Rsx Type-S vs Celica GT-S

which one would you go for? i am looking for something to mod, so thats the only thing, dont care about gas or anything like that.

S2k

gee their prices are so diff. Cant compare like that bro.

RSX-S is the best performace to price ratio in the bunch. Stock TypeS will rape stock IS300. With bolt-ons RSX-S will win stock S2k. Modify wise, RSX-S has more potential due to K series.

But if the price of the S2k is not too high (its rediculously high in Canada) then i would get S2k.

But for the same money of gettting RSX-S in Canada, you can get...... slightly used EVO VIII in US!!!!! Fuc*k Canadian regulation BS!!!

S2000 for pure driving pleasure.

if you are looking for new, is300 doesnt exisit anymore and is now the is250 or is 350. which isnt so friendly modable compared to the is300. (you cant even turn off traction contorl)

for modding, the rsx does have alot of support. but it is not as easy as the prev integras to mod. even spoon gave up suspension designs for the (rsx) dc5 and (civic sir) ep3.

the s2k would prob be the most expensive one, and stock output is plentiful but still has lots of aftermarket support.

all these cars do have 200+ hp, how much do you really need?

Mods as in aesthetics or performance? Not sure how availability differs for either for the models.

The reason spoon gave up on suspension (not really give-up they're just not satisfied enough and happy as they have from S2000) is because Macferson front suspension ( yeah i dont know what Honda was thinking) But surprisingly, its pretty damn good. The old ITR with tuned suspension can handle better but by very small margin.

Kseries is the future of Honda - Skunk2.

Well i am looking for performance with none of that rice! The RSX was my first choice since its only 17K + for a 02.

I am looking to get a used car so i was just wondering if you guys had any input.

So its Type S all the way! + the insurance should be better for the Type s, anyone knoe anything?

actually insurance should be the worst for the RSX-S, for a male under 25, you are looking at around 5-6k, the s2k or IS should be around half to two thirds of that.

it depends what you want, the TYPE-S is a sport compact, the s2k is a real sportscar and the IS300 is a real sportsedan.

only if you define performance in a straightline acceleration.

the RSX-S is a FWD 4banger economy sporty coupe, its not in the same class as a sportscar or sportsedan

s2k...

imagine is it was AWD!!

Lol They are COMPLETELY different vehicles.

RSX-S is a sport compact, it's sporty but will never be a sports car due to it's FWD.

IS300 turbo'ed can be real quick, but it would never outhandle an S2000.

IS300 would be the most comfortable out of the bunch, the S2000 would offer the most performance. On a track the S2k will smoke both no problems.

But you also lose 2 seats. And forget about winter driving. It's up to you really. The RSX-S can be modded to go fast, but it's still a dressed up compact. You can never get away from it's FWD. However, it can be quite practical, decent sized trunk and slap on some winter tires and it'll be ok in winter.

All cars have some serious power potential.

The IS will suck the gas back. Its a pretty thirsty car in stock form. You are not going to get any impressive N/A gains out of the 2JZ. Turbo kit on the other hand would make that car fly. 9psi is an easy 325 hp @ the wheels with almost as much torque. The build quality of the IS is also amazing. Very solid car with a refined whisper like cabin.

RSX. The S is the only way to go. I/H/E and a hondata flash will get you around 220-230 @ the wheels. Nice fit and finish. Huge aftermarket support. Peak power is fairly high up in the power band. For city driving your going to have to wind it up to get it moving.

If your going for lots of power then fwd will be the down fall of this car. As far as insurance goes it's much cheaper to insure than the S2K.

S2K: Rwd, handles great. Decent brakes. Good on gas and fairly reliable.

If power is your ultimate goal then go for the IS300+turbo kit.

don't bother with an is300 if you actually enjoy the feeling of driving.

wrx sti or bmw m3 is better or even an rs4
