You guys should read this. It's got some really good knowledge in there. smile.gif

Note the last paragraph:

"It's better to make torque at high rpm than at low rpm, because you can take advantage of gearing."

Ahhh... AMEN Coomer... ;]

lol

i raced an RSX type S that was lightly modded

he cut me off as he was accelerating away while i was going 60mph

i slowed down cuz he almost hit me, so from 50mph to 115mph i caught up to him and passed him(passed him around 100mph) and believe me, he was trying. he looked over in awe as i passed him.

btw that was in my ST-T at 7.5psi

i think you may win because he will be unfamiliar with the car, but once he gets used to it i think the RSX-S would probably win

Grrr... I just gotta keep explaining shiat to people... doesn't work that way... pointless argument... on and on.

The RSX-S's torque does NOT work against him. Why not? It's all in the gearing. The tranny will be geared to utilize the horsepower... and less of the torque. How? geared really short. In comparison... the 7AFTE tranny will not be geared to best utilize the torque cause it was not designed for that powerband... It'll be as best you can get... but i'll bet slightly taller gearing will get better acceleration out of a turbo 7AFE. Honda's short gearing will almost always make it a Horsepower race.


Thanks for letting me know. I always thought more torque was better than just High HP

I highly doubt that.. Both my friends with those engines have no problem smoking ANY hondas..S2000's either.

k, well, as i stated before. he gives him a run for his money. the rsx-s has modifications, the LS1 is completely bone stock. it is an interesting race, the camaro usually winds up pulling on him, but not by much.

nah, these aren't straight from a dead stop.. mostly just 30-40mph pulls. plus, my buddy with his z28 is kind of a n00b at shifting..

i've seen slips of the RSX-S tho, with exhaust/header/intake doing 15's / 14's (with some really good driving).

i believe the LS1's are somewhere in the 13's, if i remember right..
