i dont know about the ES300 but with the RSX we would kill the base RSX. If you got an Eshift model IS300 you will get trashed by the RSX type S but if you got the M/T it would be a driver's race but in the long run they would win cuz they dont redline until like 9000rmps or something. Crazy stuff. But dont worry about the base RSX!!!

You will easily beat an auto ES300. A manual '92-'93 ES300 will take an auto IS300, but a manual IS300 will beat a manual ES300.

A base automatic RSX is slow, an IS300 can easily beat it. Does the type-S come with an automatic? I don't know. A manual RSX-S is a fast car though, faster than a manual IS300.

rsx-s only comes in manual. and yes, the rsx-s is fast, as fast as the tl-s. and my tl-s kills is300 on straight all the time
