err....not quite. i traded my E1 on an '02 RSX-S in oct. of '01; traded the RSX-S on a jeep grand cherokee 4x4 last november.
i'll agree with the more reasonable concensus that it'll be a driver's race - the RSX-S is slightly quicker and, imho, responds better to a cold-air intake + ECU reprogram than the CSVT does to intake/exhaust/chip, but stock to stock, i'd give a slight nod to the RSX-S with all else being equal.
just my .02...and fwiw, i'm looking at getting another CSVT as a 2nd car now. i had enough of the RSX-S - bad ride quality (especially when lowered) and not very practical....but it's a sweet car for what it is. just didn't work too well for me.
