Well, Tony ran around 15.6 with all his audio stuff in an AE auto , so I would think you have a good chance,

6spd, so I guess you're talking about the Type S one. A well driven RSX-S should able to hit low 15s stock. I seen RSX-S hitting 15.0 in the 1/4 mile stock and even a 14.8 stock. So it's all up to the driver I guess. With that in mind, it depends on what your car is capable of. I don't know much about auto 5th gen, but a RSX-S would kill an auto 4th gen.

Just race him from a complete stop. If you launch on him really well you might get him. But definitly manually shift to redline every gear.

I believe they run 0-60 in 6.1 seconds. If thats the case, the RSX would be faster.

The RSX-S should take you. My friend in his RSX-S beat me in a 2k2 Auto Maxima by 2 cars.

RSX-S on this one also... Who knows though, just race him and find out... Do they really run 6.1 0-60, i thought it was more like 6.3-6.4ish?

If its beats a 4th gen auto, it will blow away an early 5th gen auto 00 or 01. I beat one in my 2k2 auto the other day on the 190 by about 2 cars before we shut down at 85mph.

I raced my friend's RSX-S up to about 95 mph, he took me by a car length. I took him hard off the line, he caught up a bit in second, and edged ahead by a car by 3rd. We both only had intakes.

Oh, this was in my 2k auto hehehe..
