No, i laughed and "attacked" your initial post because YOU made it sound like all turbo RSX's should be making 324whp. So then after that, you threw out some statment about they were either running low boost (to me means like 4 or 5psi and that just wouldn't cut it against my car), or they sucked at driving. Calling me presumptuous and arrogant is only gonna **** me off, and make the entire situation worse. Leave name calling and flaming for the kiddies. You want to debate a topic, then do so without insults.
The point of my statement was if the car was setup how it should have been, IMO, then it should have beaten you.
Right. setup how YOU would set it up. not all turbo RSX's are 12 second screamers. in fact the 6-8psi RSX's are mid 13's, right in my range. so again, how 'you' feel they should be set up is irrelevant to this story and this topic. otherwise might as well take any car that anyone races and go "well yeah if they had blah blah blah, it would have beaten you". and then you want to call me arrogant?

You say turbo, i think this guy should have some serious boost, but apparently not, so i was just stating what i thought of about the rsx in your post. It is called a response, what are you a teacher keeping me on task, gimme a break. I was just thinking out loud. What does your stupid s2000 race have to do with 7thgen civics, nothing, but it is interesting, it has to do with strip/track, so you posted it.
What does the fact that I drive an S2000 have to do with anything? Ok, so "you" feel that a turbo RSX running more boost should beat me. As it should! But obviously this one didn't. But that doesn't mean it's running "low boost" or a "crappy driver" as you first indicated.
"i thought rsx-S could make 324whp on stock internals"-this does have to do with your race, if he was making this much he prob would have one, so he had less than this, probably.
right and an S2000 can make over 500whp on stock internals so if I had been running that, I guess I would have won. Ever heard of "run what ya brung?" Again, why are you debating what some RSX with more mods can do? He DIDNT have the mods you're talking about, and to say 'well if he had this this and this he'd win' is really a pointless argument. I'm reminded of some people that go "oh yeah well you may be faster, but wait til i do this and this".

Also, i can walk a dog too buddy, great, you wanna bone, how about a golf clap?
I think you forget, this is a civic forum and some people are tired hearing about your s2000, man.
I can be arrogant too, it aint hard!!!
I've owned 2 7th gen civics in the past. I've been here since early 2001. I've been a moderator and admin of this site for several years. don't like reading about my S2000? then don't read my threads. it's quite simple. i will not warn you about this "arrogant" name calling or this type of subject matter again.

Alot of that was just to get you heated, IE you should have lost, but you were being arrogant and presumtuous, sure i was being general when i only said stock internals, but you interpreted the general statement with arrogance.
I never meant that you should have lost at first, just after you laughed at me. I was just saying that it was probably not at high boost, i never meant that all turboed rsxi have to have high boost, i was just thinking, so instead of saying it must have been at low boost, i should have just said lower. I did not mean like 5-6 psi.

"But obviously this one didn't. But that doesn't mean it's running "low boost" or a "crappy driver" as you first indicated. "-probably cause if it was at higher boost and there was a decient driver he would have one, did not mean to **** you off here just was trying to figure out what happened, listing possiblities.

I know about "well when i get this done etc..." but i meant he could have turned **** depending on his setup, or have it tuned to run at higher boost, the parts are on there, unless he had a real small turbo. You would have to install a turbo on your car, so there is a difference in saying what i said and well your faster now but just wait...
I actually like reading about your s2000 cause i love them, i was just being an @$$hole. This happens all the time, i get hit with some arrogance, and then i try to hit back harder, it childish, but it can be fun, thats why i started saying you should have lost. We were both arrogant, i just took it to next level, i appologize.
About my last three lines-You did not think it was funny at all, oh well.
I did not actually call you any names, anyway lighten up man, its not like i was cursing at you.


What about trail breaking on motorcycle, man that remeinds me i had this crazy dream and idea for a movie, it had to do with me and my friend chasing this guy on bikes, i was on the back he was driving. I threw seratted knife in his helment visor, cause we were chasing him and we would speed up past him to try ot get him, throwing all kinds of sh#t, so was he. I finally just lept off my bike onto the guy, knocking him off bike, and we went tumbling, it was f#cking sweet.
