Nothing works better than a Chris except a Honda.

im not saying hondas are bad at drifting or autocrossing. and i do agree that the driver has alot to do with it. but if you put 2 drivers of the same caliber in the same race and one has a civic and the other a 180sx im puttin' my $$ on the nissan.

Rep Power: 0 Drifting doesn't suit FF cars well though and I can only think of a few non FF hondas that you could race competitively the S2000 and the NSX

but in autocross the rsx type s and the integra type r are able to hold their own in their own class. real time racing has had tremendous success with both those cars.

and i dont know if you have noticed but, we here in the US have been hit by the drifting craze. which involves going around corners fast.

"If you get use to High slip angles (drifting) you will also get use to slow Lap times"
also, the Honda and the Nissan are in 2 different classes. and no raceing body would pit them against each other. thats why there is classing.... also, hondas (civics/CRX) are supprisingly good at autocross. In their classes. (CRX is good in C-Street Prepaired) and a little 89 Si hatch is Dominant in STS vs much bigger/more powerfull cars like the Subaru 2.5 RS, Integra GSR ect ect ect....)

the integra R, yes. the RSX no. in SCCA autocross both were in D-Stock. the Type R is one of the 2 dominant cars in the class... The RSX-S was not even compeditive, so much so that the SCCA droped them to G-Stock where they have to chase the Cooper S. (the Celica GTS is in D-Stock too)
once you go away from stock then its a different story (due to car prep levels) but stock the RSX-s is a dissapointment in autocross. it will be interesting to see how the RSX-S fairs in G-Stock
