Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Dyno and Drag Acura RSX Type S vs. Contour SVT

I just found a dyno graph. Pretty flat curve and a nice step-up in torque when the v-tech kicks in. Though I must say the torque is only in the 125 ft-lb range.
Base power stock was 164 wheel HP and with a borla exhaust 176HP. That is very comparable stock for stock to an SVT. Not bad when the car is so small, I would guess that it is around 2600#. I say you'd probably loose if your SVT is stock and if you haven't done any weight reduction, but not by much. I'm thinking half -> one carlength at the top of 2nd gear.
If you're decently modded and can drive, my money's on the SVT.
