'06 RSX type-s vs '04 TL

I think the GTI will definitely give you a run, even stock. You have to remember the TL 5AT in stock form is a 14.9-15.2 car. If you go from a dig, he should edge you out at first. You may catch him. If you do I wouldn't think until at least the top of 2nd or bottom of 3rd gear. Even then they are still in their powerband and have shorter gears. He may actually get you.
If he has even the slightest I/E mods, he should stay ahead of you and pull. Those DSG transmissions are no joke; some of the best.
Let us know the results! And good luck!

So here's what may happen next week. I invited the RSX back out again and I'm waiting on a response from him.
- 2002 mustang GT Auto: modded. I'll list what he has when I find out.
- 2008 VW GTI DSG: stock. according to the owner.
- RSX type-s: I/E. MAYBE.
I think I'll probably lose to both the Mustang and the GTI. From both a dig and a roll. .

Wait, the Type S you had I/E??? He needs a driver mod. I thought he was stock when you ran him and that's why you barely edged him out [though with the right driver it should've went the other way (no homo)].

Anyways, I'm trying to think of other little things I can take out of my car... Inaccurate, if you see this, God damn you...
lol
*EDIT: So, you're basically saying I could walk away from a stock Type-S?

Sounds like it will be fun. The mustang should get you. I beat a stock 2002 Mustang GT auto but it doesn't take many mods for them to scream. The GTI can be a mid 14 second car with traps in the mid 90's stock. From a roll you should have a great battle. IMO I think he will beat you from a dig. With the current driver in the RSX it seems like you should have the advantage. I have seen mid 14's with traps in the 97+ range with a 05+RSX-S with I/E with a good driver. Good luck!!

Im still cracking the hell up that "taking out the floor mats" made your car feel different and that its a "weight reduction mod."
Good luck on the racing and be careful out there.
