Question about a kill... My car specs are in my sig. I was cruising at 65 mph in the #1 lane on an early Saturday morning with almost no traffic on a 3 lane highway. In the #2 lane is a black Integra with unknown mods, but the car is loud. I turn down the stereo and crack the passenger side window a bit, just in case something is brewing. As I slowly cruise by, I see and hear him stab the throttle a few times, so I downshift from 6th to 3rd and he takes off. Well, I'm pleasantly surprised to find that he's giving me a good fight through my 3rd gear, but when I shift to 4th, I'm easily pulling away and it's clear that he gives up. Before I could slow down and let him cruise up, he gets off the highway.
So my question is, based on what you know about Integra's, what do you think was done to this car to put up a battle for a few seconds?

Of course they're beatable... I've been beaten in my car several times at the 1/8th mile track because the driver sucks. This was the first import that I've run into since I went to boost that was able to put up a decent fight. The closest so far has been a supercharged GTO, where we ran neck and neck from about 20 mph up to 120 or so.
What's an LS6?

Thanks; yeah, I was a bit suprised that he was there for as long as he did, since nearly every other import that I've run across in my part of the world has been lots of noise but not much in the go department. Car details are: stock long block, long tube headers, and an A&A supercharger kit, which consists of a Vortech S-Trim in the SQ (superquiet) version. I also have an in-tank Walbro and a KB BAP.
Oh, I did all the work myself, with my brother helping me with the header install, so I'm intimately familiar with it.

But seriously,it would take some good power to keep up with a 540 rwhp vette from a 60 roll.

I've never paid attention to the details of those cars, but they must be pretty light to get that kind of performance out of less than 500 horses. I just thought it was kind of weird that he pretty much hung with me in 3rd and then fairly rapidly dropped off... which is exactly opposite of what I would think a turbo'd car would do, so I was guessing that it was a blower car. Lots of initial torque, but running out of breath up top. Just the opposite of what a centrifugal gives you.

Look here noobie, I have contributed more to this site as a Mustang owner than you will in three lifetimes owning that GMWS6LS1POS you think is fast so chill, no harm no foul.
