Default Grand Prix Vs. RSX

On my way back to work from lunch I had a brief run with a turbo Acura RSX. We didn't get a real clean run in, but it was clear that it didn't have what it takes. We got two rolls in from about 70 to about 110, with me pulling away both times. As far as his mods, all I know are a really loud turbo and exhaust. Kinda surprised me as I thought turbo cars were supposed to be murder at those speeds.

I like those ls4 cars. Maybe the rsx had a turbo base model engine, the 160hp k20a3 motor, instead of the 200hp k20z1.

You beat a very poorly setup car or it wasnt turboed. I cant see even a basic build be much less then 300whp which is enough for mid 12's and low 11x

I wasn't aware turbo RSX's aren't capable of breaking out of the 14's

HP doesn't mean much on the street. It's the shape of that torque curve that pulls you away from the small displacement motors.
