Only thing better than beating an RSX-S.. is beating a cocky one!

This was probably my favorite kill of all time, you'll see why. Quick scenario, it's me + 2 people in my Civic, sitting at a light getting ready to make a left onto SW 137th ave (3 lane, 1/2 mile interval between lights, excellent for "quickies"). While sitting there, I spot a silver RSX going the other way and note to Ray, "Ya know, I've gotta run one of those sometime." I make my left and not even 2 mins later, what comes up along my passenger side.. yep, a black RSX Type S. Stock looking w/ tints, 19-22 year old driving, friend in the passenger side, girl in the back. So we've both got 3 passengers.
After stopping at a light together, it goes green and I leave normally, RSX doesn't do anything so I just putt along, suddenly I hear the a very loud and distinct VTEC cross over the and RSX is blaring by me, bastard! I stomp on it in 2nd, hit 3rd and by the top of 3rd am door to door with him, hit 4th and pull about a car away woohoo! At the next red light he rolls his windown and I ask him if it's a real Type S, he says yes and I don't say anything but have his disapointed look on my face. I mean for 200hp and 142lbs of torque, I did expect a better showing since I've had GS-R's give me a harder time. Then he busts out with a "I wasn't even trying..." Oh really? He says "oh you wanna go?!" I agree and we're ready for the green.

3-2-1 go! We pull off the line together, I've got maybe a nose on him by the top of 2st, 2nd I put a good car on him, 3rd it's about 2.5 cars, 4th and I shut down at about 95, up by some 4 cars.. so not only did I beat him, I beat him worse than when he wasn't trying... AND I got to rub it in his face lol!! Ahh yes, the only thing better than beating a cocky driver, is one who shoves his foot WAY down his mouth

bwahaha... Great Kill!

Its all about driver skill. Just because you beat one car doesn't mean that type of car is slow. I've beaten 01 Mustang GT's before but that doesn't mean my car is faster. Props on your kill, but don't judge all cars by one kill.

very true, ive had ppl tell me they've beaten a h22 lude before and dont wana race me cause they've beaten one. and visa versa, i even caught myself saying it last night, some kid has a v6 stang, and he wanted to go, i really didnt feel like racing so i was like, ive beaten alot of v6 stangs very badly before, but then he was like i got exaust and a chip, so i went for it, won by a few cars upto top of 3rd. i had a pretty bad launch, but still won.

Oh i'm not judging all RSX's, but none the less, this one was just uninspried. I know I've supprised alot of people even before I was turbo, been acused of having a motor swap, NOS, you name it. Nothing makes up for bad driving I know. I'm sure the RSX is a capable car, but in this case, I beat t cleanly. Also note, he left the line with me pretty closley, not much wheel spin and neither I nor my co-pilot detected any mis-shifts at all..

Are you serious?? I dont believe they run high 14's...where did you see that????

Car and Driver got a 14.8 on their test. A few owners have posted stock timeslips of 14.6 and dynos of about 180 to the wheels. The car definitely has potential.
