    Default Celica GT-S or RSX Type S?

    Who would win in drag and/or on autox/circuit?

    Type S is faster (prob. around 195whp) and more sports oriented... while the GT-S is more on the flashy side and has less power (around 168-175whp).

    how would the type-s have 195 whp stock, they only have 200 crank??? I would figure around 175ish

    Bad driver.

    Check out what a GSR (performs less then the Type-R) does to a GT-S, lol.

    Well I'm no car wiz, but I'm sure the AWD would weigh it down more than make it faster unless the engine has enough power to counter the weight.

    the question is track speed, not to mention the old bodystyle might weigh less. Im simply speculating I have no facts. I wanna hear from someone who knows.

    The owner of the celica says it in the comments, and i remember when the video was posted BACK IN 2000 "when the gts first came out" on honda connection, it was like the streetfire.net of that time. the site is long gone now. But they had soo many races on that same road.

    "that's my Celica and it's bone stock, the integra has an intake and exhaust but it has some 22lbs rims on it.. he had me by a couple of feet, but it was my 3rd race ever and this was in July/august of 2000"

    GT4s are nice.....but for the cost of the rsx-s,could get a 6gc with 3sgte swap and blow the doors off both of them on a road course or drag

    I had a rsx-s and i have driven the gt-s and i say hands down the rsx because all u need is some dc header's and kpro and u have a nice quick (S) for what it is and it will out run the gt-s hands down.

    I'd pick the Type S. With bolt ons like header, TP, catback and Kpro, that car is to be tinker with. It's light too.

    alright the RSX makes 210hp with a 2.0l engine and weighs 27xx pounds
    the celica makes 180hp with a 1.8L and weighs 2500 pounds

    so thats pretty damn even,i think it just comes down to which one u like more
