This has been covered before. The EM2 with a K20A2 would win over the RSX Type-S, due to better weight balance and lighter overall curb weight.

yes

and why would we win?

K20 in Em2 puts down more whp than a K20 in a rsx-s why? you ask

if a k20 is in teh Em2 odds are you have k-pro and you have it tuned so you're putting down atleast 200whp and 150tq while the k20 in the rsx-s probably just has some bolton an exhaust no kpro or tuning so ~170whp.

You are wrong sir, An rsx-x my buddy drives put down 197, and 145

That is with injen intake, dc race header, buddyclub exaust, and intakemanifold gasket.

and an em2 with k20 swap will beat this rsx from a 40 roll. But will lose in top end since it was a a2 vs z1

i think the question was if the engines and all mods were equal who would win?

with all things being equal including driver skill the em2 would win because of its weight.
