I feel a slight vibration in my gas pedal around the same RPM, it's not a heavy vibration though. The RSX Type-S really is a niche product, and I fully expect it to be discontinued in 2006 (thank god, that'll help me hold my resell value! Acura's last sport coupe)
I used to drive a plushy 98 Accord Coupe and I hardly ever felt road vibrations and bumps, but the RSX is more of a sports car than a luxury car, I mean it's neither, but it's closer to a sports car with some leather recaros thrown in for good measure.
