Do u guys run a lot. i want a rematch. This time the tire will be ready and i'll be in the right gear. He might be lighter but at higher speeds, that should even out. Damn, i still cant digest it.... Give that RSX guy a thumbs up tho, good run.

i think you shouldve stomped his *** either way, the only fast RSX's ive seen are ones that have the new turbo kit for those engines, other than that they are slow.

We meet up every Tuesday at buffalo wild wings in grapevine at about 8:30 have a few beers and some $.40 wings. Also meet up Wednesday off coit and park at CiCis in Plano. The Tuesday meet is about 10 or so people, the Wednesday one is well over 20-30 domestics/imports.Toy should show up to some meets there are some fast cars that show up.

LMAO 500 hp import? he must've spent like a million bucks to get it his hp up there. 14 psi doesn't even sound right to be running 500 hp in speaking in ricer terms. i thought they ran like 25 or 30 psi to get 500 hp? where as in muscle terms we'd run like 14 to get 600 with a ls1 motor??? I think he's most likely lying!

Just because turbo (1) makes X horsepower at 14psi doesn't mean turbo (2) will also make X horsepower at 14psi. Different sized turbos flow different amounts of air. There is a white RSX in DFW that makes just under 500whp at like 16~17psi. The owner is just using a very large turbo to achieve those #'s. So it's entirely possible.
