Alright, not to start an arguement- my buddy had an 03 rsx-s. Honestly stock the thing would surprise the hell out of you, although you did have to watch the speedo(torqueless wonder. When we graduated he had done the basic intake exhaust header and tune. Honest to God yall - it was incredible - easily fater than my buddy's mr2 turbo faster than my girlfriends G - and the same speed as another buddy's 02? auto camaro. Now before you go off on the "auto" part.. he had just traded his 6 sp in for it b/c the auto launched better at the 1/8th track (he did alot of that). But anyway- im not sayin he would take a cobra/newer vette or anything like that but it was remarkable. All the power you could get out of it for so cheap. Now all he had left to do to keep it na was like bore cams etc. It wouldn't have beat a cobra (03/04) but it would surprise the hell out of you. Not siding with the dumbass that wrote the letter, I'm just saying... alot of people underestimate the power of 2 litre 4 cylinders.
A month after we graduated he umm...turbod it... with my help and a few of other guys... right after his street tune he had abt 280 at the wheels.. which means... about 200 at the wheels when he hung w/ the camaro that had intake exhaust headers...
