Hi i am thinking about getting a RSX type s. wanna know what a stock 1/4 mile time is on one. i seen in car and driver they had it a 16.3 is this true if so thats shitty. I had a GSR that pulled 14.7 and i loved it and i just want another clean good car.

 

its all about the driver....i never took my RSX S to the track when it was stock....but they can run 15 flat stock........

That sounds like a base RSX time.

 

I have seen worser times then that when S.C.C. tested a base, rsx, and civic si. The type S was quoted as running a 16.7. It all depends on the driver bro, and in that case the driver of those car should have been beaten. I hit a 15.oo when my car was stock. The type S is a good car and the motor is amazing. It has only been out a while and there is loads of aftermarket parts available for it.
Good luck bro.

 

Best track time bone stock on my RSX is 15.4 and on my si was 16.0 with 17 rims.

The RSX would run better times if it wasnt for Acura selling the RSX with some terriable all weather tires. A lot of slip.

Base & automatic @ that which is the slowest of the RSXs. Unless someone bogged a launch badly with a 5-speed.

 

The best times I've heard for EP3 in stock (including crappy tires) are high 15's. Probably from very good or very lucky drivers.

 

Bone stock i ran a 15.80 at 86 mph in my EP......

I'll have to say that's quite accurate. If it was any slower, it might as well share times with a regular Civic.

 

If you throw some kumhos, falkens, or any other decent tires on the EP stock, than you should hit around 15.7-15.8. And a regular Ex runs around 16.4 or so.

 

I would be with the... its about the driver and the car. I went 15.6@86 with my ep3. And that was the weekend after i got it. It had 500 miles on it... Now im pulling about 15.0 I would say(went 15.2@90 with shitty tires). And thats just intake and testpipe. And with the hondata, top end is no longer a problem. They are both good cars... If you can afford type s, get it! If not, the SI is a nice compromise. Good luck with whatever you pursue, but make sure its a Honda!

 

look at my sig..
bone stock on stock tires.
i ran a 15.724

 

I see a lot of road tests put the S in the neighbourhood of 15.2

Don't ever call kumho's decent tires... especially for drag racing. Kumho's are teh suck.

EX can run low 16s with a good driver, but yeah. Most people who've posted slips that I've seen have gotten in the mid 16s - bleh.

What do you run in your EX? My friend has a 2k1 EX with I/E ran a best of 16.5@85 mph, but with a horrible 2.55x 60 ft time....

 

I ran a 14.9 against 30 mph headwind and -2.0 negative front camber with my jic's set for autox on azenis w/ intake and exhaust, so I'm guessing a 15 isn't far fetched but about 15.1 - 15.3 ish

 

quickest EP i have seen (bone stock) went 15.6
quickest rsx-s i have seen went 14.9 with only a cai
and quickest base rsx(cai, cat back) i have seen ran a 16.0 but at 3000ft altitude ( thats like a 15.6-.7 run at a lower track....
