My first kill with my 2K2! A modded RSX Type S! YAY!
I'll keep this short. First of all, I will lead with the typical street racing disclaimer. I shut it down as soon as I reached the speed limit. It was on a relatively open road with mild traffic.
A modded RSX Type S pulled up next to me at a red light with a passenger in his car- both looked like late high schoolers. He had super loud exhaust and was revving it like crazy at me trying to instigate a race. I pretended not to notice, but when the light turned green, I punched it.
I'm not sure if I just caught him off guard or what, but I pulled on him the entire time. I slaughtered him by at least 3 car lengths in a 0-60 run. Afterward he did a typical ricer flyby and took off.
I thought those cars were quicker. Was this a fluke? I mean, I really, really killed him.

LoL. So let me get this straight, u shut it down at the speed limit of 60? Haven't seen one of those around here! haha Those cars are semi quick, there is a video I watched of this Type S racing an IS300 and he beat the IS300 by a car length or so, so it doesn't surprise me that you KILLED it.

It was a fluke to win by 3 cars to 60. Should be about 1/2 - 1 car if you both had equal launches and if was a good driver at best. Plus he was modded so should be pretty close. Type S are no joke especially modded and on the highway. A 6spd max is faster but not by much. Go to the track and let us know your times and traps.

It wasnt a fluke a 6spd Max is more than 1/2 car to 1 car faster to 60 than a RSX Type S. Their 0-60 times are on par with 02/03 autos mid 6's and mid to high 14 1/4 mile times, whereas 6spd can drop into the low 14's stock easily and very low 6's to 60 mph. A few tenths of a second is more than a few car lengths at speed. Go to http://forums.clubrsx.com/showthread.php?threadid=75353 and you will see, they even have some threads about Maximas.

PS "Stock" 6spd Maximas can not run low 14's "easily" let alone consistantly. (especially with 18's)

I am guessing that this guy had basic bolt ons- exhaust, etc.
Yes, I beat him on the launch, but probably by a 1/2 car length. I still would have expected him to be relatively close, but through 2nd gear is where I really pulled away.
Also, I could clearly hear his exhaust and he was definitely trying the entire time.
Regarding the legality: Yes, it was mildly illegal.....but it was actually safe. By the time we exited the school zone, we were doing no more than 45 mph. [/bad joke]

I haven't been able to find an RSX... but last night Jordan was following me and I was head to head at a stoplight with a modded WRX. The guy kept revving his engine... but I wasn't stupid enough to try that one... like I want to prove that I can get smoked.
Funny thing is, 5 min later some guy in an Acura CL pulls up and actually wanted to try it off of the line... I sped up until I was 2 car lengths ahead and then let off... and he stopped trying.

One word: Torque.
Your quick launch and his passenger weight made the difference of 3 car lenghts to 60.

If you race a Lightning off the line, it will outright SLAUGHTER a Maxima. If you race it on the highway, you will kill it... Lightnings are not a 'highway' vehicle... they are pure 1/4 mile killers.
