Rex Type S... if i sell my celi this spring, im going with RSeX... It amazing car, my frien bought it, and then i first saw it i felt in love... its a HONDA, but it is different honda, interior is truly amazing, performance is really good, and overall look can be done right..

RSX-S - the engine is a quality piece of work. Mad potential. Plus, I think it looks damn sexy with no spoiler and some nice rims..

Only thing I don't like is the dash, funny raised gauges don't do it for me..

well i'm leaning more toward the Civic Si ..... personlly i like the interior better.... but the Rsx has this sexyness to it...kinda like the girl next door.. that looks hell good but you know she can look so much better... but then again the Si has the same thing... and as for potential both cars are even..... damn Honda .. why must you do this to me.. don't you know i own a celica... you basteders...

A Jaws4God Creation...
The RSX-S will tear the Civic SI a new one...

I dont like the look of the rsx. but it would be hard, not to get it from the performance perspective. I like the looks of the si better, but also a lot of people have them. I think i would go with like an 95 bmw m3. >biggrin.gif>
RSX, and any RSX... The Civic SI runs the normal RSX's 160 hp motor, and the RSX's chassis is FAR superior... ive driven both and it felt like i was driving a van when i was in the civic by comparison...

You should have made this a poll dude. But RSX all the way
i think i'm the only one that would take the civic si... damn..

rsx

the 1/4 doesnt have patience for a ST.... so we make them ST-T's so atleast we'll sound good going slow.

Same chassis I'm afraid... ;]

The RSX-S (new one) isn't much more expensive than a Civic SI and the K20A2 (new 210 hp motor) is simply better in every way shape and form to the Civic SI's K20A3 (which is better than the base RSX K20A3)...

really? same chassis? wow thats almost unbelievable from the way they feel... i just based my judgement on how they drove... maybey its because of the civic's increased height?

Id take the si, I kinda like the look, and i hate the look of the rsx.. i dunno what it is, i just really dont like them.an for the price dif form the rsx-s i would just mod the engine to make just as fast. but I would still never waste money on a honda

I think it would probably be because of the suspension differences. THe RSX-S has thicker sway bars, tighter spring rates, etc... The chassis however... exactly the same. Nearly all of the mechanical parts are interchangeable. The sub-frames are the same, suspension is the same, mounts are the same... kinda unbelieveable from the outside huh...

I used to drive my friend's RSX-S before she traded it in, and I loved that car. I'd go RSX-S for sure. >wink.gif>
