literally the only person who makes sense in this thread is wiki. The rest of you folks are armchair racers besides that kid with shin in his name, where as he actually races but seems to not know much about cars. I love Hondas, but to say a rsx for 8k is the best all around track car is absurd, as much as it pains me to say. Miata/AE86/mr2/rx7 or pretty much any moderate powered low weight/balanced chasis would smoke the shit out of a rsx around a track for a fraction of the cost.
My boner for Honda is only for their motors and Type R's. Type R's are borderline race car tech that has made its way into the street, they may not be 400 hp but they can be stripped and install all the safety req's of a race series circuit and perform very well while being underpowered. Honda of the previous 10 years was a company that cared deeply for racing and track cars, but ever since the new nsx has been canceled and they have gone away from the k20 motor it appears their MO has changed. To anyone judging a Type R, i challenge you to take a stock ITR out for a good flogging and come back and say you didnt just have the time of your life, the motor is borderline godlike with how much it begs to be revved and abused. Think of how many Type R models (CTR,Accord,NSX,ITR,etc) have been made for the true petrol heads of the world through the years of honda and you will realize that Honda didnt care about flashy shit with their cars, they just want underweight fun cars to drive. All the type R motors were fucking HAND MADE, PERFECT CAST and had 5 valve cuts... that is rare as fuck in low cost production cars. I work for a high end german company that prides its self on tech and R&D in racing yet i still fancy honda motors due to how fucking raw they are, they are like mini f1 engines in my mind.
If this kid loves his rsx, let him. You dont have to call it a rice burner because youre an ignorant snot nosed little punk who most likely drives a car that your mommy and daddy bought you or paid half for. There is no fucking way a 16 year old kid can say "i paid for my STi myself" because you didnt, you dont pay for food or bills or live in the real world... if you did you would be driving a 91 escort... mommy and daddy take care of you so you can spend your money like an asshole. This RSX owner isnt your typical EF civic owner who slaps a "honda" banner across his windscreen and has a fiberglass bumper that is cracked to shit... he buys high end parts slowly and surely then installs them, not everyone is made of money.
Let people like what they want, and shut your mouth if dont have anything nice to say. Simple, no?
2 evos and obviously a few others. The 500 horsepower evo was getting rolled on by allll the profunction hondas. But i will admit one of the fastest cars of the day was a white evo on orange wheels.....JUST SAYING
