That would only prove that those dudes couldn't drive. I told you, I have it on vid.

When you have that many people running similar times, and then you have 1 or 2 hitting lower times. That doesn't make you question it? Either your a better driver than you say you are rythmn, or something. I don't know, show me some vids though. I'd like to see this.

I wanna add my $.02 about the NA tC vs the typeS automatic. I had this 17yr olds gf throw something out her window and it almost hit my car so I got ____ed (and at the time I wanted to pull the kid out of his car) ...anyway .... I took off after him and the typeS could not get away from me. I was riding my car HARD trying to catch him. I stopped after a few min of following (.....it was a 17yr old ....come on now .... what would I have done if I caught him ...gone to jail? ....) anyway - my point is ...if you get a ____ed off manual tc na car against an automatic type-s ....he will win but he wont be winning by much ..... he will be right infront of ya by a car.

i know the guy was an automatic but like i said - i wanted to give my $.02

If its an auto its not a type-s, the type-s only comes in a 6spd. The standard rsx comes in both auto and manual. So if you know this was an auto, you wouldn't stand the slightly chance against a type-s.

very true. Then it was a manual and now I have even less respect for it. Glad you pointed that out.

If all you had was intake and maybe a exhaust, like you said on AIM, you shouldn't have been able to keep up with him. But like you said, hes 17 and i call noob.

No, this wasn't our car. We only had the ZPI S-pipe + ZPI exhaust during our N/A'ed days. I'm talking about MikeScion(jerseyMike). He was running I/H/E/Crank P and high 14's. When I get back from the Scikotics meet today, I will dig through my vids for you.

how do u know if the punk 17yr old didnt just slap a type-s emblem on? if it was a type-s on the freeway, he would have left u in the dust. assuming theres no traffic to swerve around in.

And you are a professional driver? I'd love to see this because this is faster than ANYONE, and i do mean anyone has accomplished. Even if you are a professional driver i still wouldn't believe this.

pretty good to get a .6 reaction when .5 is almost dead perfect for top alcohol drivers If you did, good for you. I want your car. But if you ran a 16.2, you need to work on your shifting.

That sounds much more believable. Are you a auto? If so thats a good time, otherwise you need to work a little harder.

You're looking at best around a 15.5 and worst around a 15.9. Average.
