Impressive RSX at US41....

Guy had a black one, with bronze wheels.

He said he had header, catback, fuel rail, regular falken tires...

What impressed me was not his 14.3....

But his 103-106mph trap speeds... That's some mph.

This is not uncommon. When I had my RSX with I/H/E hondata I was trapping between 100-107. Those cars can pull better than people think if you keep the tires from spinning.

Trapping usaully means when the quarter mile is done you get two #'s (1) How long it took you to get to the quarter mile ex. 14.3 seconds and (2) How fast you were going ex. 103 mph. <--- The speed you are going when you get to the quarter mile time is called the "trap speed". So the RSX was "trapping" 103-104 mph means that when he did the quarter mile time of 14.3 he was doing aound 103-104mph. I hope I am right about this, if not I apologize as I am not an expert about this and maybe somebody else can clarify this for me.
