I second that, your not going to get many votes on the GTS but both cars are highly respected by both parties..

If it's either an older GT-S or the new ones (each has the higher rev limits) and the driver knows how to land lift (not easy for newbies), the GT-S will win. It's a much lighter car than the RSX-S. I wouldn't consider purchasing one though since they are more expensive and are very limited in their upgrade potential. Also, racing an automatic GT-S doesn't count.

If I had to own a vehicle with inferior suspension I'd take the one that's 300 lbs. lighter.

I think it will be a close race. the thing that would make a difference is the driver. if the driver doesnt know what hes doing. whoever the better driver is will wind

The older gts is by "betteR" than the newer ones, but we all know that. The gt-s has a "chance" it's probably one of those driver races..

The power to wieght is slightly in the RSX's favor even though it is heavier. But it is always a drivers race, unless the the cars racing are Lamborgini murcialago vs celica GTS.

not to be baised by myself being a honda lover but, two of my friends own both cars and my buddy with the rsx(i/e) beats my other friends celica(i/e) by about a car every time....but realistcally there is no point on posting these stupid "who will win" posts cuz the only way to find out is to actually race and see what happens, but to answer the question....the DC5 will win against a celica with the same mods ive seen it.

Type S, buddy of mine has a gt-s. I am a better driver, but he is not bad. Bottom line is, we both thought we should be stupid and run on the streets, and I took him by 4 cars. Win wasn't worth the possible racing ticket i could of got. -Shawn

i think that it will be a close match. But the RSX S will own anyday because the Celica GT-S has exactly 180 hp and the Type S has 200 hp and the torque on the the GT-S is only 130 while the Type S is 142.
