RSX-S Acceleration
I've been watching RSX vids lately--am I mistaken, or is it slow as hell up until 4500rpm where VTEC kicks in then it jumps almost instantly to 8500rpm? If I'm right, that must get annoying...

maybe it's just me but , when i switch between driving my RSx and my S, it feels like my rsx picks up a little quicker on the low end. only mods are an sra intake and exhaust. don't really think that makes much of a difference.

In regards to the original poster...I don't know that I would describe the RSX as being "slow as hell" prior to the hot cam engaging, but it is definitely a Jeckyl and Hyde type powerband.

Off topic here -
Koala, we don't have the CSX here in the States - looks like a sedan version of the base RSX. How does it drive?

Slightly related -- am I the only S2000 owner who was pissed off because of how fast the aftermarket grew when the RSX was first released. I know, number of cars sold and all that jazz, but it was frustrating sniffing out crumbs of the aftermarket for the S while forced induction, CAI's, and tuner engines were available seemingly just days after the RSX hit the market!
