OMG, I have to say Honda stuff things up with the Acura brand. The Rsx is the Integra Type R, its only in America that people call it an Acura. Anyway
it has 1.998-litre 16-valve DOHC front-mounted transverse inline four-cylinder with i-VTEC
Weight 1160kg
Power: 147kW @ 7400rpm = 127kw/tonne
Torque: 192Nm @ 6000rpm =165.5Nm/tonne
Compression ratio: 11.0:1
Bore x stroke: 86.0 x 86.0mm
The Lude has Twin-overhead camshaft, 16-valve, VTEC four cylinder
Weight 1305kg
Power: 147kW at 7000rpm = 113kw/tonne
Torque: 212Nm at 5250rpm = 162.4Nm per tonne
Bore/stroke: 87.0mm/90.7mm
So basically it is a Drivers race like everyone is saying because the difference is only 3.1 Nm/tonne. Also the lude gets those output figures at a slightly lower Rpms of 750rpms for the torque!

After 60 though the RSX will begin to pull on the lude alot more. This is based on me racing my friend and we both know how to drive. This is a slightly side note but I have seen alot of people on differant forums claiming that stock for stock a GSR will beet a 99 Lude. If both are properly driven the lude will win. I was rather impressed with the RSX though, they handle beutifully and acceleration was good though not seriously impressive. But if you look at it in the light that a RSX is just a new integra. A type s runs the same times as a type r but a type r was not a regular production car like the type s so the type s compares more to the GSR, which it is a huge improvement on.
