my gf has an 05 rsx type-s and my bet would be on the rsx. as for who said that the rsx doesnt have much torque, this may be true, but the 8100 rpm redline and 6 speed manual more then makes up for it. that and its definatly got a huge advantage in the weight dept.

I'm with you Nate, the Solara is very heavy, (even more than the Camry) the sporting attributes were definitely a 2nd or 3d priority with this car.

I don't think that it would lose by a big margin ( i am talking about the solara)
U would be able to beat the older RSX type S though

if you knock the rsx dude in the head, you can beat him!

more inclined towards acura, unless you know if the acura driver is horrible...but don't just take our word for it...knowing that you will loose, let us know by how much!
