Test Drove the RSX Type-S Today. :)
On my way to the Acura dealer to pick up some parts for my car, I stopped by to look at the cars. While I was lookin at a white RSX Type-S, I noticed that it looks pretty good in white. Than a salesman came and asked me if I wanted to testdrive it. This is cool cause I hate BSing to dealers just to get a testdrive.
So first he takes us out on the backroad, 20 mph twisty 2 lane roads. He's goin 80mph ... a little worried but I'm sure he knows what he's doin. Than he stops in a parking lot and hands me the keys. I take the car to 7600 rpm's in first than all the way into red in 2nd. (heh heh) It's has pretty good pickup, vastly improved torque compared to the GS-R. So finally I get caught behind cars so i have to slow down. Finally the cars are gone and I have to exit onto a ramp to the highway, I revmatch the car into 2nd (so the salesman doesn't think i'm messin up the car) and floor it onto the ramp. I think I almost pushed the car to the limit cause I got some front wheel drift action goin and than finally the wheels catch and the car turns, I fly through the ramp at maybe 45mph... hard to say cause it's hard to see the dials. Than finally i'm on the highway and shiftin to third than 4th.... than I look down at the speedo and I'm at like 90 some .... so I slow down to about 80 and cruise in 6th gear, 80mph in 6th is about 3650 rpms not too bad and good on the gas. Overall a nice car, I'd get it if I didn't have a CL already, I can't move down the Acura scale.
I popped the hood on the car too, the engine is mounted opposite the traditional honda/acura style. Playing with the car will be like writing w/ my left hand.
