Turbo E30 has a HX35 w/ supporting mods....ID 1000's, custom sheet metal intake, FMIC, 3 inch exhaust....running the low boost setting, I already knew I had no shot haha. If I had to guess he is still around 330-350whp @ 12psi

 

Auto C5? If that was a C6 6-speed Vert', that E30 would have been toast

 

That sounds like a fun time. When are you available?

 

Man, WISH I was back in the tri-state. Car is down in Houston, Tx right now. I *might* make a road trip back home to visit my family/friends. Usually I fly back, but been wanting to take the Vette back "home." If I do, I'll definitely PM for some runs.

Good runs man and good luck with your ride.

 

6spd w/ exhaust

 

Holy bouncing suspension on the Vette. I don't know why so many domestic drivers tend to neglect suspension upgrades. Nice runs though; big difference between you and the Vette from the first to the second run. You did really well. IIRC, the ragtop was only a couple lbs heavier than the hardtop and trapped around 105-106 mph. At higher speeds though, the .3 difference in drag coefficient hurt the ragtop considerably.

 

You know, I didn't realize how much top up vs. top down mattered until I ran both ways at the track. My best trap speed that night was 118 top up and ~114 top down; 4 mph is certainly a big difference. I even had a better 60' and launch with the top down (loved the better visibility with the top down). Certainly gets a lot more attention too, even at the track...

Regardless, strong running RSX-S you have to hold off a C5, even with the top down. I used to have an RSX-S and it was a great car. Loved the VBP color too. It was a good entry sports car to prepare me for a C6 Corvette.

 

^nice kill and death!!! def some good runs that E30 is boss though.......Got a video of an RSX-S for u...member on here New England Dragway Boosted RSX-S vs. Audi R8 (V10 motor)
