Default rsx-R vs stook

wouldnt it suck if the rsx-R came to america? its going to be cheeper then the stook and still (most likely) beat it on the straights and turns.

we have convertible . I don't think i'll be mad. If i were to be mad at every car that's better than me (performances wise), i think i'll have a heart-atttttack. Just keep in mind that there will be better things in the future.

how much is it in japan? cuz of course there would be tarrifs plus import costs. Also, S2000s being convertibles makes it more expensive than it would be without a convertible.

also, rwd vs. fwd

Whatever you do, it's still a FF car. In my opinion, you never really know or learn how to drive untill you hit an FR car. No matter how great an FF car can handle, the FR is the true breed. But of course, I'm not doubting the JDM K20a Integra Type R is a bad car. It's just in a different class and league altogether.

Is the horsepower 220 HP and does it weigh more or less? And all of the above about Front Wheel to Rear Wheel and it is only double wishbone in the rear rather than all around like the S2000. There are so many things not similar about the two cars. You really can not compare the two.

I met a group of these owners over the weekend and they are pretty cool guys; let's not resort to name calling and stereotyping the owners and their cars.

Considering most people put these big fat sway bars on front of their cars, why would they need the independent suspension?

No, it wouldn't suck.

And The RSX-R isn't going to beat a S2k in the straightline or in the twisties. Also the price figures to be around 28k, still cheaper than an S2k, but a lot of money for such a car IMO.

I think the RSX-R is about even with the Stook in the straight line, but will fall behind for sure in the twisties.

hmmm...probably will be extremely close on the track. I know the old type-r pulled a little over .90 g's on the skidpad stock, so if the new one is improved, even slightly, it'll be a battle. I think the s2000 is simply a nicer car, convertible, and women dig it more than most tegs. Definitely would rather get the S.
