You're a 3L turbo right? I will put a turbo rsx against you anyday and you will get spanked. Do a little research, while you are smoking up and blowing your diff the RSX will be laying down a 1.9 60 ft. Forced induction on those cars (only 1 kit available) at 5 psi is putting down high 275 to low 300 depending on intercooler or not. We got one guy with out any forced induction, all motor, 5k spent, put down a 13.1. But I guess we could compare aftermarket to aftermarket..... Props on fast car, but there is always someone faster..

Actually, the TSX does not use the same motor as the RSX-S. The TSX has the 2.4L i-VTEC producing 200 hp @6800 rpm and 166 lbs-ft @4500 rpm whereas the RSX-S has the same peak rated power but achieves it with the more highly-strung 2.0L i-VTEC producing 200 hp @7400 rpm and 142 lbs-ft @6000 rpm.

Actually, Greddy makes a kit, and Turbonation makes a kit, so your "statement" of only one kit being available is little far fetched. It is true though that there  always is someone faster...no matter how fast you are!

The compression ratio of the Type S motor does not seem very suitable for big boost.

The RSX is a very comfortable car?

Yeah.  Maybe so, but I've seen one or two of the kits for the RSX, in fact I posted about one last year because they used the GReddy eManage to tune their turbo and I was trying to convince people that it would work on our fords. 240 HP or something like that right? Whatever, I have the magazine and I can look it up. Like zetecninja says "its a drivers race" but that only takes you so far. Who are you to come charging to the rescue? The Honda guys don't need someone to talk 'em up, their stickers do that for them. Hell they can race their own races too. 
Quit talking out your a$$ You remind me of one of those little kiss-a$$'s in school who were always riding someone else's jock; bragging up some other guy. Let me tell you, it isn't impressing me, take your idol worship to the Honda dealer and get yourself an RSX.

I also believe he stated that he owned an SVT before the RSX. I am not agreeing or disagreeing with what he has said; but he has owned the cars.
