Official Race This saturday, i had my first official race. I raced a Hyndai Elantra (not stock), a Lincoln Towncar (Mustang Motor 4.6), and a '09 Dodge Challenger r/t. I definitely need to work on my launch off the line, but I must say i am pleased with my Impala with it being my first official runs against these cars and i came out victorious against each of them 2 times each. Even though i had an advantage over the challenger and towncar in weight, they put up good runs. A friend of mine has a Acura RSX and i dont know anything about these cars but do u think it will give me a huge fit? I only have a K&N Cold Air Intake. Give me some feed back guys.

niceeee, ive always wanted to put a challenger r/t in its place.. like "the ****, i got beat by a 4 door corolla??" lmao
as for the rsx, if its the rsx-s it will give u a run for ur money, they are lightttttt as helll the other rsx's i have no idea, but they are pretty quick off the line for a n/a 4 banger..

You shouldn't have any issues with the rsx it's 180 if it's just a rsx if it type s it has 200 stock. Now it it's tunede to then it might be close up top. Off the line you should eat him.

If the RSX is a Type S with it can be quick.
I got pulled on by a friends 05 RSX-S that had I/H/E/Hondata. He was about 220whp and got me by a car and a half up top. This is when I was trapping 99-100 and running 14.0s

i used to beat a local 350Z by a car length when i was stock, if you get a good launch they shouldn't be able to run you down.
I have to agree on a lot of RSX people talking ****, i rolled up beside one at a light. I could see them eyeing my car, then i hear the driver say "oh thats how they come stock, their nothing". Since i'm not stock i kinda laughed and thought to myself the sleeper look is still working. I revved up, he gave me the dumb racer look like hes going to beat me. I pulled probably 8 cars within 1/8mile. Friend i know told me he has I/C/H/E/tune.
