I was wondering which of these would win. Looking at the stats the RSX-S has about 30lbs less torque then the GTI does, but the RSX-S is also like 300lbs lighter. Anyone have an idea?

You can supercharge that VR6 in the GTi....drools....

I'm guessing it will be a driver's race......

Ill take the RSX. ID like to b able to pick up girls in m car and know that they dont think my car looks cute

I could be wrong here but arent they both 6 speeds?

I haven't ridden in an RSX Type-S, but I have been in the base RSX. If it's anything like the base...the VR6 will feel like a stump-pulling muscle car that turns rubber into dust coating on your fender well. So, if you can, drive both! The Golf has a really solid German feel to it, too.

the RSX-S will stomp on a VR6, given that the rsx-s driver can drive well...the GTi VR6 being a 6 cylinder obviously has more torque which makes "everyday stoplight to stoplight" driving more appealing but it uses more gas. If i were to pick a GTi, I'd chose the 1.8t due the amount of performance you can get out of it for so little money, w/ a 450$ APR or Garret chip upgrade they can run mid to high 14's giving a RSX-S a run for their money....the regular GTI is a 5 speed unless you get the 337(droooollll) which is a 6 speed

450$ APR or Garret chip

Sorry, its a 550-600$+

 

[rufus``]

so why are we still posting this vs. that? i mean its a really dumb question. look at testing 1/4's and you'll find the faster car (rsx is fastest in its class anyway, so the question is even more moot)

The New VR6's are 6speed 200hp and 197tq. They aren't slow. In a 1/4 mile the RSX-S might win, but around town it would be all VR6.

FYI, I've seen the new 2002 1.8Ts run a 14.6x completely stock. Type-S eat your heart out.

i'm thinking the GT1 VR6 would roast the RSX-s....the old VR6 GTI with only 174 hp could beat an ITR badly with only 1 or 2 bolt ons, the 201hp VR6 would definitely kill the RSX.

well that's what www.importreview.com said....

 

[ArtcbluRsx]

ehh....i dont think so....a modded GTI 1.8t run mid 14s? definetely, a bone stock? i dont think a bone stock 1.8t GTI can touch mid 15's considering only VR6's can reach low 15's stock

 

[ChaserCivic]

i'm talking about the vr6...
