ok, before i get flamed....i am against street racing but sometimes i just give into the temptation....

well, it was an early morning commute when i noticed a silver RSX type S on my *** on an onramp to the highway. so, i decide to give it a shot and see what happens.
at about 60 (third gear) i gun it as we enter into the highway, and the guy sticks right on my ***. finally we slow down and he zooms by. we later both slow down and he said that he had an intake and a chipped ECU. again later, we hit it at the same time at about sixty and we-re DEAD EVEN...i started pulling away VERY slowly after 100.

does this make sense? i thought i should've been faster.

(my mods: Comptech intake and ACT HDSS clutch & ACT ProLite flywheel)

 

Nope bud. Kseires is badass. be careful on those roads.

When it's intake'ed and chipped. They are very responsive to minor bolt-ons

 

RSX-S runs 15's stock. With some mods, who's to say. Maybe he runs mid 14's now which is why he was close.

Stock vs stock MANY times, i have seen RSX vs ITR and ill stick my claim of they should be side by side. Modded with I H E, the RSX should pull everytime.

Once again, not hating, but have seen this more than my share of times, including being the driver of both types of car.

man, what did punctuation ever do to you? can't you at least toss a few periods in there?

i was under the impression the rsx-s was slightly faster in a straight line than a R, maybe not?

 

yea my boys rsx-s w/ header, intake, exhaust, and hondata stays even with me i just barely start to pull in 3rd 4th

"I don't condone street racing but let me tell you about my race with an RSX-S."

Chris - who doesn't condone drug use or cheating, but let me tell you how much heroin I did this week and how many times I banged your girlfriend.

 

Street race

 

right, i gave into the temptation man.

i've had my R for about 1 year, and i can only count on my right hand how many times people really tried me. i think it's b/c alot of the other import people respect the R and just like to stay behind and admire it. also, i think it's b/c many of them have the preconcieved notion that a Type R has like "300 horses and runs 11 second quarter miles"...that's what a ricer told me once when he saw my car at a gas station. i also think it's b/c i have dark tint and alot of the time just drive smooth and chill, so people don't think i would even race them.
