The last model Integra Type R is supposed to go from 0-60 in the 6-second range. I've seen a 7.8-second 0-60 time for the RSX Type S. So, I believe the Type R is faster.

The integra type r US spec dc2 has 195hp, the Japanese type r dc2 has 210hp. The rsx dc5 type s has 220hp. The dc2 is lighter than the dc5 and has better suspension. On a road course the integra type r is better overall 4 cars are tuned and driven by professionals

dc-2 type r is quicker 0-60, and can hold more g's on the skidpad. they are more rare than the rsx type-s. good luck finding one that hasn't been beat down.
