Default Horsed around with an RSX Type S

Well, after the longest two weeks of my life I finally got to the end of my break-in period last night. Did a couple of full throttle runs to redline, lots of fun.

Anyhow, this morning I'm driving to work going 120 km/h in the left hand lane when I spot a car coming up quite fast on me, probably 140 to 150 km. Gets closer and I see its a red RSX. I pull into the right hand lane to let him pass.

He zips by and I notice the Type S badge, so I decide to have some fun. So I drop in behind him, drop to fourth and gun it. He obviously floors cuz this big puff of exhaust comes out when I get in behind him.

Long story short, I've never reeled a car in so fast in my life. He pulled over at 180 km/h and shut her down, I did the same. He did a couple of short blasts from 130 to 160-170 after that. I just kept it in fifth and stayed with him no problem.

I love this freakin' car.

Watch what you say,..I hope one w/ Hondata dosen't run up on you!!! It will hang w/ you maybe beat you or I!! I'd be worried
<--------------(ex-RSX-S owner)but never owned it w/ Hondata.

they are runnin times like 14.1 and one guy hit 13.8 w/ just Hondata/INtake/Exhaust and other then stock tires!


Beware...they are gettin to be the Best Honda ever bulit since the ECU flash---now,.if we can only het a similar flash for our Z's,..it will be the same I promise--(its comming out from NISSDATA)--heard from a friend w/ a 240SX!
