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?

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

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.

If you want to FEEL something, the VR6 is the shit. I still remember the first time I rode in a VR6 Jetta AUTOMATIC of all things, and was VERY torquey. The Vr6 is heavier and causes the car to understeer a bit more than the 1.8T (sounds like a SOHC Civic engine, but it's got potential).
