i love how underestimated the rsx type s is. it has the same powerplant and weighs less than 100 pounds more. i do admit driving a s2000 would be more fun (rearwheel drive), but the rsx is pretty practical for what you get out of it
keep in mind there is more hp loss through a drivetrain that has to travel from the engine in the front to the rear axle, as opposed to a front engine with the drivetrain that only has to transfer power to the front axles right under it.. but yes, without a passenger the s2k would have slowly pulled away from the rsx.
First, I seriously doubt that autocross events are much cheaper than 20$ (10 for entry 10 for races) a day, which what I pay to have unlimited runs at my local dragstrip. Second, quarter mile racing DOES require skills. Those that think otherwise are people who never tried it. And when you step on the track for the first time and get beaten in a straight line by a car that as less power than you, you understand why. That being said, autocross events do offer decent fun for the money.
Okay, a thumbsdown like I lied? The soft rubber from drag slicks that was literally boiling was making my car stick to the road like gum on hot pavement. Therefore it slowed my car down a lot. What's faster, rolling a ball across glass or gum?
When I drove my B16A '94 Civic Si down the strip, it was actually slowed down from all the dragsters that went before me. All the rubber they laid on the track was resistance and slowed my car down a ton, so I ran a 15.5. Isn't that nuts?
they both weigh about the same, f20c vs k20a, f20 has about 40hp, and 20 trq on it, not 2 mention lower center of gravity, stiffer chassis, power to the wheels is more effiecient assuming their both on stock suspension. Cant tell if rsx is lowered or not. My buddy has an eg with full skunk 2, and other buddy s2k with stock suspension. The s2k runs circles around it, my gf has an mr-s, thing runs circles around it as well, sports car is sports car, chassis is designed 2 be different.
@eurotuner99 What is your time in the 1/4mile I have seen some RSX do like 10secs..... z28 come on... That is a nice car but they have alot more fast cars out there...
All depends on the year s2000 you race. I have had 3 of them and they got progressively faster over the years. Generally speaking 00-01 are the slowest, put down 180ish whp and run mid 14 sec 1/4 miles with the 02-03 only being marginally better. 04-05 usually put down 200ish whp run 14.0 to 13.9.The 06-09 usually put down 220ish whp and as fast as mid 13s.The only na 4cyl i ever lost to period(and ive raced a ton of them)in my 08 was a full bolt on and tuned JDM type-r k20a swapped civic hatch.
My father owns a 2003 S2k, I asked him alot of times for little rides with his car and it is really impressive, I brought a 2003 RSX-S yesterday and it kinda looks almost the same, but I must admit that the S2K has a little bit more power (All on that 10k rpm) and it's much more fun to drive too, I mean, no cars have the same handling than the S2K excepts for supercars or Porsches, For the practical side, the RSX is better tho, more places, heated seats, all equiped, enough place to sleep lol
@eurotuner99 Even if I agree with you on the fact that rsx's aren't drag machines, we do not care about being beaten by muscles cars. We just do it for fun. Racing the quarter mile is the cheapest way to race the legally ;) We keep it on the track !
@dietrichian Oh boy... As much as i love rear wheel drive cars, especially old school muscle (currently owning three v8 rwd cars which i dragrace), your logic does not make sense. You could have a rwd car with 150hp and it would be destroyed by a fwd car with 500hp. The 1/4 mile time is affected by many more factors than just front or rear wheel drive.
To the ground they are almost identical in power, as the s2k looses around 30-40hp from drive shaft. So most of the time a rsx will take an s2k depending on driver and depending on motor. Although im still going to buy an s2k , because theyre nicer, more fun to drive and slide
@notronj69 4000 grand is 4 million dollars genius. when you say grand, you are saying 1000, and when you say 4000 in front of it, you are saying 4000 * 1000
the s2k has a better top speed than the rsx yeah....but its not faster trust me....i own one and i already have race s2000...up to 180 kmh i was at least equal to the s2k and sometime a little bit faster.
Lol fully build d series isn't that great sohc only produce so much power and torque k series is a much better motor to build BTW not hating.. I got a 96 civic ex 1.6l sohc and k series beats me anytime
@MaddDogg81 And your rsx is still slow. Stop posting that you have one on every honda vid, and maybe we will forget how slow your car is. My fully built d-series will will destroy your turbo rsx and it only a sohc.

my girl has an 03 rsx type s with cai,rh,exhaust,kproV4,and k20/24 and my s2k is an 05 bone stock. sad to say but she walks me everytime haha

Close race....doesn't matter if it was a 10sec or a 14sec race.
Still a good race! Props to both machines.

