Hey guys, figured I'd post on here finally.
So I'm on the way to work the other day, and I come along side a new Acura RSX Type S.
Now I normally never street race, but I've always wanted to run side by side with the Type S. We were lined up side by side at the last set of lights before a 100 km/h stretch of road, and it was just after 7am with nobody else around.
Anyways, I see him checking out the car as I pull up, and I give him the benefit of doubt that he won't go. I try never to start street races.
He doesn't rev up or anything, but when the light goes green, he punches it and gets the jump on me. Now it's obvious he wants to go.
I'm already rolling, but now I put it to the floor.
First gear, and I'm back beside him. Torque.....what a wonderful thing!
Hit second, put down some rubber, and pull ahead, but he stays on my rear bumper.
Third pulls a little more, but I wasn't really gaining anymore.
I rev'd out third gear then let off. That's fast enough for the streets, even in a high speed stretch.
So now he blows by me, and damn he was moving too. In a real 1/4 mile it would likely be close.
A little while later I come up to a set of lights in town, and there he is again. I drive along side, and look over at him and nod. He nods back, and he's got the BIGGEST, DUMBEST looking, ear-to-ear smile I've ever seen!
On another note, just got back from the track. Ran 14.76 @ 92.22 mph as my best today. Alot of other J bodies were there, including a supercharged 2.4L that I beat a few times. He beat me on one run where I missed 4th gear. But other than that we were very close most of the time. His best was a 14.8.
