Thoughts: DC2 Acura Integra GS-R vs. DC5 Acura RSX Type-S

Acura Integra GS-R vs. Acura RSX Type-S

(I do not take credits for this photo. Also, in the photo they are type r's)

Specifications-
Acura Integra GS-R

  • 2709 lbs. curb weight
  • 1.8 liter I4 (B18c1)
  • 170 hp @ 7600 rpm 
  • 128 ft. lbs @ 6200 rpm
  • 0-60 mph in 8.0 seconds
  • 1/4 (E.T.) in 16.5 seconds 
Acura RSX Type-S

  • 2848 lbs. curb weight
  • 2.0 liter I4 (k20a2 or k20z1)
  • 201 hp @ 7800 rpm
  • 143 ft. lbs @ 7000 rpm
  • 0-60 mph in 6.8 seconds
  • 1/4 (E.T.) in 14.7 seconds 

I have owned both of these cars in the two door models. A 1995 Acura Integra GS-R and I currently own a 2005 Acura RSX Type-S. I have to say these cars are amazing, the integra is great but the rsx is just way more refined and just more of everything. For everything I thought the Integra lacked in, the RSX makes up for all of it. I have to say Acura (Honda) did a great job. For example, 6 speed vs the integra's 5, horsepower, torque, redesigned engine, higher displacement, suspension, 5 lugnuts as opposed to 4 in the integra (unless you're talking the integra type-r). So out of both of these cars the one I choose is the RSX Type-S.
