Doug, Im not entirely sure what the purpose of this thread is really. We all know that RSX's can be built to go fast. The owner of this car used some pretty nice parts, and got a quality tune. Therefor, it was made fast. The same can be said for almost any car.
This car is no way driving on the streets, with street tires, and putting it down. It would be a nightmare. It would be easier to control however then a Z with a ton of horsepower and traction issues. I understand what your saying there.
Maxima's are the *****. I agree, most people have no idea just how light they really are. I bet most people would think that they weigh more then the 2800lbs or so. Thats pretty close to S14's, RSX's, and many other smaller cars.

You go straight. Turning is a no-no.

Obviously I know mardigrasmax has more power than 300whp, it sucks to have slicks on and still have traction issues, goes to show you that even with tires they have issues! At the end of the day what is your point back at me? If its that 300whp in a FWD on regualr tires can hook up from 1st, then go back and read my previous post, show me...
I never one time said anything about my Z, or any high power Z losing a$$ when racing.
