I've seen a race from Best Motoring at Tsukaba with both the Type-R Integra and the RX-8 stock. The 8 came in ahead of the ITR if I remember correctly (got the movie on my PC). But I do remember being shocked at how well the ITR handles. That thing was moving. Heck, after seeing that race, I consider the RSX Type-S and mod it to be an ITR.
Stock for stock the 8 in all catagories. The ITR totally outclasses the RSX Type-S and the japan version RX-8 is really not all that different than the US 8. If the 8 beat an ITR then the RSX needs to get some mods to catch the 8.

I have to agree with Mugatu, let this thread die...mods close it! That being said, no the 8 lost that race even to the itr. They raced again a second time, and it lost again. Then they race the mx 8, and it finally won. Btw, I LOVE THAT JESSICA ALBA GIF Mugatu.

The R certainly feels quicker due to VTEC kick and FWD feedback through the steering, but the 8 is deceptively quick.
I can't wait to mod my 8 and make it even quicker.

i'd have no problem with my stock 8 losing to a japanese imported dc5 Type-R, the car cost a HELL of a lot more than an 8 and like you said is like a factory track car. hell if i saw a real dc5 type r on the streets i would get out of my car and bow. now...my 450hp SFR turbo'ed 55hp ZEX nitrous, full bolt ons, headers, super hi flo cat/mp, turbo tuned catback, intake, lightweight pulleys and flywheel, ecu tuning, etc might be a different story...

true, but i know many people that are really knowledgable about hondas and stuff and might say that just for "fun" i should ask one of my honda nerd buddys which trim the US type S corresponds to in japan and how that particular japanese trim compares to a Type R.

my friend had a RSX-S with cold air intake DC heater tanabe exhaust with tuned VAFC II. we always race at night back then, and i think he's a very good driver, but theres no chance he could catch up with my FD, i can smoke him in every gear beside 6 which i doesn't have. after my FD were sold and I got my 8, i raced with him once and i am faster about 1/2 car length in 3rd. and he gave up on 4th cuz there's a turn in front, basicly the car sucks at turns, really sucks. afterward i point to his car and laught, one week later he sold his and got a EVO MR, he point and laught at my 8 almost everytime we cruise
so don't mess with those RSX owners......
