I raced my friends bone stock 06 rsx type s today and i won every single time. first we raced from dead stop on skokie blvd. and i just kept inching on him and then we got on 94 and raced from a 60 mile roll and i beat him again...i mean i didn't gain car lengths but i was ahead the whole time. This guy is an experienced driver and knows how to shift well so i don't know why i kept pulling. The rsx-s is well broken in..i think he has about 6000 miles on it. Both on half a tank of gas.

While we were on skokie a blue 350z pulled up next to us and just blasted us. later on we found out he was turbo'd pushing about 420 hp with a turbotronics turbo. The z was too sweet.

 

interesting. you stock?

 

i have a cai and a obx muffler and some +4 plugs but other than that yes

 

sounds reasonable to me.

 

really?? i really thought the rsx-s would smoke me badly

 

nice kill

 

good run


i woulda thought the RSX would have ran you out but i guess it didnt

 

thanks bro

 

that's exactly what i though but i guess i was wrong lol it made me happy.

 

the rsx is much faster than the 3.0CL, they run around 14.5 1/4 mile stock.. my cousins 02 type s is really fast, only has an intake, was the guy shifting at 8100 rpm? thats the redline on the type s, it gains so much power after 6k rpm

 

i have no idea when he shifted but i know he wasn't miss shifting or anything like that

 

i guess my 3.0 is a factory freak haha

 

good kill i don't know, i'm 1-1 vs the type-s rsx. they are technically supposed to be faster then us 3.0's(more hp less weight)

 

i really dont think he drove it right.... truely i would not say a 3.0 well get anywhere close to a decent rsx-s driver

 

oh he drove it right trust me launched and everything they just cant cut it...don't underestimate the 3.0 they have A LOT more torque

 

Nice kill regardless but your friend needs to learn how to drive..

 

yeah i guess i'm just happy i won but seriously i think i could beat and rsx-s with a good driver

 

the 6-speed will make or break you.....but a modded rsx with a good driver will smoke a modded 3.0......

 

a modded one yes but a stock one no

 

dream on..

 

maybe it was a base rsx

 

good kill, but i seriously think you should have lost.my friend has an '05 rsx type s and ive seen him beat some cars that are faster than the 3.0 so idk what happened with you. lol maybe you do have a factory freak.

 

I raced a 6 speed RSXS (04/05?) when I had the 5AT TL (w/custom cai setup). This guy was stock, possible CAI. I thought haha big bro vs lil' bro this should be fun but v6>i4 I will win...it was suprisingly close! 0-60 was nearly identical for us, and I only started to creep ahead after the shift to 3rd, when we deciced 90mph or so was stop time. Quarter mile would have been too close to call. Now, about this 3.0 vs RSXS killing, I can't say it's impossible but definitely questionable.

EDIT: TL stock is 270/hp/240tq, 3.0 CL is 200/200, so my car should have pulled even harder than yours on the RSXS

 

Possible.

I hate magazine racers. You should have, he should have, he will, I will......blah blah blah. There are times when you come across a win you cant believe. So be it, congrats man!

I've ran my friend's RSX-S, and lost pretty much everytime. But then I came across others whom I won against. Was it the car, no, was it the driver, yes (with the assumption that the car was in good running condition). But hey, not everyone out there knows how to drive. Take advantage of that...The only error I can assume the driver did was taking his time shifting, and launching it below 5k.

Dont see why people should bash on you. It wasn't your error.

 

No your story was not an error, but I don't think your result was a normal one. Definitely a confidence booster though. Cocoa does have a point, every race and every strip run is different. On that note, race several rsx-s to better gauge results!

 

It was back when I had my 3.0 stripped and with full bolt ons, tuned. On the juice, it was a different story

Cant wait to see what the J35 does...

 

When I had my 02 S2000 I raced a friends CL-S with intake and exhaust. He decided to gut out his trunk (spare tire, his crap etc). So when raced from a dead stop and light to light we were door to door (my S2000 was stock at the time). We hit the freeway and raced from a 65mph roll and door to door UP until 100mph. I pulled away slowly but strong pull. at 130mph I was a good 2 car lengths away from him. These cars can be fast.

 

i need to either start respecting my cl or send that thing to the dealership asap for a checkup cuz i got fucked by a 94 accord 4 door v6 and that brought me down. i dont race much but i hated the cl that day.. i honestly would never see myself hanging with an rsx stick let alone and rsx s stick.. were you in d4 or d3 and nice kill

 

makes sense to me.. my CL wasted a type-s no problem..

all the complainers must have horrible trannies.. haha

 

umm...i don't think so.

 

yeah i guess he can't drive i ran him again and same results....i guess i'll try to find another rsx-s and see how badly i get beat. Shit i guess i do have a factory freak though . And to all you haters.

 

RSXs are pretty fast. I have 2nd gen CL and I played with an RSX from red light to red light. from 0-60 I only pulled like a car or a car and half until about 60 something mph. He had an intake and I had I/H at the time. If had some headers I'm sure he could have kept up all the way or beaten me.

 

rsx=160hp
rsx type-s=200hp on a i4 and is so much lighter

 

i know the numbers on the rsx but again those are just numbers....everyone is right it depends on the driver just a little bit

 

well he said the guy is an experienced driver and knows how to shift well, i still say it was a base rsx

 

bro he would be me do you not know how to read...it was not a base rsx do you now understand english?
