go]

I really don't think it would be the blow out people say it would be. Look at the numbers. Plus is the RSX has mods that could throw 25 more hp his way... It would be close

LOL! those numbers ARE for the CVT! it's like in written in BOLD"TRANSMISSION: continuously variable transmission (<=CVT)"

YOU are forgiven

holy **** my bad.

Edmunds got 6.4 for the 0-60

[nismofool]

this might sound like a dumb question, because it probably is. Why is there a pretty huge gap between road and tracks 5.8 cvt, and edmunds 6.4 cvt.

i mean i'd understand if they were within a .1 - .3 difference, but a .6? almost half a second boggles me.

[adidas2go]

I'd trust car and driver over edmunds any day. I couldn't find that c&d altima coupe story so i just quoted edmunds.

[JLAUDIO85]

please go to a track and record the race and tell us how u smoked rsxi dont care what others say..3.5VQ engine will eat type-s

[Hussain]

ya the 3.5se would totally kill it.... although the only RSX i raced beat me lol had it in manual mode with RPMs up trying to get the guy to race for hella long and nothing, put it back in D and the RPMs drop and outta no where he down shifts and takes off hella quick... i was like WTF?!!! totally unfair race. but the car i really want to race and think it would be a close race is a S2000. the S2000 might win or i might win (depending on the driver) but i think it would be a very good race.
