road and track September issue

Was at the barber shop and saw that the September issue of Road and Track had our SS' going up against the RSX type S. We won!!!!! It was a close battle but over all, we won in over all points. I think that says a lot for our cars. It makes me feel better owning one of these as well, to be ranked the same if not better than a Acura(Honda). They also said they had video on there web site but I am having difficulty finding it.

BUT did you read the C & D September issue the comparison was between the Ion Redline, Our SS/SC, Dodge SRT-4, Subaru WRX and Acura RSX and our car won 4th while the Redline won 5th, Dodge 3rd, Subaru 2nd and Acura 1st! They didn't have to many good things to say about our car. Worth reading.. I JUST got the R&T in the mail I need to check it out!!!!

lol that is interesting, I have that issue of C and D as well, where the RSX was king over the CSS and some other "budget racers". What were some of the catagories they competed in?

You got my vote on that one...I'm starting to wonder if Honda indirectly owns C&D in some shape or form?? Hmmmm??

Car and Driver: "Well, today we're doing a comparison between the F-150, Dodge ram, and Silverado. After hours of torture on theses three vehicles, here's how they stacked up:

1. Honda Ridgeline
2. F-150
3. Dodge ram
4. Silverado

We chose the Honda, because it has great interior plastics, the cupholders are great, and we love the soft leather on the steering wheel. And even though it got it's ass handed to it in every category of performance ( hp, tq, off road ability, towing capability), the domestics just couldn't compare to the awesome DVD player, and Bose surround system the Ridgeline has..Oh yea, and because it's a Honda. Simple as that. I'm Larry Webster, and thank you for reading"

reader: (flips through article numberous times, scratching head). "What the hell? Where did the Honda come from?

LOL yea the highest chance of falling apart in a crash maybe, seeing as it doesn't even have a real frame

All that mass and no real structure to support it, the Ridgeline is a piece of ****

i'm not a fan of the ridgeline either but it does have the highest safety crash rating out of the trucks listed. i would rather get a silverado.
