Default OT: Type-R vs. Type-S debate...

Here is my car's (see signature below to see mods) dyno,

My tire pressure was 39.5 PSI in the fronts, and 33 in the rears.

I raced my friend in his new 2001 RSX Type-S with 1500 miles on it from a stand still. I pulled about half a car length up to about 60. Then we shut it down due to a merge comming up.

Just posting in case anyone was interested

Well, in case you think driver performance is an issue, I pulled a 14.8 in my old Type-R with just and AEM intake.

I think if anything it was the tire pressure that would affect things the most.

\The Type R is a Better built Car than the RSX
I and MOTOR TREND will agree to this...

My friend has a type S and it seems like everytime hes at high rpm the car is going to fall apart...funny thing is that MOTOR TREND said the same thing when they did a review on the Type S

onyx00 ~ you should've beaten him worse. J/K. I guess a 1/2 carlength is pretty good if you only ran them up to 60 mph.
