Hrmm...interesting...a road race car.

I posted earlier that 2.5RS's do real well on low-speed autocross courses, but for road racing, let me put some things into perspective.

A WRX will smoke the 2.5RS and gsr stock for stock anyday, road track or drag strip. Throw in some quality suspension components (can u say LSD), a few power adders, and some weight reduction, and the gsr has a chance of keeping up. The 2.5RS, even with AWD, will require much more money/effort to lay down enough power to harness its AWD. By the time you've spent all that money, you would have been better off getting a WRX to begin with.

The integra platform is very very competent to begin with, and it has much better aftermarket support vs. the 2.5RS, so it will be cheaper to make it go faster. Everyone will always tell you to turbo the 2.5RS, but noone will dispute that for every 2.5RS that has an aftermarket turbo, there are 10+ gsr's that have been turbo-ed.
