Default RSX is Faster than a Porshe

As an RSX owner it's funny when people over estimate our cars in terms of its speed, not knowing its really just a glorified-way-better-looking civic. People will say comments like "wow 250 HP!" or "that's a fast car", etc. I just smile and nod.

Does this happen to anyone else?

My Fiero driving manager has said this before, in all possible seriousness. He thinks Fieros are drivable gods.

haha, I knew I wasn't the only one. It's funny cause I look at guys who I would think knew a little about cars to know I'm not driving a sports car here.

As for the women, thinking were driving a Ferrari, it's all good by me.

I was being sarcastic check my sig. When I was stock people that knew about cars knew my car was slow. Only few people that were use to driving 140hp cars thought it was fast. Also where did u get 250 hp from?

I def. agree here... Those guys with the LS swapped coupes always said WOW a Type S and its lowered man thing probably hauls ***! Then they walk around and see the NX beauty ring on my tag and it was game over. (even though I never had any nitrous on the car in the first place! haha)

Actually to me its kind of embarassing. People Say things like "Damn I bet that thing is fast" and "can you beat a Corvette,Viper,etc..." When I know its really slow.

Ive owned 2 civics in the past then bought an EV0 which i modded. But none the less got my *** handed to me by a boosted DC5.. so therefore i sold the EVo to return to my old roots.!!
