RSX type S vs. SVT Lightning

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.

if you guys were going from a roll i'm betting the lightning would have it pegged. i personally think the RSX is a much better vehicle.

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

i was never impressed by lightnings. the interior was put together with velcro.

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

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.....$$$$$$$

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.

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'

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

Stay with an American made product. RSX's look nice but its always good to have a bed incase ya need to carry something big

big fat gaps in the dash, cheap plastic.
