Looks sweet, but will it be as slow as the rsx type-s? The rsx type-s does the 1/4mile in only 15 secs and it has 210hp, the previous type-r was faster with less hp, go figure.
Btw did anyone notice...
provides a strong indication of the styling and performance direction for an all-new production Civic Si Coupe scheduled to debut later this year.
So while the concept looks sweet, the production probably wont look as sweet.
the rsx-s is only 200hp bud @ about 2700ish lbs
the old type r was like...2500ish lbs if iirc
the rsx had sh1t like leather, AC, more height, moonroof, six speakers, and other stuff i'd like to have in my car, well minus the extra height, at the cost of .2 of a sec in the quarter
EDIT: my bad, those specs were for the older rsx-s apparently...the newer ones have 210 like u said...and an extra 100 lbs at 2800ish vs 2500ish for the old itr
so extra 300lbs and only 15 extra hp means slower quarter...but again...with options that i would like in a car
