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.

 

nice kills for sure man!!! and yeah launching is more a artform in these LS4's , takes lots of practice

 

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..

 

dude has a bolt on exhaust and CAI. he has his car lowered with some nice wheels. i think he might have headers and cams. it sounds hella serious. mine is just stock pretty much

 

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.

 

yea i just have to work on my launch. any tips guys?

 

Practice practice practice man... everyones got their own way of doing it. But have there tips, oh and a good set of tires... nice kills...

 

you should be able to kill the rsx no matter what it has, unless he has a supercharger or turbo

 

i dont think he has a supercharger or a turbo kit but we will see sometime this weekend. im just trying to show that my baby can put in some work. what really made my day was when i blew the doors off that orange challenger

 

agreed. theyre 200hp rating is at like 7000 rpm. it makes no torque and has a tiny powerband. its just light. in a street race you should destroy him.

 

People who drive those cars talk ALOT of **** but none of the like 50 will race me at the meets. hmmm wonder why. They have seen me walk s2000's and crazy modded 5.0 mustangs not to mention hang with the cobalt ss(s) in my club and heavily modded gtp's

 

mongoose u got alot of **** going on with that grand prix brother...i wouldnt race u either if i were them

 

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

 

We have a few new people here welcome guys if I haven't said it before.
SSCoop Nice kills !! keep up the good work

 

thanks mel. i still have some work to do to catch up to u guys in the mod department though. and yes its a s type but i dont think i should have a problem with that. now how about a 350z?

 

I have a friend here in town that has a 350z, we race and beat me a few times, my mods were, what I have in my signature but I had the resonator on back then, his mods were just cai.when I was on vacation last year I killed a 350z, he took off first but my top end kicked in.

 

sweet. a friend of mine's father has a 350z and he thinks he's the **** when he drives it so my friend is going to go up against me at some point in time with it.

 

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.

 

I beat a R/T at the track made me feel great. had tons of people there to watch a challenger get beat by a 4 door pontiac
