nice
my friend had one with RSR exhaust *way too loud*

 

Nice car. I have owned both. 2 years each. Rx-8 is my current car. You made the right decision. Overall the rsx-s is a better car, at least modded anyway.

 

in a straight line, yes.

dc5 is probably the only na ff car i'll ever own. great cars.

 

Please accept my deepest sympathy. Just Kidding Acura is a very good car. I've owned one myself. Congrats

 

nice car.. if i was to ever own a *gasp* honda. it would be a k20 powered something

 

I beg to differ on both counts.

 

Reminds me of the joke on the 350z boards . . .. . . . Whenever someone mentions ANY car, you will always get the response;

"RSX is faster"



Great cars though .. . enjoy it

 

stock, the RX-8 IS faster in a straight line. Hard to believe no? lol

 

Yea but RSX-S' have more potential.

 

Depends how you define "potential." If you only want to do simple bolt-ons, then yes, an RSX will be faster. Once you start looking at more than that, the RX-8 has the edge. An RSX will never handle power as well as an 8 because it's wrong-wheel-drive.

 

Ummm.......it's a Civic with an ego, how many auto crosses were won with an RSX against the 8?? Anybody?? " A better car " ? plz

 

WE REST OUR CASE!! The best time i saw an RSX do on our course was a 1:14, while the stock 8 was doing 1:04, and dont blame it on the shitty driver, the guy was experienced

 

RX8 attracts wayyyyyy more women than an rsx ever will. And thats what matters most of all!

watch 4 the flames @ the end of the last run

 

I how everyone has to compare an RX-8 to whatever car someone else says they own. Also, it's funny how everyone says the 8 is unconditionally better.

 

deffinitly a nice car but i personally would have gone with the rx-8 anyway. i do love those small sporty cars though (RSX, Celica, 240)

 

well no offense slayer, but my friend used to have an RSX, and they are fast little cars, but their handling isnt great at all, and they arent the best looking cars either, they are really bland. nothing special, just a little faster civic.

 

SlayerRX8^^ I how (lol) when people don't read and understand the conversation. No one said the 8 was unconditionally better, it was a rebuttal to the statement that the RSX was a better car. However if you feel the term "better" is referring to it's use on icy roads, than pardon my post's incorrectness. I deem better as having a better track time. Sorry

 

An RSX over an 8? wow, i would definitally take an 8 anyday...

 

Import-doc says, the rsx its girly car ,while the 8 has so much racing inpired history behind it...for me i will always believe in the 5 gallon drum...1.3 liter.ROTATIVO...

 

Aucra's are too valuable to Auto X. Come on get real we all know that.

 

I owned an rsx before my 8 as well........stock for stock the 8 IS faster in a straight line and is faster then most mildly modified bolt on rsx' on the track. The rsx was a GOOD car but not great...the ride sucked, the car was pushed passed its limits easily.....which were reached quickly on the track, and was bland looking. As far as bolt ons go; the k20 engine is a great and is the ONLY great part of the car, it makes good gains with bolt ons and will surpass an equally bolted on rx8 in a straight line......the track is a different story; the rx8 is a phenominal track car stock.

 

Well, when this dude rolls up on an RX8 forum in his last-generation Civic and says he bought it instead of an 8, what do you expect is going to happen? Post pics of an RX8 on a Honda forum and tell me how it turns out.

 

Yep. In one the S touches the e, in the other pic it doesn't.
Also the plates stickers are different colors in both pics.
