My buddy thinks his stupid Rsx will kill me in My car. read my sig for my mods. I Do believe his car is pretty much stock. And I know that his car is not the S-type too. I keep telling him too F^%@ off, but man he's relentless. And now everyone is saying he'll kill me too. What do you guys think honestly? Would he put up a decent fight. And no I won't be racing. lol

If you have done the PI swap like your sig says then you will walk him.

Non-pi GT vs. RSX Type S (dunno if the normal ones are slower) is probaly a drivers race.

I think you'd take him, but just to be sure how many stickers did you see on his car, Japanese horsepower is related to how many stickers are on the car, + stickers = +FWHP. Bet him a tank of gas, that way you can get a fill up for free, i know i would appreciate free gas.

He's done. Even without the swap I wouldn't be too worried. I used to beat Pontiac Grand Prix GTP's in my Non-PI GT.

Its kind of sad that you posted this...dont people research other cars these days?

I mean seriously...you should murder him..

theyre 15 second cars....your car should be pretty deep into the 13s from your mod list.

I wish I had friends with azn speedmobiles that I could pick on all day long...

Instead I get challenges from an LS6 swapped Camaro...

Smoke him, but do it on the strip. And make sure everyone is there to see. Propose a group gathering and a trip to the race track one weekend. Fun stuff.

dont everyone get too carried away though with saying he will walk one easily. From a dig its a no brainer that ur going to win unless u really cant launch worth crap.

but a type S has a pretty good top end for the hp that they have. that vtec kicks pretty hard in those cars. but it takes forever to get to it lol. If he has a few mods such as hondata, new manifold and some exhaust work i wouldnt be surprised if he is right there with you from a roll. with those 3 mods on that type S he too could be a high 13 second car or a low 14 second car. they respond pretty well to mods.

just to show ya what I am talking about check out these times on an older type S
http://www.dragtimes.com/Acura-RSX-Timeslip-2760.html

this is an 02 type S with less hp stock than the newer ones.

my bad i didnt see that it said its not a type S. You should crush him then lol. like taking candy from a baby.

I'm pretty sure stock rsx's come with 180hp and the type S comes with 225, and with your mmod list you should be close to 300 flywheel hp, soo yea, enough said.

Yeah with hondata, intake and full exhaust he can be in the low 14 high 13s, its about as quick as a stock 99-04 gt. You should still beat him with the mods you have so I wouldn't worry about it.

Should be a cakewalk. I used to rape my friend in his modded IS300 with my 5.0s all the time.
