unfortunately, there are some pretty moronic RSX owners out there that give a bad name to all of the decent owners. you're comparing a 14.9 car to a 13.7 car, and let's not even mention anything that requires turning such as auto-x. the RSX, I hate to say, is almost as bad, if not worse, than the SRT4 in terms of handling. 
any rsx fanboi who thinks the RSX has something on the S2000 is wearing cool little RSX-shaded glasses. it takes how much in mods just to keep up with an S2000 from a roll, and even that much more from a stop? and then the S2000 gets a simple $600 mod like gears, and now the RSX once again has no chance. how many n/a RSX's can hit 13.3 or better? I bet I can count them on one hand.
the rsx is a completely different car, built for a different purpose. it's a great car for an import lover that wants something tunable. i actually like the RSX. but them comparing the performance of the RSX to the S2000 would be like us comparing the S2000 to a C5/C6.
/rant. I suppose I'm feeding the trolls.

I have had a few RSX-S run-ins in the last few months, including a boosted RSX which was quite quick. The one I raced in this story, was not.
I was at an ice cream place (only in wisconsin do people buy ice cream when it's 20 degrees out), and came outside to see some tool in his RSX sitting next to my car. As I got to my car, he rolled the window down and goes "sup you wanna run"? I'm like WTF. Do you have that little of a life that you drive around, find a nice car, park next to it, and wait for the owner to come by so you can ask him if you want to run?
I told him politely no that's quite alright. (i know i turned down a race, mark it in the books) He's like, "yeah stupid S2000 owners, always afraid to race someone faster". I say to him as I get in my car "and what is it that makes your RSX so darn fast". He's like "hondata i/h/e and some other stuff.... outta your league". Wow, I didn't realize a car owner could get so pissed off and butt hurt that someone didn't want to bother wasting the gas to race him.
With that, I get in my car and drive off. Of course, the asshat follows me. We're in downtown west bend, where it's a 30mph zone, and there's no way in hell I'm going to race in this cop infested area. This clown is just speeding up, and then slowing down. I'm in the left lane, and he goes zipping by in the right, puts flashers on and then slows back down. He then gets next to me, drops it into 2nd gear and sits there. I still don't bite, so he takes off again, pretending he's racing someone (insert speed racer theme here) and then stays ahead of me. I figure this is the end of it.
The light at the next intersection turns just before he gets there, and he SLAMS on brakes to make sure he gets lined up next to me. I'm at the light, and he's revving his car. I do nothing. I know that regardless of what I do, he's going to go off into his own little world and pretend to race someone again. At this point, I've had enough of the little f*cker, and now I'm more than willing to oblige since we're on the outside edge of town.
The light turns, I do a quick rolling start, and he goes to take off. I mash the gas, and we're off. 1st gear, I'm walking. 2nd gear, still walking. 3rd gear, and I'm walkity the walking man walkin' and a walkin'. I've got probably 7 cars on him by the time I hit 80 or 90, and I shut down. After I shut down, he keeps going a little, then slams on his brakes and makes a turn, trying to act as if he had never really been racing. Loser.

As far as the race-sorry you had to run into such a moron who, as you said, has no life. Please do not think all of the RSX owners are like this. The guys I hang out with in both San Antonio and Houston give accolades to other cars. Nothing but props to the S2000. And an RSX with full bolt ons and hondata is def not enough to keep up with a geared S2K.
Nice kill to a douche

Why is RSX's owners always hate our s2k? Dont you guys think so, they gotta argue that RSX-S will beat an S2k no matter what. That's pertty crazy, why can't they respect our car and leave us alone even tho we respect the RSXs so much
Enough with the stereotypes.
