last night me and my girlfriend were heading to town when we pulled up to the 4 way stop sign we meat up with an acura, i had no idea what he had, rumor is that there is an acura gsr running around our little town of idaho falls that has a superchager on it but i don't know what it looks like, i didn't think that he was going to try anything so me and my g/f were just talking, when i looked in the rear view, he was coming up along the side of me full bore so with nothin to lose i punched we kept up pretty good (but still losing) i knew there was no chance so i let off. good race i guess but its my first beating.i pulled up next to him at the light he said that i was 2001 gsr didn't mention anything about any mods kinda acted funny when i asked i he had done anything he just changed subject.
What can you do to a 95 auto max with borla cat-back and K&N filter, to even keep up with these guys. i'm racing a 2000 honda civic si (as soon as the roads get better he wont race untill spring i guess he is to scared of a little snow) but do you think that i have a chance against him
thanks

Ok well fist of all GS-R's run low 15s stock....Dont wake it as suck a big deal there fast cars....and you being a auto, yeah him beating u isent a surpize to me.... If you had a 5 speed you would have walked all over him...your Q with the civic SI , if it stock , you should be able to take it

 

ouch! i beat a 1999civic si by ahhhhhh 1/2 a car or somethin.

 

Well actually ya a 95 auto max would probably lose to a gsr...I would know I have one and I race maxima's all the time. I always lose to BrianV even before he had a SC...so check out his mods. If you race an Si I guarentee you that you will obliterate him. Si's are VERY slow. Good Luck!!!

 

stock civic si's are slow...ive raced two, one stock si w/exhaust and whooped him, with 3 other people in my car, then a 1998 ( i think ) stock one, and beat his *** too

 

i've raced my friends 00 Si plenty of times and whomp on him each time. there was a local gs-r (he sold it for a civic hb) and he had intake/exhaust, maybe a few little more mods. both times we raced, i consistantly beat him, not by a lot, but it was definitely a decent win. i dunno if he knew how to drive or not at that time tho. he went to a drag strip a few months afterwards and had 14.9's. i know my auto couldn't prolly do 14.9's. who knows.......

 

Borla cat back? I didn't know they made them for Maximas. Did they custom make it for you? How do you like it?

 

do not know if it was custom built it came with the car when i bought it, its ok i guess.

 

ANOTHER ORG MEMBER FROM IDAHO FALLS!!!! I think I am going to faint!! What do you drive, who are you? I know everymax in IF, I just bought one and havent gotten it yet. 99 SE, Loaded. Wow, are you in the White GXE with Altezzas? If so I am the guy that talked to ya in Checker the other day. If not, WHO ARE YOU?

BTW,
I had a 96 SE and 94 GSR 4 door at the same time. I raced my wife, her driving the Auto Maxima and me in the GSR, shifting left handed while talking on the cell phone, and with not so good a launch, SHE WALKED me! I think the GSR is certainly a better track car, but it is harder to drive fast. Maxima a better road car. My Honda Accord Coupe, nice to look at, and NOTHIN else. My Expedition Eddie Bauer, nice to cruise in....oh, OT sorry. Well, tell me who you are, I will keep my out for your car!

 

Yes racing him from a start the results might be different, since he already ad alot of momentum. I actually beat a GSR 5spd about 2 months ago in my 97auto on the way home from work.

 

Both of these cars are pretty even, my buddy has a 97 gsr 5-speed, and we have raced 4 times, first time i was stock and i am also a auto, we went from 20-80 and i had him by a car, then we raced three times from 0 to 60 (I had CAI this time) and he beat me all three tims by maybe half a car if that, But he also shifted alot better that time. So it all depends on the driver, b/c otherwise the cars are very close in a race. so people that have raced a gsr in their stock automax and beat them, the driver in the gsr probably wasn't that good, if modded then thats a different story.

I'd say that's smart, not scared.

 

civic si? uh....i beat those with no effort by like at least 3 car length hmm... gsr....beat those all the time too...
