just curious because i've heard that driving the type-r feels a lot quicker than a type-s. also planning on getting a type-r this summer.

 

this is the look on type-s owners when they think they're 220hp can and i quote "totally smash me!!" ====>

 

i donno my friends type s beat me, the type-s feels a little more responsive

 

Me and the wife just bought a 03' type s....
it's very responsive but my aR will easily overtake...

 

Given:

RSX Type-S '04 ET: 15.0 (Car and Driver)
RSX Type-S '05 ET: 14.9 (Car and Driver)
Integra Type R ET: 14.5-14.7 (Depending on what magazine you look at)

Do the math and you'll get your bench racer's results...

Of course... YMMV... Not to mention those that were able to pull almost 14 flat in stock R's...

 

the 05' type s will win in a straight line due to type R exhaust and a more aggressive cams rumored to be type R profile(i think same parts number). also the suspension has been upgraded to stiffer spring rates. modifying these motors in all ways surpasses the b series. macpherson struts are gay

 

A few of my buddies have the RSX type S. My R smokes them and I don't think its the driver thats making the difference with these races

No. Nobody has ever raced these two cars, ever. Due to the theory of relativity unless two cars are traveling at the EXACT same speed they aren't existing on the same dimensional plane so therefore can never truly be racing each other unless it is an exact tie.

 

yikes

wow. i didnt know you could smoke doobies while working that job for the fbi.

 

With simple boltons (I/H/E) on both the K will take the B.

The K series motors are much more responsive to boltons than ours.

Hey the theory is real I didn't make it up. Pretty crazy stuff if it ever works out to be an actual law.

The argument is specious because (1)Hawking has probably satisfactorily proved that many aspects of Einstein relativity are just wrong and (2)If it were true, then the contest would involve the two drivers trying to put themselves into whatever plane of existence would be necessary for the observers outside their spheres of temporal existence to perceive that one or the other of them had crossed a line first.

It would still be a race to the observers in the cars and the observers in the crowd.

Time is an illusion that we are condemned to live because of our fallibility. Since God must clearly exist in all universes in all times at the same time then it is clearly not absolutely necessary for a consciousness to "know" time.

 

what the hell is going on in here?
my head hurts.


to answer the 'racing' question... 'No'

On most road courses, it's amazing how many times the cars are very close to each other, stock for stock or mod for mod.

The DC2 ITR has an advantage with its LSD, but the DC5 Type S has an advantage with its torque being spread over so wide a range.

You can catch a DC5 driver with a wheel slipping in a corner when he puts his foot down, but you can also catch a DC2 driver "off the cam" when he puts his foot down.

This is just stock for stock or mod for mod.

It will just come down to the driver in so many cases.

There's so much to consider.

If it's an older course or a course where the line would tend to take the car over undulations or hard over gaters, then the DC2 will have a minor advantage.

It's easy to point to how unsuccessful the DC5 and EP3 have been when comparing them to the history of the DC2, but remember that these cars <u>started</u> their lives in many cases with weight penalties associated with the success of the DC2.

Coupled with the very idea of the McPherson struts being an unknown quantity to the big name Honda tuners and racing organisations, they were just more or less doomed from the beginning.

I've put the smack-down on many RSX-Ss on the drag strip and on the street. Most of them didn't know I was turboed..

I test drove one a while back, and it felt very cushy and refined compared to raw and purposeful that my R feels like.

 

yea the r feels more raw!! the type s responds very well to bolt on's, and is very smooth

Yep. Very true. They suffered due to the success of the DC2.

Type-S responds very well to bolt on's is because its got a bigger motor too 2.0 vs. 1.8.

Great clarification GK.

Have you (or ActiveAero) ever read "Flatland" or "Flatterland"? I read the pseudo-sequel first, it pissed me off, mostly.

p.s. I already beat 3 RSX Type S's tomorrow, I just decided not to take that branch of my fate today.

I learned a new word today!

spe·cious adj.
1) Having the ring of truth or plausibility but actually fallacious: a specious argument.
2) Deceptively attractive.
