Definately rsx type-s... Those things can reach 250whp n/a with i/h/e, intake mani, cam, k-pro ecu. 700whp turbo might be too strong for FF cars but imagine drivin 10k redline 250whp na monster.. =)

RSX Type S as the daily driver and my Evo as my track monster.

Anything above 250whp on a FWD is a pain in the butt when you floor it. I hated my RSX because of that.

Sorry to all of you Neon owners, but it's just my opinion. I just think that the Neon is just plain ooooooooogly.

I owned an 02 RSX Type S, and if I hadn't been disgruntled with my local Acura service, I'd still have it. Although it's not a rocket ship, you'll swear that the exhaust note is the best you've ever heard. And the Bose stereo sounded great at any volume. Shifted beyond perfect. Loved it!

My prediction is that the new Avenger will be "Chrysler's Evo." Chrysler has already said that the Avenger will have an AWD option, as they have said that there would be an SRT version. Hmmm.

Sure it doesn't have the build quality or the resale value of a honda or an acura, but lets be realistic, we drive mitsubishis, we should be the last people to b!tch about build quality and resale value (I know everyone here has at least one annoying squeak in their dash).
Very well said.. I used to have an srt-4 "neon" before my evo... and I loved it.. I have not driven the RSX.. So i cant talk ****. but like everyone else in here is saying..
Fast=SRT-4
Little taste of luxury=RSX or RSX TYPE-S

You can turbo a RSX-S and make just as much power as an Srt with a turbo upgrade. You can even spend some money and make mid 200's worth pf hp all motor. Buy a set of IPS KME cams, and Hondata with a good header, and exhaust. 240-250whp all motor.

If you spend the extra money and upgrade the internals and lower the compression a wee bit, you can make tons of power, and have the nice interior to go with it.
