the guy in the RSX had some horrible launches.

nice vid but the rsx should hav eaten them up.......but again nice vid do u kno wat car the camera was in?

 

I think it was a maxima, not sure not my vid. just found it on another site.

 

I know those guys.

The chase car is a 2k2 Nissan Maxima with an Intake. The Civic EX has a 55 shot dry of Zex. The Spec V is stock, I haven't met the guy with the RSX. I raced the white Spec V from the video the other night. They are very fast off the line. Plus that guy is a really good driver. The trick to beating them is trying to pass them on the high end, where they have no *****. The get 2.2 60' times at the track, which is nothing to sneer at for a stock car. My street racing skillz are somewhat lacking, so I could never make up the deficit from his better launch, and he would end up ahead.

The only time I was staying dead even/pulling a bit (hard to tell which) on the Spec V when I was racing him was from a 40 mph punch ... I was in second gear hovering at about 4000 rpms.

The Civic is having tranny problems (on third one) and is experiencing blow by from the Zex from what I hear. When it was running tip top it was beating the Spec V by two car lengths.

 

<--- New respect for the Nissan.

But yeah, the dude in the RSX can't launch lol.

heh no wonder the maxima was keepin up with all of them while shooting.......

 

Yeah that car (Maxima) is fast. It is a 6 speed. If it had been racing it would have smoked all three of them.

that race was pathetic

 

It's three cars racing down the ******* road. What were you expecting? Top Fuel Dragsters?

 

Theres some discussion on clubrsx as to wether the RSX was a base or type-s and the exhaust in the photo looks more like a BASE model. Just hear say, but the spec v owners are on there at full force promoting their lovely 4-door as the TORQUE monster it is.

 

BTW your a winner 3 slow cars. Maybe 3 special olympic runners would have been a better race

 

thats a good race..the Rsx got at least one decent launch...but the torque of the spev v just pulls it off the line .....the Si never had a chance ....at least he didnt spray ....good job on the nissan ....i'm impressed

 

Ummm ... I wasn't there. Try reading.

Other guy:

That is an RSX Type S, so don't start that base model crap.

The Spec V runs comparable times to the Type S in 1/4 mile, but its traps speeds are lower. If that HAD have been a Base it would have got broken off.

its a Type S ...notice the body colored rocker panels

 

The new 2k2 maxima is a 6 speed not 5

 

I stand corrected.

 

thats me in the SpecV. Sorry I havnt posted on here in forever, but its funny how everyones spreading that vid to all the forums.

Anyway thats a civic EX, not an Si, and its spraying a zex 55 shot.. his 1/8th mile times at the track are around 10 flat.. I go with him to the track all the time.

The RSX Type S had an injen warm air intake.

My SpecV is stock.

I'm trying to setup a rematch with some more of the RSX-S ppl from clubrsx b/c of all the doubters.. im not saying i should beat an rsx-s in all cases, but i know it will be a close race even if he gets a perfect run.

The camera car is my brothers 2k2 maxima se 6spd with a car full of people and he wasnt even giving it 100% lol.. that car is alot of fun 2 drive.

anyways thought I would chime in and clear a few things up. Also wanted to say i ran a few 15.3s in the SpecV at the track.. it was close to 90 degrees outside when i ran. Hoping to knock a tenth or 2 off that time once the temps start dropping.. ugh tx
