Both are 200 hp right? Should be a pretty close race.
I own both and it's mind boggling how much faster the GTI is than the RSX. Actually, the RSX pulls pretty good once the Vtec kicks in, but still not as hard as the Vdub, and certainly not as hard off idle. The dubber is stronger all around. I never raced both of them because it's hard to drive two cars at once, but I'm just talking overall seat of the pants feeling.
The only thing the Acura does better is it gets about 4 mpg better mileage and hasn't broke down in 216,000 miles (other than an o2 sensor). :thumbsup:
