just need to know what the difference is in the s-type comparred to the hatchback ....torque/horsepower?

LOOK IT UP LAZY http://www.acura.com/

Its just the Hp difference

Not justthe HP diffrence. Theres WAY MORE.The base model has the same K20 engine, but only has 160 horsepower and only comes in a 5 speed auto or manual. Also, the suspension is stockwise.The Type-S on the other hand, uses a more powerful K20 engine makin` 200 horses, and running on premium fuel. It also has a 6 speed tranny, and a nicer suspension. And the TYPE-R is a way diff car. The RSX-R (Honda Integra Type-R) is for Japan, and has more horsepower and torque. Also, all of the RSX are hatches. ;D

Also the RSX has a cloth interior with leather as an option.The RSX Type-S has a limited-slip differential, leather seats and a BOSE audio system standard.

Check clubrsx.com for all your answersThe "S" in Type stands for SportsIt has 40 more HP, about the same TorqueIt ONLY comes in standard (6 gears instead of 5)It has "sport" suspensionIt comes standard with leather, moonroof, etc.. (everything basically)They are both hatchbacks (basically the same car externally)

You want the S...(providing you CAN drive a stick)

base comes in 5 speed auto and manual, while type s is 6 speed manual. type s has bigger front brakes. depending on the year models there are slight differences. 04 and under type s, their side skirts are painted rather than just a flat black. 05-06 type s has different side skirts, star rims (like the ones on the 04) and a little lip on the trunk. base on 05-05 has ugly spoked rims. the engines are different too. none of them has lsd by the way. the type s has "real" vtec and higher rev limit and makes more power. the base type has a economy engine, and makes less power, but torque kicks in at an earlier rpm. also the base has choice of either leather or fabric seats/interior. the type s only comes with leather.

The S-type has around 40 more horsepower along with more torque and cosmetic differences.
