You'd be suprised though to find how little is available for the se-r spec-v. Yeah they have a couple different header and intake choices but that's about it. A few other bolt ons are available but not much at all. An aftermarket clutch JUST became available for them. They do have like one or two companies producing turbo kits for them. Now the RSX, well anything in the honda family has a buncha stuff made for it.

Dragonfly, results don't lie. I raced an RSX-S, nailing the launch on BFG KDWs in good condition. He messed up the launch and STILL beat me easily.

Results of your race only indicate that you lost. Not that that will happen every time. I have had the oppertunity to try one also. Three time actually and he lost by a quarter fender each time. You can come up with whatever stats you like, but the real bottom line is that the RSX-S does not amount to enough for the CSVT. If somebody lost its cause of the driver not the car!

Exactly, the rsx-s you raced lost because of the driver of it. Equal driver in both, the rsx-s is faster.

That is a great point, however my heart stays with the outcome of the CSVT. Yes I know what your thinking.... * this guy must be either stupid or dumb...* lol I will bow out of this one with grace, I do not want to offend anybody with my heart felt comments about the CSVT.

I understand, noone likes to admit their car is slower than another car.  Except me, I drive around all the time pointing at vehicles that can beat me: "that viper is faster, that mustang is faster, that minivan is faster"
