You're right, it's not like the RSX's are made in Japan or anything. Acura is American only, every where else it's the Honda Integra, Honda NSX, etc...

We should probably call back the owner of Top Fuel and tell him to take the Integra badge off of his RSX. Isn't the chassis of the Type-S the DC5R or is that only for the Integra Type-R?

I think you've mistaken Integrity for another n00b on this board because he's pretty unbias when it comes to performance cars.

BTW... Watch out for Nathan's dingleberries.

So, here's where you shut the f*$k up, read my post, and get f*$king owned like the stupid noob you are.
1. Oh, so you think the RSX has really poor aerodynamics, but that Integra (based on a MANY year old body design) is GREAT.
WRONG, STUPID.
2. So the RSX isn't known as the Integra in other places around the world (but not the US, like Justin said)? Really?
NO, NOT REALLY, YOU IGNORANT F*%K.

Since you seem to think you are right on every post, even though you have been a completely ignorant troll the whole time.... what do you have to say to this? (If you need help to find exactly what information in these articles proved you are a dip-shit, I can assist with another post.)



Also, since you never really got an answer to your question:
Look in the mirror. Your ignorant ass and others like you are high on the list of reasons for my membership.
ok, well obviously you aren't reading correctly. i never said that integras have, as you said, "GREAT," aerodynamics. Secondly, the rsx has more head room than the integra, making the roof higher. This makes the air cut up more than on the streamlined integra. Both have noses that are smaller at the tip, yes the rsx comes to more of a point, but the integras doesn't have such a slope.
Also, i said that yes, in japan the car that we refer to as the rsx, is still the integra.
Oh, and by the way. Your article that you found also proves my statement....
the rsx is not the integra, it took its place. THANKS.

Pointed noses are actually worse, rounded ones are much more preferable to reduce separation losses. Those sunk in headlights on the integra are also four very large stagnation points on the front nose.

As for Corvette, BMW, or any other car for that matter do you have any idea how people design the bodies for those cars? Artists come up with a pretty looking shape, and the engineers have to work with that body. Aerodynamics is at best a second rate consideration.

Correct. This new car is the Integra, and only in the US did they call it something different.

Your stupidity is blowing my mind. Your argument is that, even though in Japan (where they make these cars) the Honda Integra line has been unbroken and Honda has chosen to sell the new generation Integra to US buyers under the RSX name, this RSX is somehow a replacement to the Integra? So, if Honda designed the next generation NSX for sale in Japan and the rest of the world, but decided to sell it as the "ass-rapist" in the US, you would then claim that the "ass-rapist" was a replacement for the NSX, and not the same car? Do you understand how f&%king stupid that is, or maybe wonder why you are the only idiot here who thinks this way?

Well, obviously you DO need help finding the important information in this article.
You KEEP SAYING that the RSX is somehow aerodynamically inferior to the Integra....

Why don't you just put down the keyboard and walk away. It doesn't seem as though you have anything useful to provide. Can't you see that as of right now, you are the only person that believes you are right about anything?
