Got walked by an RSX
When I say I was looking for the bottle I ment I was looking for lines wires that were not suppose to be there, but if you know your car you can hide it anywhere. I highly dought it was a nasty RSX because like I was trying to say before I out 60ft him and was some what pulling on him and then bam instent 4 car's. if it wasn't a Nitros car he would have not put that many cars on me that fast. That is why I figure he was on the spray

how could a slower car beat a faster car if the drivers were identical/equal? it coudnt!

you cant put it past the type-s, as much as you would like to.

yes, stock for stock a ss/sc will beat them all the time. our cars are just faster period. same with a civic si. our cars are just faster period. last night i ran a 14.9 with an insane (and accidental) burnout in first off the line and still out ran the si than ran a 15.7. I didn't get to see what an rsx ran, but an srt with a 50trim turbo ran a 14.4.
I also know how to launch my car so line me up with an rsx and I will almost put money that I will always outperform them...unless the road ahead of me is bumpy and I lose traction.

if it was turbo or blown it would have rocked the **** outta his car by more than that. it probably had full bolt ons, possibly cams. those things respond to mods very well.

well i dono your altitude, but a 14.9 is very easy in an rsx-s with a few bolt ons and it is attainable stock. im assuming you are at a fairly high altitude because a 50 trim srt should be running low 13's at the slowest and a new si should be running low 15's/high 14's if it was new, but you didnt say.

What are we talking here, a car with around 170/175hp to the wheels and around 110/115lbs of tq. to the wheels. So with what the SS/SC is putting down compared to the Type S, it just doesn't add up that stock for stock with decent drivers in each car that the Type S would come out in front. And if I'm not mistaking, the SS/SC weighs hundred pounds more then the Type S or a tad bit more but not enough to make a big diffrence in the out come of a race. So I just don't see the S being victorious over the SS/SC stock for stock.
gearing plays a roll....what kinda gearing does the ss/sc have? i know the rsx-s has like 4.05's or something like that. the ss/sc should definately take the rsx-s with equal drivers tho, you are right, the ss/sc is the faster car.

I'm willing to bet it was cammed, probably running the IPS K2's which seemed to be popular among the RSX crowd. Stock idle and everything, you'd never know it. Did you catch what year it was? 02-04 or 05-06? Cause the 05-06 has a few more goodies, better gearing, better cams ect.
Theres a few guys running bolt-ons (i/h/e) and cam's tuned with Hondata KPRO turning 13.3's @107mph.
Thats what I want next, CAMS and KPRO.

cams are not a bolt on, and im assuming they have dr's and probably weight reduction? not trying to flame just curious.

And yes he was on DR's, not too sure about weight reduction since he didn't say so in the thread.

Here are a couple of my slips when I had the same mods, I/H/E on Nitto NT555 (this is at LACR too)
9.0@78MPH

wow...what year gt was running a 15.1? im assuming an sn95?

that is horrible. it is just surprising how bad the track must have been. a 2004 can run 14's flat. i am not trying to accuse you of lying or anything im just saying that is very slow.
