you seriously need to get your car looked at man... i just raced that RSX with the K20/K24 and bolt ons on his new tune and i put a car and a half to 2 cars on him from 40 till 110 ish. i know your car has to be faster than that. im not trying to be a dick but my car has only gone a best of 13.6 @ 103.3. your car stock should do that stock. unless this was a different car.... the one i raced was white with a stock wing on the back and an asian kid driving.

edit: just saw you said that was untuned. that might explain that

no, they wont run 12s with bolt ons and would be very difficult to get on into mid 13s with just bolt ons. i had an rsx at one time

what color was the rsx?

I was about to chase you down but i figured id let the rsx run you first, and when i lined up next to the both of you, I never got a chance to go with your SS. The rsx u ran has 330ish WHP supercharged.

It was sort of depressing at the beginning, but once a guy with a FIERO chimed in, I prolly would of set my car on fire while I sat in it listening to Kenny G.

There are allways somone faster or will keep up with you better than others, i had a black civic rin olmost dead even with me in 1st gear last week, second i pulled a car and a half, but i never got to hit 3rd on him, but 3rd gear is my *** whooping gear for some reason, must be the 2.73 gear. A CRX i ran weighed 1900lbs with a cage held his own one time against me, but when i tell them i have 2500$ in my whole car it bothers them a bit. Wait till i get the 3.73 in


Some are fast.....1 in 100. If that

Never been to the track only had the car boosted about 3 months now. I hope to go this weekend to Ennis and I believe the rsx weighs right at 3000 pounds.
