2005 Acura RSX Type-S Road Test
Few street legal, moderately priced road rockets combine an 8,100 rpm redline with a slick shifting 6-speed manual transmission, not to mention superb handling and tremendous build quality - but that's exactly what Acura has done. It's called the RSX Type S, and for '05 Acura enhanced the fun factor by adding ten more ponies beneath the hood, re-tuning the suspension, optimizing the brakes, smoothing out the 6-speed shifter, increasing structural rigidity by 22 percent and lowering the vehicle by 7 mm (.27 inches).
