should i buy a honda s2000 or a acura rsx and convert it to honda integra type R?

S2000. Hands down.

hey Fast and Furious....that went out of style like 3 yrs ago.

Thats a tough call, but I'd go with the RSX --> type R. I just think it'd be more fun to drive.

no go with the mazda6s it's the best hands down baby

s2000 if you can afford it.RSXtype S are nice too.

Buy the S2k

s2000, and get it a white with a hardtop and a carbon fiber hood and some dark gold rims. PERFECT! always a head turner

There's 2 things to be considered here.1. If money is not a problem, and you'd like to extract more out of your engine, then go with the Type R conversion. RSX engine is a wonder kit which can accept any kind of mod upgrades, where as the S2K engine is rather hard to mod. The already high compression ratio of S2K engine prohibits any kind of force induction mod upgrade except if you go for the lengthy process of lowering down the compression ratio. Ask around your local mechanics, they can easily extract 40bhp more from the RSX with naturally aspirated way.2. If you prefer handling rather than outright power, go with the S2K. It is one of few that can be categorized as a front midship rear drive vehicle like Mercedes SLR. It has its engine placed on top of the front wheel, giving a perfect balance on high speed driving.So which one you prefer, handling or extracting the best out of an engine? One thing to note though, S2K are known to be not urban friendly because it has a high strung engine you need to "row" the gear to keep it on its powerband.
