got worked by rsx-s
i've always thought we should beat rsx-s (stock of course)..i drive an 03 cl-s with aem cai...i had the chance to line up against a debadged rsx-s (well at this point i'm asssuming it was a type s)..anyway we had equal launches...but starting at the top of first he just kept steadily walking away..by the top of third he was a good 2 cars ahead of me. i asked him what he had and he claimed he was stock..which i believe is bullshit considering the sound of his engine was drowning mine out..and my engine isn't exactly quiet with the cai. he was also spinning through the beginning of second pretty badly..leading me to believe hes putting a good amount of power to the ground..anybody have any guesses as to what he might have had? i did have a passenger and a huge ass sub in the trunk if that makes any difference.

Nah... a stock RSX-S will even chrip 3rd. Possible he spun a little in 2nd on stock tires.
Those fuckers are quick. A ton of my friends have them. I raced one last night with a Jackson Racing S/C'er (7psi) and pulled really hard on it in 3rd and 4th. However i've lost to one at 9psi.

13s @ over 100 MPH depending on the driver.
Although... there's a lot more "bolt-ons" available to those guys than what we have.
Hondata for one does amazing things for that motor.

i believe there are different hondata chips for the rsx...i recall hearing that all the bolt-ons + a certain hondata is good for 13's depending on driver..whereas another cheaper hondata ecu upgrade will bring the car down to a low 14. not sure though

Plus tires, plus motor mounts, plus a good driver, etc. This is definitely the exception not the rule.

Yes there's a few different types of products Hondata offers. K-Pro being the top of the line product.

I hate to magazine race, but according to the magazines a stock CL-S and a stock RSX-S both run ~14.8s in the 1/4 mile ... Unless your CL-S is a 6spd of course.
2002 RSX Type S (source: Car and Driver, August 2001)
0-60: 6.1 seconds
1/4 mile: 14.8 seconds @ 95mph
2001 CL Type S (source: Motortrend, July 2000)
0-60: 6.4 seconds
1/4 mile: 14.8 seconds @ 96mph
2003 CL Type S (source: Road and Track, July 2002)
0-60: 6.5 seconds
1/4 mile: 14.9 seconds @ 96mph
--- So, stock for stock, the RSX-S has just as much of a chance to beat you as you do ... imho its a driver's race, with the advantage to the CL-S since its easier to get good times with the extra torque.
