All my friends have Honda/Acura cars and all I do around them is take crap about the torqueless wonders we know today as a Honda.
Last night we where just riding around when we decide to see which was faster , either the drop top eclipse or the Acura. Of corse the other friends of mine figured the Rsx was gonna beat me, well I had to prove them wrong.

We go out to a FAR out in the country road count out 32 lines and line up.

I lopped the rpms around 3500, then the hands drop. I feather out the clutch while patting the gas to keep traction. I go 3/4 trottle fulley let out on the cluch and brake traction for a slit second. Then I shift at 6500-6700 from first and slam into second lossing traction again for a split second. His front bumper is at my rear about a foot back. :banana: I slam into third at 6300 and he is creaping forward. As we cross the line my front bumper is at his drivers door.

That car has one HELL of a 3rd gear. We go back and talk about it and he was stoked due to how close it was. That was probly the closest race I have had in a while. Not to bad for a heavy Eclipse I think.


My mods
15 PSI on T-25 :puke:
Greddy Type S bov ( knockoff)
Hard IC Piping
and Crome Intake with cone filter

RSX Type-S 6speed
Full Cold air Ice Box
Apexi Cat back
 
On the 14b at 18 psi I pulled a rsx type s with cams, exhaust, intake headers and who knows what else by about 5 car lengths on the freeway up until the end of 4th gear. They are pretty stout cars. Why did the OP get banned? Oh, I know, He lost to a honda;)
 
Sorry but I call BS on all these stories unless the RSX driver could not drive or you raced a base RSX or your car is more modded than you have mentioned. Type S are not fast but they will beat most stock to lightly modded 4g63t.
