the other day coming home from school in the evening...like 8ish...i was crusing like normal..like any other car.....i notice this rsx type s...now i know there is no way in hell i cant beat that...even with all the mods i have on my car...so ok i follow it....it was a 2006 rsx with a muffler tip....(how sad) and drop with stock springs (cause on the high way he was sure bouncing off the walls haha) i flash him....on three honks...we went off i went into 3rd gear...got on the right lane and passed him about a half car's lenght...then he passed me....its ok though i was on his butt the entire time...now we're both going thru traffic....i fianlly decided to take the far left lane..since the other two had cars that blocked the way...so i passed him....then he decides not to play nice and cuts of the car and takes the left SHOULDER lane...and passes me up...and then he blinks.....and rolls his windows down and flicks me off....him....
i respected RSX's...but man...


but i love my car..im glad that i could have kept up the rsx--the whole way...

im foolish..plz dont hit me....

 

Doesn't the tC top out at 127 mph unless you have emanage or something along those lines?

 

well isnt that stock?

 

u said u went 135MPH , which is impossible

 

You can add all the mods you want, but if you don't somehow disable the speed limiter on the car, you aren't going over 127 mph without coasting downhill gaining speed.

 

you were street racing? Next time, please drive your car into a wall at your stated 135 mph

that was harsh, but really... come on

 

So there was other traffic on the road? Way to endanger innocent motorists, you morons.

 

 

Good job against the RSX. However... like everyone else said.. next time try not to race when theres other people around.. I NEVER race my car.. but if I did.. I would have let off at the first sign of other drivers on the road...

It feels good to win, but it doesnt feel that good when you're dead along with others.

 

No, no matter what mods you have, it will still stop at 127 or 128 mph. Unless you use some sort of emanage capable of disabling the speed limiter, which I do remember seeing one out there.

Either way, glad no one was hurt. That rsx was pretty foolish to take the sideskirt just to prove a point.

 

agreed..maybe i should take it for a drive again...lets test the top speed..anyone ever tried?

 

maybe i was shocked at how fast i going...maybe lookin at the gauge wrong....dumb me...=p

 

more like road racing per se?

 

i respect other drivers as well...
i know better next time...

then again its always tempting...

sometimes you just gotta resist those urges....

 

Loser! endangering the motorist around you and yourself. way to go jerk

 

appreciate the nice commets keep them coming...

 

Just be careful, or you might end up at www.wreckedscions.com....

 

or even better, sharing a cell with your new best friend "bubba"

 

i'll should leave my tC in the garage for awhile....and drive my ol' school datsun...hehe

 

2006 Acura RSX Type-S:

201 HP @ 7800 RPM
140 ft-lbs @ 7000 RPM
Power to Weight: 14.1


2007 Scion tC (Stock):

161 HP @ 6500 RPM
162 ft-lbs @ 4000 RPM
Power to Weight: 18.1


Look at the numbers...the RSX would mop the floor with you! The only advantage the tC has over it is the extra 22 ft-lbs of torque, and at a much lower RPM. That means it takes the RSX longer to wind up, but look at the RPMs too. The RSX goes 1500 RPMs higher than the tC. So you would get the drop on him, but in the end, the RSX would scream by you. Not to mention the top speed of the RSX is 142 while the tC is 127. 15 MPH is significant, even at over 100 MPH. Of course, the RSX Type-S is just about $9k more than the tC. Imagine what $9k can buy in performance parts.

Everyone's allowed moments of stupidty and pure joy. Just be careful, and know when to bow out. I'm not sure what speed you were already travelling, but 135 MPH (fictious or not) is still way too high for just about any street in America. And the cops won't be understanding about it.
