+1 Definitely a honda power band.
+1 Lack of traction + FWD = ***** to floor it on the street. I'm sure daily driving wouldnt be that bad though since the turbo doesnt kick in til late.
Nice car. Looks like a sleeper.

FWD with a regular street tires (non DR) has serious issues putting dow 300whp, while I run reg tires, bad camber and can put down nearly 600whp from as low as 2nd gear. The dyno is impressive but I wouldnt hesitate 1 second to race this guy on the street and show him traction > power

I don't think you will hesitate for 1 second to racing anybody
I bet you couldnt show me one guy with 300whp on regular street tires who could hook up from 1st or 2nd, they would either spin or peddle so bad they would get yanked 2 cars before 3rd gear. Regardless, I could care less what Maxima/RSX guys do, 99% of the situation I described will spin

On a street light race 0-50run a stock Z/G would more than likely pull it out the hole and the Turbo RSX would walk up to it. From a 2nd or 3rd gear roll the RSX would win if the driver is skilled. I had 275 MT ET Radials on the front of my turbo'd Maxima (130mph traps), and 1st gear, even at on a well prepped track, was tough to launch. 2nd was okay at the track as long as I shifted easy, on the street I needed to use speed based low boost to get traction. 3rd was okay street or track. Never again will I drive a high hp FWD car. FWD FTL
