This is a matter of opinion and driving skill(which I have none).
throw some jdm goodies on that rsx, and youll love the car, nice suspension, and wheels, and it will be beautiful, as far as speed go the only real way to make power out of this motor without blowing your wallet away is boost

Take a class at Mid Ohio and you may just change your mind about the RSX. Believe me, I've driven several "compact hot rods" and the RSX-S is just about at the top in my book.

You seem to speak from a long history of "stick against stick" experience... how interesting.

SCCA has the WRX in D-stock, and the RSX-S in G-Stock.

not to add fuel to the fire or anything.

RSX-S will smoke WRX in a track

the only thing is WRX will pull from low rpm and RSX-S won't be kicking til hitting 6000rpm

but once you get the RSX over 6000rpm you are on the roll since the close ratio 6 spd will keep it in the sweet spot all the way
