i was soo close to buying one over the Z, but the $$$ made the Z a better buy... The R32 is awesome, there not as fast as an sti, or an evo, but damn they're nice inside, and you don't have any of that "Boy Racer" look

Default I couldn't believe it myself.

It was from about a 65mph roll. I know if I raced the R32 off a line. It would have been a different race. He started to die out in my 4th gear. Started to pull about a car or car & 1/2. I was surprised and so was he. Now with the Rsx turbo, I held him off about a car til like 120 then he caught up and started to inch by me. But I knew sooner or later he was goin to catch up do to a turbo. But off the line, he would have been done. Unless he put DR's by the time he catches grip I would be gone. He actually told me that. He yelled out the window, I'm lucky I didn't race you off the line. I would have gotten killed. Cool kid. Love friendly races. Overall I think they are good victories. I don't know what it is. But my Z moves for a bolt-on N/A Z. Good driver helps 2.

Hmm.. I didn't think the turbo'd type-S would that much high end power to start inching up on you in the triple digit speeds

sounds fishy, a turbo rsx-s should have beat you with the mods you have even if the kid granny shifts he should have pulled on you. my boy with i/h/e and hondata is running hard as f#$k, he actually keeps up with me. i usally beat him by 1/2 a car and im running jwt popcharger, strup headers, 5/16 plenum spacer, custom hks exhaust, pulleys, test pipes. maybe he doesnt know how to drive or he wasnt tuned properlly or he cant catch grip.

If it's a fairly stock R32....go 130mph + and you definitely have it in the bag.

I don't know what to tell you. It was a Type S turbo. He def caught grip. Def wasn't a bad driver. Cause he caught up inchin up by me. Probably does need sum tuning. But thats not my fault. I probably need a reflash 2. So, oh well. My Z might be reacting to mods better then urs. Idk what to tell you. I might be a better driver. All I know is that is what happen.

I believe it. You don't know how well tuned the Turbo RSX S is.

If it wasn't well tuned it wouldn't put much more than 250+whp. Plus he had all those mods on the Z. He had atleast 250+whp plus the lighter flywheel helps too. Good kills!
