wanna swap your 3.3 for my 3.5 since it's not helping you much? *haha*

Lol anything can be fast if you throw money into it. And people will still probably make jokes about the rsx.

That is a mean, mean RSX.
For the record I've never driven my turbo max on a good street tire like a high performance summer tire - I've driven it on some really worn out dry rotted street all season street tires but that's it (actually I've driven it on snow tires too - lol that was a joke... I was still spinning at the 1000' mark). I'm going to try it this summer though at some point probably just for curiousity's sake.
I imagine a 300whp maxima would be fine in 2nd gear on a good street tire, 1st gear would require pedalling.
BTW doug - the fastest stock 4th gen is 14.51 with a completely full tank of gas (spare tire and jack removed however, 3102lbs with me in it that day)
