RX8 vs 2000 Integra GSR
 

Someone i know is trying to tell me there girlfriends GSR is faster then my RX8, even though the rx8 has more power he says it doesnt matter cause her car is lighter.... I've tryed researching it but not doing so well.

run while can! this is going to get ugly!

Why, cause i asked a dumb question or what lol

Armchair racing.

Take it to the track and settle it.

Yeah, people here like to pretend they don't do anything illegal in their cars. I say race the shit out of him and find out for yourself. Remember, driver skill makes a lot of difference. Obviously you should race away from people and others property but I'm sure you're at least that smart....

that wont happend

rsx type s keeps up with the 8
a gsr is a lil girls go kart

People still care about driving in a straight line?

They are quick little cars tho.

At first glance, I read GSXR...

I'll save you the time, I'm a long time Honda head. Assuming both cars are maintained and putting down factory power levels, Driver will be the main factor in a drag race between these cars. If you both suck at driving and your cars have been poorly maintained then the average V-8 1/2 ton pick-up will spank both of you.

stock vs stock i think you got this imo

But on paper the RX-8 (6 speed manual anyway) is a second faster in the 1/4 and over a second faster to 60MPH.

End Thread.

yep.

14.5 for the rx8 to 15.5 with the integra.

Send her over with her GSR and I'll keep you updated.

Thanks guys, im just gonna race it... Ill let you know how it goes lol

The difference is people keep their habits to themselves and don't encourage others openly to engage in illegal racing on the street.

The 8 is definitely faster, faster to the petrol station.

fail wheel drive ftl...

Fail Wheel Drive ...

GSR is lighter, does it have all the luxury and feature and safety as Rx-8?

It does not, plus even the RX-8 is heavier, it is still faster than GSR anyday.

and ur friend forgot about gear ratio, powerband,aerodynamics, and tons of other factors.

typical Honda morons.

Thats of course only if you dont suck at driving.

Lemme repeat this again ...

OMG VTeC just KicKed in y0 !

I remember driving the mountain chasing a guy in a GSR a while back during a club drive I was doing.

I recall nearly falling asleep behind him. When we got to the top he was all freaked out because of the massive brake fade he was getting.

I doubt my tires even came up to temperature. Good times.

I remember following a gsr through a windy section of road as well and being bored. When he waved me to stop and chat after, he asked if my lightly modded 95 neon acr was FI. He made sure to come up with excuses as to why he was so slow. Damnit. I almost forgot that I owned a neon. I'm gonna go hang my head in a corner now.
Your 8 is faster. Don't get into a stupid race. It will never end, and the honduh fanboys will still keep running their mouths. Next you'll have to race his brother's friend's swapped hatch, then that guys sister's boyfriend's NA eclipse, then someone's cousin's s2000, then finally a boosted 91 accord with more bondo than a paint store. Be the adult and walk away.

HAHAHAHA


wow its that bad in toronto its exactly the same

I can't help but laugh at all the immature comments on here, I also own a '95 with a LS/VTEC built swap.

I will tell you first hand a GSR with all the bolt on goodies will not beat you, I walk from GSR's in my LS/VTEC build , yet my RX-8 runs away from me with no intention of me catching up to my own car, and thats with my wife behind the wheel of the RX-8.(Yes she's a pretty good driver:naughty:)

Its no contest ...save your gas, if you feel like you have something to prove and want to shut your friends up , go to a track and roast the dog piss out of your girl friends GSR.

unless he is Lying and really has something else under the hood, i knew this kid in a red F**d up 95 coupe civic, i raced him in the wifes tl-s and he keeped up till the end of 2nd, he had the "famous H22" swap and a completely gutted interior and a tune. my tl was bone stock (AT) paddle shifting.

he still ran his mouth on escuses on why he lost. its so annoying having Ricers trying to race every acura with a type 's' badge. or any car that even looks remotely sporty; which in in our case the RX8 Sporty look= 'OmG ThAt CaR lOoKs MaD FaSt Yo"

OK! You want G-Force? Werd JATO! Have fun!

lol


dont they always do that

i had 3 guys race me all at the same time

a cobalt super shit
a honda accord VTEC YO!
and a ford ranger , i was on my way home from work and they kept reving and reving beside me it was embarasing and then you open it up and leave them
:SHOCKED:

Either he cannot drive or was lying (most likely). An EG with a properly running H22 would destroy most cars on the street. 205-220HP (depending if JDM or not) in a 2300lbs hatch = pretty quick. Also, the chances of everything else being stock performance wise on an H22 swapped hatch are pretty slim.

