I think it's a kill considering the RSX is a far superior machine to the Civic, and he should have destroyed me, but he didn't. Don't worry, I infact read your post correctly lease:

ok girls lets stop the fighting, he beat the rsx, no matter how he did it he beat the rsx, just like you are sure that you can beat every civic. Just let it go, arguing on the internet just makes you look even more retarded

Really though. I'm not the kind of person that makes stuff up, if I post something like this, it's for a reason, the sole reason that it actually happened, whether you want to believe that DC5 is up to you, but that's the truth.

Okay, let me get this right:

You post about "killing" a RSX in your Civic LX automatic w/ 3 occupants. Then you say you won because the RSX driver was too chicken **** to follow you around corners in high speeds.

Get this in your head: It's not a kill if the other driver wasn't racing you. Would you race a Geo Metro w/ 3 ppl in it around corners at high speeds? What if the Geo Metro lost control around the corner but you didn't? You'd still be behind it...

You say you won because of your superior driver skill. How hard is it to drive an automatic anyway? Point, gas, and brake. That's it.

I say you went around the corner faster just because the RSX driver was smarter than you and didn't want to risk having you crash, taking out his car in the process.

No, I never once said driving an automatic was hard, did I? No.

The corner was a long sweeping bend, not a sharp corner like you think it must be.

You said that you won because of your superior driving skills. I pointed out that there is *little* driver skill involved in driving an automatic.

I'm happy for you if you're glad that you beat a RSX.

It's just that in my book, that wasn't really a "kill" because the RSX driver wasn't racing you.

I also do find it ironic the RSX defenders are in here saying there is no way this would have happened and that it isn't possible that he won the race in his LX.

I remember having this same argument on clubrsx.com about the S2000 vs a stock RSX-S. And the RSX people were defending the claim of the RSX-S, even though he had a couple passengers. And this was at freeway speeds.

Interesting how the tables have turned.

Uh, when you don't have the ***** to take a sweeping bend at speed, yeah, I consider that driving skill over the other. And I'll say it again, he was racing me, no doubt about it.

I also said he was gaining slightly on the straights, but I lost him on the bends, so he was obviously racing me if he was gaining on the straights, but didn't have the ***** to corner at the same speed. The turn is really quite wide, and can be taken at quite a higher speed than what I did.

Holy crap! How many times do I have to say it before you understand? 5? 10? maybe 15?

He was too chicken to go fast around it. That's what seperates the winners from the losers, in any form of racing.

And if you're calling me an ignorant fan boy, you better take a long look at yourself, because you just can't deny the fact that this could ever happen to your precious RSX, can you?. I know the RSX is faster than the Civic, who doesn't? If a better driver was in the RSX, he would have won, but there wasn't, so that's that.

What is the point of this thread then? To proclaim to everyone in 7thgencivic.com that Majarvis has BIG ***** and that his excellent skills in driving an automatic secured him a win over a RSX?

Nevermind the fact that the RSX driver probably didn't want to tail him around a corner and risk him crashing taking the RSX out in the process.

This thread is pointless. I'm out

The picture you posted proves nothing to me or any member on this board

well maybe you should goto your acura dealer and see if a base rsx really hits 93mph at 7k rpm in 3rd gear huh??

hahaha and your method of pressing the clutch in?? omg only ppl that drive civics can come up with that.. i give you mad props for that idea.. hahhahahahaha lmao

btw Majarvis ...

next time you wanna show your passengers how much "*****" you got.. by taking "long sweeping turns at high speeds" think about how many "*****" you might loose if you flipped your LX ..

between the 3 of you .. i'd say there's a chance of you 3 loosing 6 "*****" ..

just cuz someone doesn't wanna race or doesn't wanna go as crazy as you want.. or doesn't deem you worthy as an opponent doesn't mean you killed them..

by your standards.. every god dam car i pass on the road that don't catch up to me is a kill ..

Are you blind or just stupid? He started to fly by me, when I was already going 120 in a 100 zone, and it pisses me off when people do that, so I floored it, and we were side by side for a bit until the turn, now just shut the **** up, because I'm getting sick and tired of you not knowing what you're talking about. You weren't there, so you have no clue what happened, only I do, and that's what I have told.

As for you last comment, you really are an idiot. No, not every car that you pass is a kill you stupid moron. He was passing me, or did you miss that too? lease:

Topend wise, there is really little difference in acceleration between all the Civic chassis varients. I had a simalar thing happen on my way back from San Diego. I just hung with this RSX the whole way. It seemed to really **** off the kid too, like Oh no! the little civic can keep up with you at 100+. Off the line though, the kid would have creamed me. If some one was board enough to find out what the 100-120 times are of all the current Civic based chassis you'd find that there is really little difference. 0-60 however is a different story.
Here you go for the Civic
Acceleration:
Zero to 30 mph 2.9
Zero to 40 mph 4.3
Zero to 50 mph 6.2
Zero to 60 mph 8.4
Zero to 70 mph 11.5
Zero to 80 mph 14.9
Zero to 90 mph 19.5
Zero to 100 mph 25.7
Zero to 110 mph 36.1
Street start, 5-60 mph 9.8
Top-gear acceleration, 30-50 mph RoadTest 11.3
Top-gear acceleration, 50-70 mph RoadTest 12.6
Standing 1/4-mile 16.7
Top speed 127 mph

This is of course based on the EX and not the LX

And likewise, we questioned whether or not the S2000 was actually "racing" the RSX-S when it "beat" the S2000. But of course, all the RSX boys would have none of that, and they wouldn't accept that. I'm not saying you were involved in that, however, my point is this goes both ways.

If the RSX boys argued til they were blue in the face that the S2000 WAS racing, and that the RSX-S won, then expect that the civic people here are going to argue the exact same way. It goes both ways.

You know what, I give up. I've had it up to here trying to argue something that happened. If it makes you shut up DC5, then I'll say the race never happened, there is no such thing as a Civic LX Sedan, and the base RSX is the fastest machine on the planet, that no Formula One car can even compete with, not even the Ferrari F2003-GA. Happy now?!?!
