How is it that my stock 81 can beat a new RSX in a race I have beaten two now. Theyve got like 60 more HP than I do and never think that im gonna keep up. Everybody i race just shakes their head and then i either smoke them or am right beside them. Keep in mind i don't race people i know im gonna lose to. Just Civics and CRX's and stuff like that, cuz they think that their $300 exhaust system actualy does something for them.

 

i know what MY 300$ exaust will do for me.... make my car quieter!

 

driving skill, lets face it some people just suck *** at driving.

its a FWD car. a fwd car with decent HP makes it hard to launch. they dump the clutch and spin out for a wile, then they dont know when to shift. either shift to early or to late. and lose time that way.

example: 2 of my friends raced a 91 civic Hatch and a 95 civic hatch. with just basic intake and exhaust. the 91 beat the 95 by 2 cars in each of the 3 races. the 95 swaped drivers to a more experianced driver. and beat the 91 by 3 cars then by like 4 1/2 cars.

just my $0.02

 

Was it a type S? If it was when it hits third it should be able to rape you. I was almost even with one that I raced until he hit third and then just took off.

 

Maybe they're autos? I know a guy that has an auto RSX, and it seems slow as poop...

 

I BET THAT "S" STICKER STANDS FOR nawSSSSSSSSS

 

nawZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

 

I've raced one of those RSX's in a quarter mile with a stock port and he won by .2 of a second, that wasn't my best run though

 

It was not a Type-s. And i have never lost to one.

 

I have a friend with a Type S and all he has is intake and exhaust. He G-teched it today and it said 14.2 in the 1/4. He is going to take it to the track tomorrow to see how accurate the G-Tech is. Before he had the intake he ran 14.4 at the track. Those cars are pretty quick. LAter

 

Ive raced two non type "S" and beat both of them by quite a bit. I raced one type S, and as someone before said, I paced it till about 3rd and he just pulled on me and was gone.

Ya, forsure not type-s's as you stated. Maybe auto base models.

Those type-s's are quick, from a roll I didn't pull too bad on one with intake and "maybe" a 50 shot. From a stop by the end of 2nd I had him by about 3 cars or so.

 

I eat all Honda/Acura's for dinner. I have never lost to any of them. Seriously.

 

according to the engine shot in your sig............i would hope not

 

Ditto .

the second ford has a real motor, 3.4L Yamaha built V8....

plus hondas **** on most other cars, RSX is a classier car and an overall better car, so b4 u rx owners pop a bonner remeber that ur motor will PROABLY blow soon, ur unrelaible, MPG sucks ***, and to top it off.. ur interiors r garbage sorry guys

 

And who are you to say anything? if the motors are trash, then why are the still in production with the RX-8. Mazda is with ford right? shouldnt ford know better than to produce an engine that responds so well to boost? I can guarantee that i can find a "unreliable and slow" 1.3L that can dominate anything that can be done to that taurus.

 

I am closing this dead thread and have addressed the issue at hand.
