u will feel more stupid if u speed and get caught by cop.
u gotta work your butt off to pay for ticket then.

it depends what you want out of your tC. if u wanna race, get race car. tC is 160hp.

if you bought a tC just to race... hmm... either you have a lot of money to put into it... or you bought the wrong car.

your stock and wanna race? Bad idea, we dont even get the 160hp that it advertises. Auto is pushing about 130 while the 5spd is around 140?

ive actually been thinking about getting rid of the tC for an RSX. Im going nuts with this cheap plastic and all these rattles!!!!!!! but i still love her.

its odd how a simple question can enlighten certain people to know what`s best for you, if you don`t have something constructive to say don`t reply. As for the question, (nauticalblueasian) lil_will and Yanki01 are right. bhp for an rsx is >200 ,we get >160bhp on a good day.

its not very likely in a stock tc
you'll have a better chance vs the 02-04 models than the 05-06s
if you are that concern about beating this guy
buy an srt-4 then, cheap and stock for stock you should smoke him

by the way...i hate srt-4s
the only thing they are good for is cheap speed
