'02 SS vs. Turbo RSX I don't get too many races, but I thought I'd post this one up...this was my first in about 5-6 months.
Pull up to a stop light with an RSX following close behind. There was really no one around, so he gets in the other lane. I ease off the line, not in a big hurry, but not wasting time either, and he stays right beside me. I got on it a little bit (~80-90% throttle), and he bites. Being the retard that I am, I had already short shifted into second, so I'm in a pretty bad spot (around 30 MPH or so). I stay in it, and by the end of second, I had 1.5 cars on him, and by the end of third, I added another on top of that. He kept up surprisingly well...so I hit the brakes right after shifting into 4th since I had had enough, and...oh...wait...here it comes...THE RICER FLYBY!!! This was the first time I had this pulled on me, and I was highly disappointed, but I did hear the sound of his blow off valve, which reassured me that this was no stock RSX. Guess he was kinda butt hurt...but I shoulda tossed on the hazzards on his ***.
I've been checking clubrsx.com, but I haven't seen anything come up...if you see something on there that has a slightly different twist to the story, just let me know (as in "the SS got the jump, but I pulled him top end"). Next time, I'll get it on tape
Cliffs notes: Bolt-on SS takes out turbo RSX. Turbo RSX does gay fly by.
My mods: power-wise, only a ported TB, Kooks LTs, custom over-the-axle true duals. Put down 340/356 with too much timing and running rich. I do have a little over $2k in suspension, but it only helps handling, not straight line.
His mods: turbo kit of some sort and a quiet exhaust...definite sleeper (his only saving grace).

I take off from the stop light at a moderate pace, and just kinda leave him sitting there. Jokingly, I throw on the hazzards...I **** you not, no more than 10 seconds later, the ricer boys come flying by. Guess I must have pissed them off

Anyways he will fly by people on the highway, after a big running start, and throw the hazards on. I have been driving behind him when he has done it to everything from celicas to vipers. Its always great to see their reaction. Usually its just disgust.
