04 g35c auto vs 04 accord coupe vs acura rsx-S

Hey i was just wondering who would win in a drag race between these cars. I have the auto g35c, but my cousin just bought a accord 6mt coupe and my girlfriend is about to buy the 05 acura rsx-S. I would think my car would win, but on closer look, the 04 accord 6mt coupe i heard does 0-60 in 6.1 sec and does the 1/4 mile in 14.5 sec. If thats the case i think the race would be really close. Im kind of mad about this because the G is so much of a nicer car and we're practically the same in terms of performance. I dont wanna embarass the prestige of our cars and lose to a accord coupe. And also my gf is getting the 2005 rsx-S which is gettin a 10 hp increase from the 04 and also better suspensions. I wonder how that car would fair against mine. I would like to believe that i still have the fastest car among the 3. =) Can someone please tell me what they think of my chances against these 2 cars?

the 05 6mt rsx type-s is also seeing improvements in handling over the 04 also. And i only have a auto g35c. i think that car can take me in the corners.

Our coupe can beat the RSX-S without much problems, but the Accord might be harder to beat. It all depends on how good the driver is. BTW, the '05 RSX-S 0-60 is about 6.5s but the 1/4 mile is slower than a G35 auto (about 15.2)

Re: 04 g35c auto vs 04 accord coupe vs acura rsx-S

and the auto Z may have been a bad driver. Some good auto Z drivers are getting 14.0-14.3 which is better than the best accords can get stock. I think just brake torque to 1700rpm, launch and go for it...you should win.

Also ive heard the rsx-s would lose in a straight away but in a road with some twisties it would be hard to beat. Is that tru?? Because the last thing i want is to lose to my gf in a race. lol

Don't underestimate the 6 speed Accord coupes, they have a hidden bite in there. And don't underestimate every RSX that you see. The base RSX's are a joke, everyone knows that. The Type S's are a bit more serious. But if you see a lowered RSX S thats very clean and the driver looks like he knows his sh*t, watch out. With intake/exhaust and Hondata ECU they are amazingly fast.

Re: 04 g35c auto vs 04 accord coupe vs acura rsx-S

I would like to say that not all base RSX's are a joke though. My buddy's friend got the base so that he could throw in a JDM K20A in there. Don't underestimate any car.

And yes, the 05 RSX-S has better suspension, increased mm sway bars, same torque, but 10 more hp. They also weigh a lil more than the 04 as well.

On a road course, you'll lose to the RSX, but you should beat it on a straight.


It's still a G thang!!
