Re: 2006 Acura RSX
No, not a typo.......it's because of new horsepower measuring standards....

I read that the 05 and 06 engines are identical and the corrected horsepower ratings also apply to the 05's. I'm not sure where I read it; maybe it was the ClubRSX forums. It also said that the 06's will now offer the magnesium exterior with the ebony interior. Which was exactly what I wanted. I love the magnesium paint, but not grey interior. It's all good though, I love the blue.
I read a few months ago that Acura would offer the RSX supercharged in 06. Has anyone else heard anything about this, or is it just a rumor? I won't be able to sleep tonight thinking about the 9 extra horsies I thought I had..... I'm SO PISSED OFF............No j/k

Re: 2006 Acura RSX
I hope they'd be smart enough to go turbo instead of supercharging this motor. But a Honda with a FI engine? I'll believe it when I see it. Whatever happened to that rumor about the AWD turbo TSX? That was a tease...
Hey paul, long time no see, eh?

Re: 2006 Acura RSX
There is no loss in power, it is the identical engine. Its due to the new SAE hp/tq formula. SAE is soon to be a CARB Standard, so Honda and Toyota have already switched over to the new system.
Supercharged RSX? If anything the rumours are leaning to discontinuing the RSX, not slapping on an SC. I doubt the SC is going happen. And Honda has a turbo jet ski so AWD Turbo TSX? That was rumoured by someone who went to Honda Japan. The AWD TSX is a reality in Japan, but not the turbo part yet.

Re: 2006 Acura RSX
MOST 02-04 mods work on 05-06.
I think the intake and exhaust might be different actually.... As for exterior, the hood, mirrors, sides, and fenders are the same.

Yes, it's true! The '06 has only 1 more HP over the '04.
Just kidding. Like it's been said already, the new SAE standard is in place this year so we can finally make an informed decision of which car has more HP! It was kind of weird seeing the '05 with 210 hp and the '06 with only 201 hp!!!!!

Re: 2006 Acura RSX
Both the 2005 and 2006 RSX have 210 horsepower under the old system for obtaining horsepower. However under the new SAE formula they both have 201 HP.

This is actually a good thing because now we can compare hp of different cars without having any manufacturer biases. Now the hp rating is easily comparable between different makes and models.

Re: 2006 Acura RSX
What I really don't understand is how some GM cars are posting higher numbers (or so i've heard) under the new SAE system...at most I expect the ratings to stay the same...
