Rep Power: 0 the base rsx manual to manual will win, I think manual EX to auto base will be a close race.
I raced my friend with my stock dx 5spd and his auto base and he barely beat me.

Rep Power: 0 yah i could drop it into first when going over 25 km/h although i hardly do it cause it seems like im harming my engine. anyways all you gotta do is rev match it so like when your in second press clutch in pull out of second into neutral release clutch slightly while giving a little blip of the gas in neutral then press clutch in and put it in first gear and release the clutch.

Manual DX will do just as good vs auto base RSX as the EX. Sure its 12hp less but its a good deal lighter. And manuel to manuel RSX isnt as bad as people think. Best I've seen a stock RSX manual do is 15.7 while i've seen a stock 7thgen do it in 15.9. Auto RSX vs Manuel vic is a raping though....*best* i've seen a auto rsx base do is a 16.5

151 pounds.
on a car that puts out less than 100 hp to the wheels that weight is DEFINETELY worth mentioning. You might not think its alot but that 12hp to the crank isnt much more important.
Why do you think people put on carbon fibre trunk lids and hoods? Cause 20 pounds is important. So i KNOW 151 pounds is for sure.

Rep Power: 0 i'm doubting the legitimacy of this story. Downshifting to first at 20mph?!? Even if this story was true, the rsx would probably have to be an auto. One of my close friends has an EM2 ex, and I have a base rsx (both of which are M/T), so i have a pretty good idea on how these two cars fare against each other.

Rep Power: 0 Dont base your argument on a single race with too many variables to even begin to describe. The difference between an EX and a DX in a quarter mile is basically negligable. There's a 151 pounds in favour of the DX and 12 crank horse for the EX.
BTW the EX actually dynos at around 104 hp i believe.
And if "the only people who act like the EX is so much heavier are the people that drive DX and LX civics" is true than how did numbers get posted by Honda among others saying the EX was 151 pounds heavier than the DX?? cause its an act that they're so much heavier right...not at all a fact.

depends who you have driving. And i dont think an EX is necessarily faster...i wouldnt mind seeing a comparison in 1/4 mile times. And by comparison i dont mean 1 or 2 cases...i'd need to see more than 2 cars making 10 or so runs with the driver's doing both equally
I'd race you Eeeeeeh to show you some DX taillights, but sadly you're a bit far away

The manual base RSX is a tick faster than the 04 Civic SI... you mean to tell me our cars can beat civic sis? What a bullsh!t story.. an RSX would waste any n/a civic manual or auto in a heartbeat

you're not listening. A manual RSX would beat a manual civic for sure...by about .4-.6 seconds..which is good deal. But a auto RSX would prolly loose to a manual vic...it would be closer though...vic>rsx by .2-.3 seconds

If you werent 80hrs away i'd have a go at it. I've already gone to the track with one EX and i was running .1 secs behind him. AND i was only running a muffler and CAI to his CAI, exhuast and pulleys. AND i was running on 17's and he had stocks. so......i have faith in DX lightness
