I got a gsr and its ok, but the type s has a lot more pep in its step, so to speak. My buddys got a 06 type s and let me drive it a few times... its a fun car. Don't get me wrong, I love my gsr but 210 HP owns the b18c1's 170. And no I'm not going to turbo my shit. Anyone interested in buying a clean gsr coupe? Lol Im in the market for an 05-06 type s.. or something similar in power. Can someone suggest something that's around 200 HP stock and not real popular with thieves?

Its not HP youre feeling, its torque.
Also, they dont have 210hp. The weight difference is a minor difference in the way it should feel off of the line. They both end up being about the same.

My LS felt like it had more power than my GSR, but thats because it had all the power low end.

Thy don't have 210 HP? Ok dude. And You really don't think the Type s is faster than the gsr all things being equal?
Anyways, I don't give a shit what you say, I still want a type s.

And yes. They are almost equal for the reasons I already explained.

I could careless if you want a TypeS.

Very nice type-s man, welcome. And 01FTW, I've driven them also and was not impressed, that being said I stomp on stock RSX's all the time and love the way the drivers look so angry when a car they think is crap compared to theirs whoops them. Has nothing to do with the op btw I still like your car very much congrats again.

Some of them did come with 210hp.....well kind of lol.

The 03-04 Type S had 200hp.

In '05, the revised engine came with 210hp.

In '06, SAE revised the method of calculating horsepower at the flywheel, so the number was dropped back to 200hp although it is identical to the 2005 model and makes the same power. So the '05 is rated at 210 and the '06 is rated at 200 and they have identical power output. So for comparison purposes of an 06 to an 03-04 or GSR, it's safe to say they have 210 hp since that is what they were rated when using the same method as before.
