ooooo! im impressed now! with competition like that its almost an insult to RSX owners. the Hyundai and the beetle are cars that my grandma's 82 Olds could beat. why did they bother to prove what everyone knew?

Wait am i missing something here?? That link you gave has totally different makes going at it then the one you listed.

Featured in this Comparo:

Acura RSX Type-S
Hyundai Tiburon GT V-6
Mitsubishi Eclipse GTS
Toyota Celica GT-S
Volkswagen New Beetle Turbo S

Now i'm to lazy to even read the article

but i'm guessing this is what they had matching up to each other. Sorry but the Celica GT-S will definately give the RSX-S a run for its money. Not as lop sided as i originally thought.

im sure he didnt totally neglect the spefic cars. he said the 180 hp beetle which is the S. the topic of th thread said RSX-S. he said V6 hyundai and eclipse GT which is the same as the GTS. he didnt screw up anywhere except the toyota. still just as lop sided as before.
