Still enough to blow some doors off. 500+ is a very respectable number.

I dyno'd on a hub dyno and a dynojet. numbers were about 3 percent apart (dynapack-600whp, dynojet-580whp). don't believe the hype.

as if their opinion meant anything to our community.

fact is that most communitys out there are completely biased when it comes to their cars.

except for 350z owners, who are some of the most sensible enthusiasts anywhere.

i respect every persons modding hobby, but i just dont find RSXs the least bit intresting. I did when i had a hyundai tiburon and was into the sports compact market . But after driving a sports car , i find the good ol FWD drive train kinda retarted around a road course. No pun intended but, i dunno just doesnt strike me. I get more excited watching a Z or a S2k , i guess as you get better and better cars what used to amaze suddenly becomes tame and bland. Im sure when i get a elise ill feel somewhat different about my Z. ........................naHHH love it to much. but yea im sure ill feel different driving a go cart around a track lmao.
