Default civic si vs. rsx

In you guys honest opinion what should be faster stock for stock, a 99/00 civic si or an 02 rsx base model. They both come with 160hp i think, excpet ones a b16 the others a k20. Which one is easier to modify if i wanted to go the N/A route? Is one more expensice to modify than the other?? thansk a ton.

My guess is that the civic should be faster stock because it weighs less, but the easies engine to modify NA would be the k20 because its bigger.

Even though the RSX had a little more tq the 99-00 will take it in the long run.
The N/A route, i would go with the RSX because the K series is just a better motor
all around.

and N/A is Naturally Aspirated, as in no Turbocharger/Supercharger, it also includes Nitrous i think but i'm not sure.
