Thread: Mandatory Stability Control?

  1. #1

    Default Mandatory Stability Control?

    Linkie.



    I know Honda is making VSA standard on 2007 Civic Sis, but it'll be defeatable with an on/off switch on the dash. My 2006 Si won't have it! OMG! Panic! ::Calvin::

    Word is that the new Si is considerably more neutral than your average front-driver. The old ITR would rotate its tail rather easily, and that's the car the Si keeps getting compared to, so who knows?

    But jeez, people, if it's raining or you're on an unfamiliar road -- SLOW DOWN!

    Yeah, the RSX is pretty neutral too. The first time I got the rear-end out, I was pretty surprised. I'm wanting a rear sway to get it to rotate a little more.

    The RSX is pretty stable. But it take a littles to get used to the crappy Michelins.

    lift off oversteer. My jetta did it bad. You still have to be a moron to wreck a fwd car like that. Perfect for the average ricer.

    I hope you're not trying to start something. Because there is a certain suspension thread that comes to mind.......

    Can't you Honda fanboyz go tout the beauty of fwd on some other board? This one is for real sports cars.

    For the price I got the RSX for, a new miata (NC or MS) wouldn't have made sense. Plus, my car makes 105hp/liter

    Probably not the best direction to take your offense when you are going against rotary boy.

    Was comparing it to the Miata, since they have the same engine size. (I'm not 100% sure of this, but I've seen it in several places) IIRC, a 1.3l rotary is similar to a 2.6l engine.

    I have read many pages of internet debates on that subject over the last few years. They only thing I have really learned is that I hold a little bit of pitty for everyone who feels that they have to argue the topic to death.
