I don't see any 3.0 liter rsx's out there eh? Put the same amount of money into an svt tour and a new rsx and a tour will oust it. If nothing else, a limited slip differential will reduce svt 1/4 times enough to make it edge an rsx. I'd like to see a timeslip from a practically stock svt with a quaife and a yodude exhaust take any of those RSX type-s' with however they want to spend their $1000. Perhaps we should consider how a race between these two cars would be if they started out from a rolling start instead of a dead stop. My two points are that if you eliminate the wheelspin, the contour svt is damn close to the type-s, but also with the same amount of money, so much more can be done (performance wise) to a contour svt.
