I mean c'mon. Does Type S mean 'Slow'? My girlfriend's 1.8L turbo beetle is close to those numbers. Ummm by the way, if you don't know what a bug looks like, they aren't aerodynamic.

O5 type s
1/4 14.9
0-60 6.2
Sure its not as sexy or refined(interior wise) as a G ,but S slow? I dont think so

rsx is garbage. my buddies got one and it is a cheap looking car.. with no go ability at all.

fender, those numbers are off... unless you are talking Mario Andretti. rsx's realistically pull 7's and 15's.

14.9 is slow. Deal with it.

Magazine racing numbers rarely tell the full story on things like this. Just looking at time slips for both cars, it seems like the G35 consistently has much higher trap speeds in the quarter mile. What that usually translates into is the fact that the G35 is going to pull away from an RSX from a rolll, once things get up to speed.

They're both great cars, no point in doing all the hating.

I've owned both...

The G would be a fun car.. but if you're looking for a real sports car.. look for the RSX!

Do me a favor and choke on a dick, mmmkay?

You might want to ask the dumb bitch in an suv on a cell phone what she was thinking when she forced me into a wall at 65+mph.

I totally agree. Some guy post a few magazine stats (which BTW is good info) and it turns into “a who’s ***** is larger” contest. This site is a fantastic resource for the G with lots of great people. Let’s try to keep the hater opinions to another forum. There are a lot of great cars on the road, lets accept that and enjoys our Great ride also.

Peace.
