Wake up and smell reality.

Bench racing using 0-60 numbers is ridiculous. Our cars take a shift to 3rd to reach 60 so this comparison is always skewed against us.

Both cars are fairly equal in straight line acceleration. It would be a driver's race with a slight advantage to the lighter RSX. However a road race would favor the SVT's much broader powerband.

Handling is pretty even as well. I personally feel the SVT is more stable compared to the "quirkiness" of the RSX. It felt very twitchy driving even near the limit.

I think the RSX is a decent car for a FWD 2-Door. (compared to our 4-Door!)

2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
