Ran into a nice black 2005 RSX-S tonight at a light. He had a passenger and so did I. I said to my buddy "this is going to be way too easy." Well that was before I remembered that the 05 RSX-S is quite more potent than previous years due to much more agressive gearing (I think a 4.90 FD?)

Anyhow, with that said, we did a 10mph roll-on and I ran for through my first three gears. We were dead even through 1st and 2nd and I was just inching ahead of him in 3rd, very very slowly though. From what I could tell, he had an exhaust - I don't know what else. I followed him a few seconds after the race and exchaged 's.

Well that is all, just wanted to share!

 

Nice race Those suckers a quick as hell dude.

 

yea, their gearing is the same as the type R's out in japan. Only difference is, no LSD I believe.

 

got headers?

 

Eh? No I don't!

 

get some, hoser

 

Sorry, got better plans for 1000+ USD than to buy headers for my car.

 

May we hear your plans?

And You can pick up headers for cheaper I believe.

 

I can pick up OBX headers for cheap $, but I don't want cheap quality. Alphawerks doesn't make any for the 6spd's and Comptech's too expensive.

I don't want this car to become a money pit, it's quick, but it's not a dragster. In truth, I'm pretty much saving up for a Z06 which I plan to buy in 1 or 2 years from now, given that my priorities don't change.

 

Why not make your 6-speed quicker than a Z06? Save the interest you are going to pay...

 

Because it will never have the V8 sound and all-motor powerband that I am looking for. And it will not have exotic supercar performance in acceleration/braking/handing at a price of only 25G's (what a 2002 Z06 will cost in 1or 2 years... right now they can be found for just under 30G's).
