To be honest that whole thing is :ghey: .... the video sucked, a bunch of punk ass kids, and on top of that street racing with lots of cars around. F*cking stupid.

I guess I am old .... or smart

LOL, who was going to beat him up? Those other limp wristed teenagers in the video? Besides, that's not a real race scene, no one would race on a crowded street like that.

So my question would be who the hell would make a bet with someone they dont know and not have someone hold the money until its over?? How do you know the guy has 80 bucks on him? Comedy...

The classic video of this would be the Civic spanking the Viper. That was a great one...

This reminds me of the vid where a WRX smoked a Z06 and the owner of the Z06 didn't pay the WRX dude his money and called the cops to break the street race off!!! It was posted in many car forums as well!!!

Impressive.....but i witnessed better....
neon Srt-4 slightly modified but never found out how spanked an 04 M3 right on my street the other night.....DAMN it was loud. woke me up and i walked outside to check it out and was astonished. The srt-4 took the M3 in a standing quater mile give or take a few yards. couldnt belive it. especially being that the M3 is of my favs. Anyway cops came and arrested the dude in the M3...hahah. The neon had a roar of a classic muscle car. apperntly he lives in my town so i will find him and take some pics. Has to be worked to the bones!!!

Gilboman never answers to threads reporting that somehow BMWs eat the dust against competition.

You know, he's really good at praising BMW, it flatters his ego, but when a BMW loses to a TSX in the speed world challenge, or when it gets a negative review or anything negative about BMW, he is nowhere to be seen. Pretty funny how, in adversity he becomes soo discreet, huh!

Interesting race, I'd like to know how much WHP that RSX was putting down. My buddy has a turbo charged Integra running about 13.0's at the track, trying to break into the 12's. Him and my buddy with an 2004 M3 started from a 60mph roll and the integra was with him the whole time. The integra has a few mods along with the turbo, but stock internals.

I would've loved to race the guy with the M3 off the line in my STi. My best so far is a 12.86 1/4 mile time. The best that I've seen a stock M3 run so far is 12.7. There's no point in talking shit, I would've loved to see the RSX take the M3 off the line. And lets be realistic, with that much traffic, there's no way you're going to get to 160. Can the Acura RSX even reach those speeds? Most likely he has the governor removed and replaced with a different or reflashed ECU. Awesome race, never underestimate a turbo charged car, especially a car as light as the RSX.

l8ers

Rsx Vs M3

Hey guys!

Well, to tell you the truth I really think the m3 owner just isn't a good driver. I mean, that m3 should of wrecked that rsx, pretty bad. From what I have experienced, there is just not to much pull in a four cylinder. Now, I dont know to much about this turbo kit. But, My bro's got a 2001 Cobra and that thing still jerks you back pretty nasty at 80mph.(maybe cause that has about 320hp V8) .Then again, they seem to not know much about automobiles. I still think TSX owns!!!!!!!! I have yet to show my 1 month old Artic Blue/non-navi/auto

please explain how you can screw up driving a smg??? did he flip the paddle on the left instead of flipping the one on the right? maybe he was driving with the parking break on?? u seen the weight and horsepower ratios the other guys posted. the rsx should've won especially since they were starting from 50 or whatever meaning the rsx would've been in its powerband also. if it was started from a dig then it might've been a different ending

Im sorry, but any monkey behind the wheel can drive in a straight line. I dont think shifting was the problem. He just got PWN3D by a faster car.

And besides, there were doing a rolling start. Shifting would be even less of a problem...

there is no way an RSX is a faster car than a 333hp M3....impossible...

i dont care about weight issues.....

unless they spend $20000 on engine mods on the RSX.....i'll never believe it until i see it

If you read the rest of the thread you'd realize that this is no stock RSX. It's putting over 235hp to the ground. Considering that the M3 puts down ~290hp there's only a 65hp difference, so weight certainly does come into play.
