Uh, ok, Awais

Anyways, I saw this white RSX Type S (at a stop light) with the JDM Type R Body kit and it looked amazing in person. Too bad it had some funky looking altezzas. Anyways, he raced a Mustang V6 and won

Well duh. He raced a Mustang V6. That's like trying to beat a Civic Hybrid.

Now, put the RSX Type-S up to a Mustang Bullitt, or at least just a V8. Now that'd be fun.

A V6 Rustang and RSX Type S cost about the same, Bullit it near 30k.

Didnt mean to turn this into the racing forum, so enough.


RSX Type S is killing the other guys, too bad its sales wont be that much better

I agree the WRX kicks ass. The exterior is growing on me. If only they would make the interior a little classier I would consider buying one. Out of this whole group as it stands right now, time and time again I would choose my GSR like I did last year at this time w/ those same choices infront of me.

A black WRX with the black housing head lights looks great, otherwise the car does look kind of akward. It's the bang for the buck that makes everyone want the WRX. If it was a fwd non turbo 4cyl, nobody would look twice.

I'd rather have an N/A AWD 4 banger...I don't like the sound of turbos in small engines and they totally go against Honda's philosophy.
