since my friend has an integra gs (who i am set on beating just once in my celi) we got into a convo on which of the 2 cars would win, so what do you guys think?

GT4. More power, AWD, not that much heavier (I think?)...

GT4 would kick arse each and EVERY time, 100 more HP, no contest. Have raced several and beaten them all no probs. easy GT4 fodder.

100 more hp? What about a JDM Type R, thats over 200hp.

GT4 owns the acura... completely different level of vehicle.

A GS or a type-r? There is a difference.

I agree. Short distance from a stop the type r has a chance....I know.

You know from a fwd point of view... memeber this is a pure gt-4 so he gets to use all 4

Good point.

if its on the track gt4 will win hands down... but if its only on the quarter mile it'll depend on the driver

Depends on the track. The new Teggy type R is stunningly quick around a track, so I suspect it would be close.

The Four is hugely more massive, and the drivetrain sucks power.

Down a real road in real conditions, and it's advantage GT4 I think, simply due to the brakes, mid range shove and 4 driven wheels.

The Integra have a N/A engine (210 bhp or so), so I kinda agree with the big E on this one.. And I suppose it's a bit lighter too. And since it's FWD the drivetrain does not have the same amount of loss as the Four.

This race would not always be won by the Four so easy as you might think.. But if the drivers in both cars are at the aprox. same skill level with their type of vehicle, the Four would probably win most races.

Another question is, are we talking bone stock? Because if not, the race could suddently become impossible to measure. Honda engines are very bolt-on friendly with rather good increases in power from small and very easily available bolt-ons.

All in all the Four is better in my book, but still.. The Integra is not a bad opponent.

hmmm both mr_e and illyont are right it would be really close though

if both are stock jspec cars the gt4 would have 30 hp more than the integra however that advantage would probably be cancelled out due to the fact that the gt4 is almost about 200 kg heavier and as mr_e said power would be sucked by the drive train... so it evens the playing field a bit ... if its the straight aways it would be neck and neck... on the corners the gt4 would have the advantage... this would be really close indeed

It depends on the race,we are talking stock with stock right?
If they race from stop (which i raced Acura RSX 2 times) then there is not chance for RSX,again if you race in 2nd or 3rd gearit depends from the driver.

Last week a group of friends with modified and stock cars we went to a dynojet and one of our cars was Acura RSX giving 200WHP without any upgrades!!!! and we had a Celica SS3 VVti with E-manage,intake,exhaust giving 197WHP!!!WHat i am trying to tell is that those cars are coming very powerful from Honda but they need road to get their power on the wheels.

About racing Acura RSX in a track i can tell you in few months but checking the Japanese Lap times at many tracks GT4 are away faster than Hondas.

Doh...i forgot about the new ones, I had a vision of the old ones when I wrote that, brain fart again. >>

man, didnt think this thread would be this popular, but anyways i just asked this cuz we were saying if we both had 10k to put into our car we didnt kno who would win and we said we both had to do engine swaps, his to a type-r engine and of course mine a 3s.

I think it would be a very very nice race. Sooo.. guys with gt-4's go find a type r.. and race.. gosh..

I think the gt-4 would win from a dead stop, just cause the launch.The type r would catch up really quick.. and hang in there. but prolly not win, unless the driver in the gt4 sucked.
