Stock for stock the type S is significantly quicker than a GSR, with those bolt-ons yes he should have raped you. But driver skill is a big issue like aforementioned and hey, it could happen is what they say right?
Its annoying how a lot of GSR owners have some sort of vendeta against RSX-S owners all because Honda decided to up tha anty on its incredibly aged DC2 platform. WTF grow up all you haters. The RSX-S is a logical evolution of the Integra series and logically a car company will only try to improve a series. The new k-series engine thats a whole other story, that obliterates any B-series engine, and will likely continue to outperform any other naturally aspirated engine in its class for years to come.
Period.
not really, even the old 2.0L s2000 motor owns the K series
And then you must have forgotten about nissan and a little motor called the sr20VE. There are plenty of motors n/a or FI that will beat down the KA series not to mention the other cars that compete with the RSX-S such as the spec V which commonly put down close to 200 whp and wtq with just i/h/e. I've yet to see a RSX-S make high 100 wtq on just boltons.
