Is it me or are RSX's really catching on?
I know that they are selling pretty well but I've defintely seen a lot more lately and most with at least rims or an exhaust. These things really do seem to be catching on as the next integra or civic (Yeah I know they are the integra resplacement but I didn't think they would catch on this quickly). Has anyone else noticed this? They are definitely growing on me.
On a side note a Talon tried to race me earlier today. Didn't sound blown and I almost took the bait but my mother is in town visiting and when she heard the engine begin to roar (my engine) she yelled at me not to race! I know the DSMs can be nasty but I wanted to see if this guy was a poser or the real deal! Oh well, I had to oblige mom!

As for the RSX, I don't think it's a big increase in them. Pretty much normal, or as expected, to me.

theres tons of them where I live, but interestingly not that many typeS's. the RSX-P is nothing to worry about, even the stick. I easily pull on my friends stick RSX-P in my 99TL with just a CAI for performance, so you typeS guys would destroy them
have any TL-S members raced an RSX-S? I always figured that would be a pretty close race

RSX has REALLY grown on me, I like it alot. When my friends CL tranny went out, he got one for a month and after driving the snot outta it, it is a really great sporty car. The styling has also grown on me, it looks GREAT dropped with 18 or 19 wheels.

Well I killed a modded one the other day and TO ME it is a SLIGHT tick slower than the TL-S/CL-S. They are relatively cheap too, this may explain why we so many of them.....
I really like that car....

I have basic bolt-ons for my TL-S and at the drags (domestic dominant) I can say (have the timeslips to prove) that I've beaten stock manual new mustang GTs as well as stock old 5.0's. Let me stress that I can beat them, not smoke them.

I hafta admit that the RSX-S has grown on me, esp. after seeing the type R with the factory body kit and darkened headlights! WOw! As for racing, a stock RSX-S probably will not beat a TL-S rolling or standing start.

I raced one for about a mile in stop and go traffic (a few lights). It was an asian girl driving it and am pretty sure it was stick. She was a good driver and we were pretty much neck and neck. But the TL-S (me) had her by a bumper every time.
