Default Has your RSX gotten faster now that you have more miles on it?

I was just wondering that cause i figured that was probably how Car and Driver was able to get a 0 to 60 of 6.1, while everybody else seems to get high sixes. Is this true? Can anybody run 0 to 60 in 6.1 or better stock?

It should be faster but the main reason the 0-60 numbers are lowering is that people are finally learning how to drive it.

I haven't tested mine yet but I beleive the numbers, especially after breaking in the engine and getting use to the slick shifter. I wouldn't be surprised if I could run a 6.1 0-60 and 14.6 1/4 mile. Know any tracks in St. Louis? I'd love to find out!!

The better you learn to drive, the faster you get.

I don't think any stock RSX can break into the 14's.
Car and Drivers RSX was not a production car so it was probably lighter. Lots of other mags tested the car and they could not get it into the 14's.
