By slpsscamaro at 2012-01-19 op good kill but i think he had one of these for a turbo lol

Did he know you were racing him. A c6 zo6 would run a train on any stock -mildly modded GTO. The leg would be your car and the little green guy the zo6

So a 200 something HP car is an 11 sec car, huh? A stock RSX is a mid 15 sec car...so adding a turbo will knock 4 seconds off, huh? Yeah...

I agree that I should've gotten it on vid....

It was a turbo car & I beat it. I didn't look under the guys hood so...Maybe, MAYBE it wasn't...but I doubt it.

No point in arguing this though...as stated, I should have gotten it on video. Really didn't think it would be hard to believe.

A stock as a rock RSX Type S is a mid 14 second car if you drive it like you hate it, ie 6000-7000rpm clutch dump and powershifting like a boss. A turbocharged one is not something to be sneezed at IMO, as it should run mid 12's to an 11 second et if its set up right.

There's no reason for a video rule. Hell, when videos are posted it usually sparks more questions, debate, and drama than when people just tell the story.

I say good kill and I completely believe it!!!!! fwd is just the wrong way to go..hell maybe he was even spinning (doubtful)....probably just an rsx with an ebay turbo kit pushing 4psi without a tune.... and on a video rule....it's not like he went out for a setup race he was on lunch break LOL. Guess we all need to carry cameras in our car at all times

gixper

Well my car is FWD too....but my car makes 325tq (stock flywheel & I have a couple of mods) I doubt he was making near that. I doubt he made 275 hp.

I absolutely murdered a LT1 TA (& he atleast had exhaust) Sunday from 40-100. Don't know why killing an RSX is so hard to believe?? Maybe I don't know enough about Hondas/Acuras, but from what I'm reading...I'm not impressed. Scion, Hondas, Acuras, etc... without some SERIOUS mods, seem to be very unimpressive.

I know, I was being sarcastic. I know what they are capable of
I doubt you killed a well driven and maintained full exhaust LT1 TA. I'll just put it that way - I raced quite a few modded GP GXP's back in the days when I owned my TA and lets just say it wasn't pretty for them.

It is just hard to believe you beat a well setup turbo RSX with myself knowing what they are capable of

Anything can happen on the streets though. You must be the select breed of LS4 owners that don't act like their 14 second car is hard to launch from a dig.

gixper

I don't know how well maintained it was...but I can tell you that I have never lost to an LT1. I know you used to own one...but that doesn't mean that LT1>LS4. Stock v. Stock, LS4 wins.

In regards to the RSX...I have no idea how "well" it was set up. What I do know is (wait for it).....he lost.

Now don't misconstrue what I'm saying; I'm not saying LS4s are easy to launch/drive (I say drive because of TQ steer) & I don't believe that my car is "Fast"... but "stockish" v. "stockish" an LS4 car is faster than an LT1, 2v Stang GT, and (unless I've just not raced the right driver) a 3v Stang GT.

I've failed to experience these same comments in real life. When compare fastest times, LT1 and LS4 are close, but most LS4 guys struggle to make the low 13's with bolt-ons that is easily obtainable for LT1 f-bodies. Now this is all comparing apples to oranges, as they are set up completely different.

I wouldn't mind a GP GXP as a DD tho. Would definitely be a lot better than my old 03 Eclipse I replaced with the truck

Wow did you read my post? I said mid 12's and 11x MPH, TRAP SPEED, at 300whp not stock. Which would cook you from a roll

hmmm man I want these.... Who needs sts when you got these bad guns

gixper

Oh my bad, that was in reply to your first post...didn't see the other, but I see you have a dog in this fight. It's cool man...not saying that I can beat all turbo RSXs or anything....but I did beat that one. He lives somewhere in my vicinity, so I'm sure I'll run into him again. I'll see if I can set something up on vid. And then we'll see if he did indeed have a turbo or that other thing.

Wrong. A well driven 96/97 Camaro SS would smoke a LS4 car stock for stock. I'd put my money on a stock one vs. a full bolt-on LS4. I don't even think a base LT1 Z28 would have a problem pulling one. What do the LS4 cars run stock? Mid 14's at less than 100?

gixper

Then you would lose money.

Just sayin'. Both cars make similar power, GXP is a good 100 lbs heavier; the LT1 is RWD. It's a no brainer really.
