RSX is probably going to beat the tC. The RSX is a sports car, the tC is luxury/sport. Even though the tC is geared fairly low, it is quite heavy and the RSX has more horsepower.

um the base line rsx has les horse power and less torque.... and there is only like 200 lbs diffrence... thats one of me... to me i would think with a CAI the tC should be able to beat the rsx by a half a car at least but i guess im wrong...

i think against a regular rsx you have a chance, it would all depend on the driver. but on the rsx-s you wouldnt have a chance that thing will start pulling on you. they got like 210 stock.

lol the rsx is hardly a "sports car"... even the type s is a sporty compact at best. They are great cars... but dont really fall into that category.

The rsx from what I have seen is a drivers race.. the type s will walk you. Stock for stock that is

i beat a type s from a stop to 70. but high 3rd which is what 70 is, is when that high redline really helps. i'm pretty sure had we gone to say 100 he would have pulled on me
