I pull up to the light and he pulls along side me, we have about 50ft straight then a right curve then a str8 to another lighgt. I underestimate his power so I stay in automatic. Light changes I give it enough to get a decent launch , pull about half car on him instantly, he launches with some tire squeel and then I realize he has the manual cause when he sifted he chirped. I decide to wot as he puts in 3rd and his nose gets even with about my front wheel. Now here comes the curve and he is not backing down so I continue, around the corner and I pull on him again, we finish the corner and a bus is blocking his lane so the race was done. Light ahead was red so it was over anyway. We get to the light and there is a state trooper sitting there. Lucky that bus was there or he would have gotten one of us.

 

Those RSX's are quick, man, if you're not ALL out, they'll suprise you, glad to hear neither of you got busted, though

 

Thanks, now that I know they can hang with us I wont play with them anymore

 

Man, it's best running with cars that are your equals since the races run so close.

 

according to the stats I saw, the run 2 tenth's slower to sixty & 2 tenths slower in the quarter, nice package for the price should be an excellent run for you or me stock ( keep in mind this professional driver ) jmo

 

What impressed me so much was that it chirped in 2nd and 3rd

 

All RSX Type S models are 6 speed manuals. No auto available. Only the base model has a 5 speed manual and 5 speed auto I believe.

 

Thats true, I didn't know it was an S till I heard the wheels chirp

 

when wheels chirp from 2nd to third.. i'd probagly guess that the wheels have been worn down quite a bit.. unless it really has a lot of power :-/ IMO

 

or he forgot to let off the gas when he hit the clutch to bang third with a little more authority..... see-ya tranny.....

 

I know he atleast had an intake

 

I was kinda dissapointed by the rsx type-s. I expected a bit more outta em from all the hype ive been hearing. Most i saw at teh track were pretty weak. But u never knwo when it comes to the driver.

 

WEAK! I can't stand RSX's.

They look tough, but they aren't NEAR the car that the Type R was. The Type S is a grave dissapointment to Acura fans worldwide.

 

i disagree with TypeSKid.. the RSX-S is what they use in Japan as the Integra Type-R... so potentially any RSX can have equal or even more mods than an older Integra can... IMO, the RSX and Integra are lil kiddy cars... 1/2 of them out there have nothin more than intake, headers, exhuast and maybe some ricey lighting...

 

one turbo at 6-7psi and ur at 270hp

10psi puts u at 300hp

most peeps on clubrsx w/ a type S and turbo have documented time slips ranging from 13.3-13.8

These cars have lots of potential