@VitaminE6SS also a 900 pound weight advantage even with a passenger, a s2k only ways 2100 lbs
@shaundiedrinksdew
same powerplant as what?
not the same as the s2000.....
14.7 in a s2000 ? i bought a used one with a intake and it ran 14 flat
Nice race boys. What'd yall run 14's?
@eurotuner99 Even if I agree with you on the fact that rsx's aren't drag machines, we do not care about being beaten by muscles cars. We just do it for fun. Racing the quarter mile is the cheapest way to race the legally ;) We keep it on the track !
@karsseboomh22 what about the NSX?
Nice Run!
@dietrichian Oh boy... As much as i love rear wheel drive cars, especially old school muscle (currently owning three v8 rwd cars which i dragrace), your logic does not make sense. You could have a rwd car with 150hp and it would be destroyed by a fwd car with 500hp. The 1/4 mile time is affected by many more factors than just front or rear wheel drive.
s2k had passenger. There is no debating which of the two would win. S2k all the way stock vs stock.
That seems right. The s2k only has like a 35hp advantage over the type s.
To the ground they are almost identical in power, as the s2k looses around 30-40hp from drive shaft. So most of the time a rsx will take an s2k depending on driver and depending on motor. Although im still going to buy an s2k , because theyre nicer, more fun to drive and slide
@tyxium nsx na2 were hitting 12s bone stock........
@notronj69
4000 grand is 4 million dollars genius. when you say grand, you are saying 1000, and when you say 4000 in front of it, you are saying 4000 * 1000
@ap2inthedeep yea high 12's
i drive my rsx for the looks mostly and its handling. It is not a fast car. ill probly get a 350z sometime in the future.
It's ok... I didn't want to see the race end anyways...
@fasthonda lmao yea dogg thats crazy i hate wen that happen!!!!
The s2k is much quicker than the rsx. If he didn't have a passenger he would be about 2-3 car lengths at the end.
that was pretty sweet
@plefrancois The honda is also a great daily driver :)
nah, s2k had a passenger, that's about right
my stock 2002 s2000 hit 14.10
I bought an S because shifting on a cable trans blows
@karsseboomh22 honda NSX can do 13-14s........
Its true tho, look up the other s2k vs rsx vids, lightly modded rsx can take s2ks..:(
Close.
@neerredd idk what ur smoking
RWD FTW!!!
The sound of VTEC D:
no offence but rsx driver should have practiced his launches
I rip S2K's. K24a2 swapped tho. From a dig a good S2K driver will pull me til third then I catch em. FWD FTL :(
the guy in the s2000 doesn't know how to drive...
yikes........driver mod needed.
thought the s2000 woulda taken it by a lot more.. slow..
the s2k has a better top speed than the rsx yeah....but its not faster trust me....i own one and i already have race s2000...up to 180 kmh i was at least equal to the s2k and sometime a little bit faster.
sounds like a honda to me +1 dont forget to take out your spare...... fuses that a lot o weight!
S2k is faster than typeS even that dc5 typeR i've driven all of them and i can tell you s2k is the fastest
marvin gonzalez there is no way a s2000 would take a type r
my type r swapped ep3 walked an ap2, twice.
Rsx type s baby
Lol fully build d series isn't that great sohc only produce so much power and torque k series is a much better motor to build BTW not hating..
I got a 96 civic ex 1.6l sohc and k series beats me anytime
the ,s2000 is not lighter than the rsx its actually heavier
Dusty Thibodaux wrong curb weight the s2k is heavier by 100lbs
Plus s2k respond amazing to turbo, and moddifed would smoke a dc5/rsx
lol RSX is too slow
Rsx should of smoked that s2k shots are slow dc4
s2000 would have definetly won, i myself have kept up with 350z's let alone some lame ass rsx's
@MaddDogg81 And your rsx is still slow. Stop posting that you have one on every honda vid, and maybe we will forget how slow your car is. My fully built d-series will will destroy your turbo rsx and it only a sohc.
