Hmmm I hate to say it *Flame suit on* but my RSX seemed faster and had much better trq then the S2k. Maybe it was becuase the rsx is FWD and I could just break the stock tires loose...maybe it wasnt as smooth or something....maybe my RSX just sounded faster....what do you guys think....oh the s2k handles a ton better...and i love the short throw shifting.

If this car is from AutoSource and its a Blk on Blk with Blk SSRs. My guess is that this is Joey's car. I remember he saying that he was thinking about selling the car.

I thought the one at AutoSource was Silver with black interior and black SSRs? Joeys is black on black with Spoon wheels.

hmmmm, I thought the exact opposite. The S2000 feels a lot faster to me, whereas the RSX seemed smoother. I think the i-VTEC makes the transition to the larger cams seamless, where the S2000 feels like you've just hit the NOS button (i-VTEC is superior). Of course, you're talking about breaking the tires loose, so I didn't get a chance to do that with the RSX, but I would think that the crappy stock tires on the RSX would be easier to break loose even if it was RWD. The S-02's on the S2k, OTOH, are extremely grippy, though some complain that they are not progressive enough communicating loss of grip at the limit.
If you took a ride in my car...its a bit different then a stock RSX. A CAI and Hondata do wonders for the RSX, a long with a crazy loud BC Spec III exhaust...it just screams. I dont know...maybe its coming from the STi torque monster thats clouding my judgement. Driving the S2k around with the top down is damn fun....I was never a huge fan of convertibles, but its quite addicting.

Bah, Torque is overrated............. I suspect it's the 300 HP that's clouding your judgement.