It's so funny to see owners of Rx-8's calling other cars ricers. Anything can be rice, there are a few good examples of owners ricing out there Rx-8 on this forum. My integra is far from rice , yes it's lowered, yes I have a swap in it, i have nice wheels on it,no I am not rolling around with a primer paint job. And no I don't go try and race everybody under the sun. I drive it because it's one of the best fwd(fail wheel drive, lol) cars out there that can handle the twisties very well, and still sip gas. Plus it saves me from putting all the wear and tear on my beloved Rx-8.

Where I'm from, just about any Japanese car is considered rice.

If only the RX-8 was German or American or something, I think it would get more respect (at least in America) and we wouldn't have near as many people ricing them out.

...sorry that was totally off topic. :o:

^+1, While these hondas are fwd and commonly riced out, they have great performance despite their so called "Fail Wheel Drive", too many people think its crap just of the drivetrain... pretty dumb imo considering the DC5, FD2 is on par or faster than our 8 on small circuit stock for stock but what do i know.

Yeah, no argument here of the potential of Honda's. Every Honda I have owned was faster than my 8 in terms of numbers but there is no comparison. But, with enough money the 8 can be in super car territory.

i raced with a auto interga with my auto rx8 i lost to it by half a car lol

auto rx8 equals a real rx8's redhead stepchild :p

Everytime I see (or hear) a civic with a folgers can attached to the exhaust, I rev my 1.6L 14 year old stock toyota corrolla engine. It pisses them off, especially if I pass them.

80 HP ftw.

Here in Oklahoma, there's so many civic with "Martinez" or redriguez..hernandez etc on the back/front windshields and they all sound horrible. If you look under the car, you'd see a 1" exhaust pipe leading to a 10" muffler. Idiots.

Ive been racing in various motosports for the last 5 years from autocross to drift to time attack. (non-professional of course)


SO! My buddy has a type R 01 integra, my wifes stock rx8 made 190whp and his car was modded with basic bolt ons and made 178 whp and had a wreaker powerband on the dyno than the 8.

Anyway, I raced and owned him. So you can probably own the gsr. My buddy only street races and he has been doing it for three years so he knows how to drive good at a street level..

Ive also owned a rsx type s in my wifes rx8. And once again, it is stock w/ only a mazdaspeed exhaust (could be just muffler instead of catback. i really dont know or have taken the time to check for sure).

SO you will win.

Now my s2k will run circles around my wifes rx8 both on track and street and straight and curves! :( or :)? lol. Go s2k! But poor rx8 :(

FWD is crap. It exists solely because its cheap to manufacture. Never forget, people race all sorts of stupid shit that isn't meant to be raced... like lawnmowers. ;)

:lol:

yay! another dumb comparo thread on an internet board!

i raced my friend and his gsr and walked him and i have an AT so im pretty sure you can easily take him

Moral of this "Rx8 Vs GSR" story?"

S2K FTW!

I want some cookies. Anyone have any cookies?

There's some funny comments in here, especially that one ^^ haha

mantheres no point in racing unless its on a track

I pulled easily on a rsx type s......just sayin

This would be my almost drunkent one in the morning input:

Drive both, and then ask,

"seriously?"

You bumped a 3 week old stupid thread....... just sayin

I go to the dyno with my buddy who has an integra. I know he has the non Vtec motor. But with his turbo he is putting down 290rwhp. Peppy little honda :)
