BUT- all this still doesnt mean that the Si is the better buy.

there are currently 6 type-s at my local acura dealership, i'm betting that if i went there i wouldntn have to twist their arms much to let me get one for well under msrp... as for the Si there just arent enough of them to go around, it's suppply and demand.
Since when was a race won on paper?? 4 crank hp and extra weight of 100lbs or less doesn't mean jack in the real world. Those types of differences are made up on driver.

Yes, I do agree that one would think that RSX-S could be had for well under MSRP. Then again, you may want to wait to and see what '07 brings for the RSX. Since the current RSX is based on what is now the previous model civic one would think that '07 would bring a '06 civic chasis based RSX. Maybe they will get smart and throw the 2.4L from the TSX in there.

does n e one know how well a stock 94 gsr would hold up to a acura rsx type s?:confused:

94 GSR is 7.1 and 02 RSX is 6.1(0 to 60)

in theory the gsr has the potential to handle better, because it has 4-wheel double wishbone, to the RSX's front struts. but off the line, the poor gsr would get it's ass handed to it.

But on the strip suspension is only key in launch. Type S would ass rape GSR
