I appreciate brand loyalty but not brand stupidity.

MY FIRST POST!!
Anyways, that aside.... I drive an RSX TypeS... I love the car... but I came close to getting the WRX when it was 1st out...they had a big mark-up on it so I went with the RSX. Ive read up on the new Sti specs and wasfloored...2.5L 300hp...dccd... sounds INCREDIBLE... and Evo-killer... I applaud Subaru of NA for this car and look forward to owning a Black one come this summer...maybe later, but before winter
!!! I hope you accept an RSX driver until then!

A stock S2000 would make a stock subie look stupid at the track.

we are talking STis but somone opened their mouth and said what honda could out handle a subie. Of course this person has no idea what they are talking about because Honda has some of the best handling production cars in the world
All these honda cars would kill a subie in the twisties:
S2000
NSX and NSX type R
Integra type R
RSX type S
Accord type R
Civic type R
Prelude SH -this one is questionable but the active torque transfer system would make it tough to beat in the turns

Honda, Acura, tomato, tomatoe, potato potatoe.. It's all the same to me. Its all part of the grand Honda empire. Where did you guys get the idea that Honda NSX (excluding the Type_R) version had more HP than the Acura NSX? The engine that they produce here and over there in Japanshould be the same.
If you are refering to 280 that they show in Japan and 276 that is shown in America, this is so bogus. The 280 in Japan is in PS and the 276 in America is in Bhp. Its just a difference in units. PS is sort of a "metric horsepower" that is used in Europe and Japan. Bhp is used in America, Britain, and Australia.
