Well in the first oppertunity ive had to race i got beat by and Integra GSR 94-97. The only mod i could tell was an exhaust. So i pull up to a light and the integra starts reving so i say what the hell its the middle of the night no ones around. So the light turns and i spin my tires through the entire intersection. Well after that he had a couple car lengths on me and i was slowly catching up but then another red light so i roll down my window and see if he wants to go again, he says sure. So the light changes and i only burn through half the intersection. Hes still ahead of me but just barly. I slowly creap up on him and decide 140km/h is fast enough so i slow down. I give him the thumbs and for a good run and he does the same.

For my first go i wasnt to dissapointed to lose since ive only been driving standered for 2 weeks. But i cant get the hang up taken off. Im sure i woulda beat him if i didnt burn the entire intersection. Anyone got any tips.

2-3k on the RPM's and feather the clutch. If you just dump it, you'll light em up for sure.

selfinfliction

go from a roll.. our cars absolutely suck for launching

ssc

bud unless that gsr had some mods it's impossible for the cobalt to lose the type r is more of a challenge there both 200hp cars but our torque is like 45lbs above them i also have 1990 integra with 2.0l with a type r head toda spec B high compression pistons and all the goodies that come with the upgrade it's got 197whp and 168lbs torque it's more then the type r i took all carpet, sound **** at the botom all the vents power sterring a.c all the usless **** and my SS still wins but on the highway my integra wins becouse of the LS tranny oh the GSR has like 170-180hp and 130lbs how does that car beat the SS!!!!!!!

Is the Type R Integra (I believe it has 190 hp stock) faster than the RSX Type S (201 hp)? The Cobalt SS/SC posts better numbers than the latter so logic would say that the SS/SC should be able to post better numbers than the Type R? No??

Edit: Got this off the Car and Driver web-site. Partial quote from an article enitled:
"Remember the Integra GS-R? Well, you can forget about it."

"The Type-S engine shares the same block, but its internals are beefier and it's different up top. The compression ratio is 11.0:1 versus 9.8:1; its VTEC system operates on both the intake and exhaust valves; it's equipped with a single set of intake runners designed to enhance high-rpm output; and it makes a bunch more power: 200 horsepower at 7400 rpm. That's five more than the Integra Type R and 30 more than the GS-R, and with its new close-ratio six-speed, we expect the Type-S to hit 60 mph about a half-second quicker than the last Integra GS-R we tested (December 1999), which would be well under seven seconds. The standard RSX, for its part, will come with a five-speed manual transmission, or the option of a five-speed sport-shift manumatic. It obviously won't be as quick as the Type-S, but it, too, should be quicker than its ancestors, as well as its competitors.--TS"

yeah but this was just driving on the street so pulling all fo this number garbage means nothing.... think about it even an extremely slow car.. ( say a 16 sec car) can beat a Cobalt SS on any given sunday,... lol nice line your only talking a couple of seconds and if the other cars runs perfect and the cobalt spins misses shifts... ect anythig can happen

DC52NV

the '06 rsx-s is still 210hp but due to new dyno testing the SAE is doing to record hp & torque #'s, it's down to 201hp. the new dc5 integra type R's have 220hp and will spank a type S and very possibly beat a cobalt SS. i'm not bashing on the cobalt but the dc5 type R is a beast.

Josh_877

Do u know how much torque? sounds interesting.

MarcS

220hp on a n/a I4 engine? that's impressive

2006ArrivalBlueSS

Is this a specially after-market modded car? I was trying to make a comparison between factory ("out of the box") cars in my earlier post. Anyone can mod a stock car and claim great HP gains - but how fair is it compare that to a 100% stock car out of the factory??

DC52NV

that is straight out of the factory.

Taro

HAHA i forgot to mention, my car is an LS. Thats why I had a hard time. Any SS Would have smoked it even if they burned through the intersection.

MarcS

lol, minor detail...

DC52NV

152tq. here are some of the specs.

JDM K20A DOHC Vtec 02+ Acura RSX Type-R

Code: K20A Type-R
Displacement: 1998
Power: 220@8000
Torque: 152 lb-ft@7000
Compression: 11.5:1
Cam Design: DOHC
VTec: YES
Car: 02+ Acura RSX Type-R

DC52NV

you prolly raced an ls and not a gsr then.

Taro

Well it said GSR on it and i really doubt someone would put GSR decals on it.

DC52NV

the gsr doesn't come w/ any decals or emblems that say gsr on them. he's probably just a ricer driving a non-gsr.

SS2fast

Well that explains it.

Those GSR's are harder than some may think. They are small, light, nimble, and can have quite a bit of power if modded right. Low TQ numbers doesn't mean the car is slow. I'd be willing to bet a well modded GSR will easily handle a modded SS, especially in the top end.

BTW, I'm new here. I like this place. Everyone seems down to earth so far.

DC52NV

welcome to the site. and yes, a modded gsr is quick. i've lost to a couple of them.

SS2fast

Thanks

My buddy had a yellow R. It was damn fast. he had the usual I/H/E mods, and he lightened it up a bit. Now he's got an RSX S, and that thing is a beast. Hondata#4, I/H/E and some other things. We'll line up soon I think. I'm imagining it will be close. I hope.

DC52NV

good ****. i have cai & hondata #4 for now. planning on other mods in the near future. there's a link of a video over here that has an rsx-s w/ hontata #4/I/H/E/torque dampner racing a stock cobalt SS. they were some close races indeed. seemed to be a drivers race.

SS2fast

damn, I'll have to find that video. I got a buddy with a modded 1.8T as well. He beat the RSX-S, so I might need some mods to beat the VW. I can't wait until the mods start coming out for my car.

DC52NV

here's the vid. RSX-S vs CSS

SS2fast

Wow, thanks. It's looks to be a drivers race, especially from a dig. Its amazing how from a 20mph roll, the SS took off like a rocket, but from 40mph, it was dead even. I'm suprised the RSX didn't get by him in 3rd gear. My buddies RSX's 3rd gear is strong as hell.
