Well i just got done driving my brothers 06 RSX type s and **** I think it could give my lightning a run for its money. Does anyone know what a 06 rsx type s runs in the 1/4 mile. The six speed feels so much different under acceleration than the automatic 4 speed in my truck.

 
truck vs. car. truck has no traction, truck is most likely heavier, less aerodynamic, but it is a badass sport truck with a supercharged v8, **** it. my godfather had a lightning, then he got the denali truck, then he got the srt10.

 
Yes I liked the rsx better but I do like that styling of the lighting A LOT better than the import look. But overall it handles about 300x better. Its got some crazy torque too when you hit about 6 or 7 on the rpm's it changes the cam setting (i-vtech) and you can feel the pull on the steering wheel from the torque

My lightning stock ran a 13.6, and I've seen the rsx's run 14.0's

If the lightning is modded @ all, its over. The rsx driver may have sucked, though.

My lightning was running 11.5's w/ a kenne belle, and some other bolt ons, btw

 
i was never impressed by lightnings. the interior was put together with velcro.
Interior of lightnings is suede with leather inerts. One of the best interiors ever in my opinion and there is no velcro

 
I love my type-s //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif

Some minor mods this summer and I'll love it more, hopefully I don't get the urge to boost.....$$$$$$$

 
My Lightning wont be out of the shop for at least a month and I have to drive a POS s-10 with some little *** motor it sux:(

 
i raced a rsx type s in my 94 mustang gt before i crashed it and smoked it, they are legitametely quick but still the srt-4s and 1.8ts are quicker i think. lightnings are quick. i want a blower for my navigator. if anyone has one off a lightning hit me up

 
Yea it sucks going from something pretty nice to something your mom has when your shit breaks. Me and a buddy wire houses and he had a little hemi, well we decided to take the back seats out of his mom van and use it. I dont think it even had 2nd gear.. lol, really sucked

He was used to his truck and pulled out in front of someone and we about got messed up a little, to say the least.

btw- the srt10s are SICK, but personally I would get me a king ranch! 'lick lips'

big fat gaps in the dash, cheap plastic.

I'd still rather have a full size V8 truck. I would have a hard time feeling like a man driving a little RSX around town. It's like one of those little buzzy highschool cheerleader cars.
thats the difference between you and a real man.

srt-4's def. hands down best money to speed ratio car in the market.
in a straight line perhaps.
