Wait a second, people still race naturally aspirated, four-cylinder, front wheel drive cars? I'm not sure which is more stupid: street racing...or street racing in a freaking slow car.

Slow is still slow no matter what you call it. Personally, I call it slow.

one of our club members raced me with his 5 speed, he beat me 3 times and i beat him 2 times. i seemed to only be able to win when i could drop my rpms low realy fast. but when my rpms where high i was about a car lenth behind him, and vice versa, when i got my rpms down enough to where i could accelerate fast enough he would be a car length behind,

so it varys on the driver, timing and if you know how to handle your car, might i add his 5 speed is an all stock 07

For the class, yes, it's a quick car. It's fun to drive. That's one of the many reasons I spent $18 grand on it. But it's because they yanked the engine out of a midsize car and put it in a small one. It's like the old muscle cars. Take a big engine, stuff it in a small car, and take it out. Only on a smaller scale.

In the grand scheme of things, however, I have driven much, much faster cars. As a daily driver, I guess the tC could be considered quick. But the second you think about racing it, you realize the car just wasn't meant for it.

i'm hoping you dropped the phone on your lap or on the seat. if you dropped it on the floor and manage to pick it up while going 125 mph... i'd give you even more credit than i did. lol.

i wish i could go 125 or 127mph. here in oregon, i don't know about other states, but that's an automatic wreckless driving (no way to get out of it) and you'll probably end up on the news like this teenager who went 140-150mph in his little civic hatchback. probably heavily modded.

A base RSX will not beat a tC, stock vs stock, or modded vs. modded.. The tC should win by at least a car length if not more. I've raced 3 of them now, most of them mainly stock, but it wasn't even close.

A RSX type-s will beat a tC but not until 3rd gear..
