rsx-s with boltons can hit high 13's with decent driver.

Okay.. Stock RSX-S vs S/C tC = Drivers race.
Mods close this thread before more of this madness continues.

I love vids..If you got them share them.
I will have to disagree on the Type S > 350Z thing though.. Low 14/High 13 = 350Z in stock form. And yes they ware heavy like a tank still.

interesting. I still say I can take you in my Z..
The VDC retards the engine, not allowing it to spin as fast as it can. Therefore reducing hp. Even if you floored it, you would not be getting what you should. It's a shame you live to far away, I would love to take you on in my Z and get it on vid.

Oh, that's cool, I have my own VDC experiences (forgot to turn it off one race at the track, and lost to a friend of mines LSVTEC Teggy H/I/E). Did not realize it till half way down the track .

No, that's totally not true at all. Unless you mean....modified 05 RSX-S > 350z?
The RSX is still a sports compact, the 350z is a sports car. Different league.
Your base auto is running F/I, i'm assuming. That's pretty cool, but you should know that once a car is modified, it's a complete different ballgame.

why does a guy running 15.1s even bother talking about the type S?
a 2.4L with 160HP vs. a 2.0L with 200HP stock vs. stock (equal drivers)?
I've drove my friend's S to a 14.6 before with a short ram intake. A factory boosted tC will fare better, but by no means can "smoke" the S. By then you're comparing a boosted, bigger engine to a N/A smaller engine, is it even that satisfying to beat a type S with these specs?
Sure the tC can run quite a few cars from the honda line up, but the S? Certainly not.

most of you forget that the rsx is an all around car... the rsx will lose the tc in the corners... the suspension of the rsx is far superior to that of the tc. The rsx-s wasn't just meant to be a straight line car, it was built to attack the corners, and the corners are where the rsx will blow by the tc
