For the money of an RSX, id choose a WRX. Talk about nice interior, not to mention lotsa goodies u can get with the money. But, ill stick with my GS-R till i get the money to buy one.

Well, the WRX is about ~$2,000 more, but I definently see your point. But there are a few reasons why people might not want to go that route. First, tons of people have a WRX, its the latest fad in the import world. Some people might not want turbo, or have to deal with AWD clutch drops, requiring a new clutch every year.
But personally I think If I were going to fork over 23k for an rsxs, why not sport 2k more and get awd turbo.
Oh, styling and brand preferences also play a roll.
Looks wise, RSX > WRX
I miss my 93 VTEC Lude :(

straight line = rsx-s
twisties = gs-r
stock teh gsr is better in the turns and in the end after same suspension mods the gs-r will still win in the corners but the rsx-s has that bad ass engine and the wonderful interior and in a couple years it's gonna be all k series and by by b series newayz i wish i had a type s over the gsr just with some double wishbones
twisties = gs-r

But don't be deceived. Although the RSX--even the hot-rod Type-S--exhibits the resistance to turn-in (read, understeer) common to virtually all front-drive cars, there's far less of it here than in the GS-R, and it's balanced by a willingness for the rear end to slide when the driver backs off the throttle or applies a touch of brake. It's called oversteer, a trait treasured by enthusiasts and rare in cars with a pronounced forward weight bias (61 percent of it up front in the Type-S) and with front wheels that are required to transmit both power and steering inputs. And it's all the sweeter here for its forgiving nature. The Type-S can be coaxed into a modest four-wheel drift, but it returns to the path of righteousness with a little waiting and perhaps a hint of opposite lock.
Understeer is the usual penalty for overdoing it, but we were pleasantly surprised at how responsive the Acura is to the throttle. Simply ease off as the car drifts wide of the chosen line, and it obediently tightens back up. There is some body rotation available if you brake deep into the bends, but the RSX is mainly yaw averse.

Turns out that was a bit conservative, because this new 200-hp replacement for the Integra got the job done in just 6.1 seconds. Furthermore, it bested the GS-R's quarter-mile time by 0.8 second and 5 mph (at 14.8 seconds at 95 mph) and even eclipsed the Type R's time of 15.2 seconds at 93 mph.
Overall, although the RSX might not feel quite as responsive as the old GS-R, the new Type-S provides a comfortable balance between extreme sportiness and luxury cruising.

Xymox007,
I hope you aren't talking to me...If you would read my post I said around here. At the tracks I go too yes the GSR outran the RSX. I have it on camera if you want to get that technical. Just because car and driver said so doesn't mean that applies to all. I have saw it and will see it again. You can't tell me I'm wrong when I saw it. My boyfriend for one instance has beat one. I'll email you the time slip.

I could always link this thread in a new topic on the RSX forum if you'd like more responses.
