RSX Type S vs TII

So we were out in the T2 going to walmart. We're on a fairly open long, four lane road and this guy pulls up to us in an Acura. He starts down shifting and making it known he wants to go. Well the 7 was nice and warm, it was probably 40 degrees outside and so we decided we'd go.

He got a head start because we gave it to him. We pulled on him and kept going til we had a 4-5 car length lead and let off (We were doing like 110 in a 55). Guy followed us to the next light but we were turning.

It was sweet.

1987 T2, 79k miles, ghetto TIDwith cone filter, rotary performance exhaust, FCD, running around 9 pounds of boost.

Yeah. But it'd have to be in sound mechanical condition (good compression/turbo etc.)

i don't know man...
that's an iffy one.
for sure, i know it would be a good match...but i'd like to see something like that to know for sure.


reason being...i remember what a bone stock s4 FC drives like.
lag till nearly 4000rpm
max boost of 5~6psi
the cars weigh around the same 2800lb and the fwd has less drivetrain loss...with a 6th gear that aids the honda engine to stay in it's narrow powerband easily.


all i can say is..
the car bone stock and the car on bpu(the car i'm talking about is the FC of course)..
..very different cars indeed.
like night and day
