I needed some peace and quiet tonight, decided to keep the top up. I noticed this RSX Type S with some younger kids in it behind me for a few minutes (on a one lane road) until we turned onto a main road with more than one lane. We get to the first stop light, he pulls up next to me, with me minding my own business, I'm hearing him rev his engine quite high. Still minding my own business, he's holding a constant rev at like 3 grand. The light changes, and BAM, he jerks off the clutch (he must not know what he's doing), his car hops and hesitates, and we take off....So I'm on the gas (releasing the clutch at 1500 rpm's or so), shift at about 3500, into second, shift at 3500 again, into 3rd, then 4th...By that time, he's WAAAAY ahead of me and still going strong....Guess he didn't get the hint...

So who here is going to figure out which RSX message board he's on where he's telling everyone about his S2k kill story tonight?

OK, story's over. Carry on..

 

And thats why the S2000 is so much cheaper than the RSX for insurance

 

it is? wtf.. i thought the s2k is just as expensive if not more.

 

Congrats on the death!

 

just go to clubrsx and look for key words "homes, stoplight, s2000, ate, 10 car length"

 

^

I wonder who's gonna actually do it?

 

It was me

But if you're wondering, nope, nothing on the ClubRSX board.

 

u kno what u should have done? drive passed him and yawwn, giving that bored look.haha

 

 

I pump S2K's all the time. Just the other day I smoked one by about 40 car lengths.

 

i noticed around here, some people like to try to race you and some just cruise which is alright sometimes. but in NY, every single kid wants to race off every light

 

yeah, pretty obvious conclusion. S2000s have no torques. RSX Type-S are the shizzle man because they have "i-VTEC" which is way better than regular "VTEC".

On a serious note, when I get some ricer pull up next to me in a stoplight while I'm in the S2000, and rev the piss out of their Integra/Civic/Neon, I give 'em a nice rev as if I'm interesed, and just chuckle as I see the retards pull a half-assed FWD burnout in an attempt to show me that their penis is bigger than mine.

Ricers....gotta love 'em.

 

What is it about ricer kids anyways? I guess they just gotta get it out of their system or die in the process like all of those street racers we hear about...

 

haha i remember when i used to do that shit when i was 16 and 17 in my little integra
man i thought i was cool pickin on people with nicer cars

but one of my friends killed himself in his m3 and now no more stupid shit for me

i do often get tempted when high school kids come after me in their civics, eclipses, f150s, etc.. but i always hold off

nothing to prove, ya know

 

He smoked you!!

You know he's gonna be bragging about it...

 

s2k's are the gay

 

This kind of stuff happens to me on a daily basis. They usually rev, and leave before the light even turns green

 

This is exactly why we don't have an RSX section, and why the RSX has done more harm to Acura then good.

 

3rd gear VTEC baby!!!!!!!

 

Is your s2k supercharged? This one comes close

I used to read RSX forum. They have so many funny shits to laugh.

 

Why on earth are you shifting at 3500rpm in an S2k? (other then the obvious that your not into racing). That car is designed to be shifted between 4-6k...

 

Says who?

 

When it's late at night, you had a rough long day at work, and are pretty tired, almost too tired to shift, you tend to just drive in a verrrrry relaxed manner..

 

whenever someone's taunting me to race... and I'm either NOT in the mood, or it's a car I KNOW I can't beat... I hold up my cell. phone, as if I'm texting someone... It works pretty good... They usually just drop it.

I also do the same when someone's taunting me to race and I KNOW I can beat this car by a mile... then at the next light when he catches up... I'll hold my cell. phone up... look over and give him a look, as if... "...oh, did you wanted to race?"

 

well my tsx is designed to shift at 9100. but i shift at 3500 too

 

meh, forget those kids.

 

dude i bet that guy juss said supercharged to make himself look better. how would he really kno unless they were going full out and s2k drivers dont need to race rsx-s's..Errrbody knows the results

 

^^ hahaha..

 

CLASSIC!!

 

I don't have TL-S so I don't do much racing at all. Plus TL is a luxury car not a race one. We have 4 doors for a reason, unlike rsx with 4 seats and 2 doors for looks

 

Recent post from a Ford Pinto yahoo group I moderate:

 

And you moderate a pinto forum why?

 

For exactly the reason you're asking that question

They were a pretty nifty car but because of the exploding on rear impact issue, had gotten a bad rap.

I lightweight rwd cars. Aircooled beetles, Pintos, Old rwd imports like the honda s600, datsuns, etc etc...

It doesn't take a lot of HP to get 2200lbs moving

Here's one Pinto that's in the 10's in the quarter mile for under $7K:

I owned a bunch of Pinto's 20 something years ago... You'll probably be as nostaligic about your TA's 20 years from now as I do about my old pintos...
