To all the B**ches that think K20 Hondas are slow:

REpost? Perhaps... its still sweet as hell.

This is with a K in its "Home" aka, the DC-5 RSX, and with 180LBS passenger as ballast (aka: dead weight that slows ur *** down) And there's also the fact that the corvette is a Z06.

Anyway, I love the FC, perhaps one of my favourite cars, but my roots are in the K series. The DC5R has held my passion since I first saw a comercial for the rsx back in early '02, so sorry, but...

Gotta Represent!

aplicable smilies:

EDIT: Ok, now think if this was in an EG hatch, with proper traction control and slicks... :evil:

All im saying is given the numbers its not really that impressive and plenty of other 4 cylinder cars can make that much power and use the rear/all wheels.

Eh. That kid must have mad VTEC Power!

LoL. I think I would buy a RSX-S for a DD. Good gas mileage and it rains a lot here. I wouldn't have to worry about having too much power.... haha.

Pretty good race. Z06 stock? I rode in a friend of mine's Z06 and he had a good amount of mods.... EMS, upgraded valve train, etc. He was making 650 HP / 680 TQ. I think that would be an interesting race. But I am sure that kid put a ton more money into that car to make it keep up with the Z06. Cool I guess if you like that kind of thing.

The Z06 I rode in was insane. Cruising the highway at 75 and he down shifted and floored it and we slipped the tires on the highway going 75.... 680 TQ is insane.....

Anywho. GO VTEC! Mad L33T P0\/\/3|2! LoL.....

To all of you that thought K20 Hondas were slow. You were right.

The vette still won all 3 times. Granted teh civic kept up, but how much work did the guy do to the civic, as compared to what the vette did? I give it props for being quick, but its by no means amazazing. Just go down to a local raceway, and watch for someone thats put lots of time and money into their car.

Please, dont post a "kill" video of a honda, unless the honda actually wins. Like the CRX vs the Stock regular C5 vette. (not Z06) that gets spanked because the CRX is a bottle fed beast. And even then, it goes back to the same old saying "You can make a brick go fast, all you need is power at the wheels"

Half the clowns on here that claim the K20 is slow....would most likely get whooped on by it. Yes, sports cars are/ should be rear wheel drive. Doesn't mean all FWDs' aren't worthy or something... I love this site but, it seems like every pre-pubescent turd with a E-Bay cone filter and shitty N1 muffler has something to say when you mention anything that's not a 7...I understand it's a 7 site but, have some love for other cars...even Honda/Acura products.

Hondas are GAY. That K20 prolly had atleast one power adder. Now give the vette a power adder and see what happens then......... Also roll racing is for ricers. They should have ran from a dead stop.

To each its own! Its like every guy who tunes a FWD car has something to prove. I will give the guy props for making a 400whp FWD car but that doesn't mean I have to like it or go crazy over it. Sure there are cars out there that will beat me, there is always somebody with more money or a better tune even a better driver than me. I still have a car that is rare, quick and fun to drive everywere not just on a strait line

I got the chance to see Pacmans K20 Crx race against my friend a few years ago. That car was no joke. I think he was running 11.8's N/A.

My friend had a turbo Si but i found this vid of another race. The crx put a major hurting on my friends car.

Bye bye Honda transmission.

Still like the S2000 and NSX, but an Integra/RSX common now.

Who cares if a Honda can keep up with a Corvette a the end of the day the 30k you sunk in your Honda goes to dust where as the Corvette owner suffers some depreciation.

$30k??????? If he spent $30k and only got up to 400whp he sucks ***. A friend of mine has a little over $12k in his and hes making 42Xwhp. That includes coils, upgraded tranny, rims and wheels. So take that $12k plus, what, $12k for the
car and you have spent $24k total where as the ZO6 goes for what, $25k-$35k plus hid mods to make 430whp, so who spent more?

I'll drive the Z06 over the RSX anyday but the RSX is still nice.

AWESOME. . .that means that my car is fast too. even though it's not running right now, I bet I could lose 4 or 5 consecutive races to a Z06 as well.

Take that bitches

I would drive a Lambo and wouldn't care if a Honda Fit was faster than me. Guess we have different mentalities.
