I'll feel better with the SI because its the highest model Civic.
I'll feel bitter with the base RSX because its the lower model RSX.
Both are basically the same yet I'll feel that way.
I'm sure that's alot of people feel the same way.

Its no differant from a d17 smoking an 02 si. Keep in mind I have Header back exhaust, AEM V2 and lastly the VAFC2. You can say what you want but those cars are not what they are cracked up to be. BTW they have no high cam so the only vtec they have is for economy (it's a vtec to be ashamed of not admire)... Only the RSX k20A2, K20A - R, and the K24A2 have high cam. I never ran my vic down the 1320 so i dunno what it runs but i do know that i run with my friends 02 SI and for a while was beating my friends unmodded 92 GS-r.
And I did beat some poser in a base RSX over the weekend.

Rep Power: 0 i dont know if any of you saw my thread in the street competition forum but i beat a base rsx with 18"s and intake and short shift with my 05 Value Package. Im sure the EX would put up a good battle, probably win too, cause then its down to drivers skill and we all know everyone on 7th gen are pro drivers

Rep Power: 0 Any car thats not at least in the low 14s is slow: an RSX-S on a good day will run 14.9, an RSX (base) will get you into the 15s somewhere near the higher end.
The base RSX is part of the grouping of cars now referred to as 'sporty' cars, suspension a bit stiffer than usual, usually if not always FWD, other 'sporty' accents here and there (body kits, bucket seats, etc.). Its a good car, no question about that, but not one I'd call fast.

The Acura rsx comes with the k20a3. It’s 160hp@6,500 and 141 torque @4,000. Redlines at 6,800. Ivtec engages at 2,200rpms. The car will take most stock B series engines and most stock D series engines. The same engine also comes in the 2002-2005 Honda Civic SI.
