Me vs RSX Type S

Hi, I have a encouter with an RSX Type S to share with you boys. I was driving down the highway at around 120- 130 km/h when this nice blue RSX pulls next to me in the right lane. A femalewas driving the RSX, I could not see the trim model from where I was. So I just down shift t0 4th gear and start pulling on her up to about 150kmh and let go and she follows me but she never catch me the way I expected a faster car to catch on me, so I just keep on slowing down untils she catches me and I step on it a couple of times like that until I decide just to let her pass in front of me. So I noticed that it was a RSX Type S (200HP) So I get angry at her because I don't understand why she can't keep up with me but she is still driving fast , like 160kmh when I was following her. So I just got back in frnt of her to see if she is going to pass me or something. So I get kind of tired and she did not even impressed me and I just stopped doing that. I am disapointed in the RSX on the highay. I got really impressed on the 1/4 mile when I got beaten by an WRX and a 180HP Matrix, but this RSX really sucked.

that's it!

see ya

HAHA!


Good story! Although i must say, she didnt know how to drive. You have to drive one or drive in one to appreciate the power of a RSX-S. Those things are FAST, i repeat FAST. MAybe with a 75 shot a civic would make a run at a RSX-S. You think your 3RD GEAR PULLS HARD!!!
RSX-S pulls twice as hard! NO BS!

Hmmm... I’m going to have to remember this mindset next time I toy with a slow car.
Better to just crush their ego outright, as not to propagate misinformation and one-sided internet stories.

she could have been driving it a little hard , but not racing. in fact, my auto sucks so much that my friends 97 lx 5 speed sedan pulled on me hard till 60, then she was neck to neck with me and then passed her at like 70. same mods like i do, i/h/e.

Good Kill





Just kidding..........you would have a better chance light to light......and you would still get smoked......on the highway you would get ripped...

you would only need bolt-ons and a 50 shot to smoke an rsx......

and you don't have it......

I am just telling you the fact that she was driving fast and she did not impress me. I don't know what she wanted to do but still she was following me fast and she was just not killing me so that's it. This is no bullshit. But I am telling you that on the 1/4 mile a WRX and a 180HP Matrix did kill me and I was impressed. but yesterday's encounter did not impress me at all. that's it. Anyway it's true that it is just a one side story but what can i tell you !
I will soon drive allong with my friend who as a 2k2 SIR and also another friend with a 2003 GTI Vr6. I'll tell you how much they kill me as soon as it happens.

Driving fast and racing are two separate issues. She was just driving fast. You killed nothing.

I am sorry but why does she need to impress you? She probably lets u go in front of her so the cop will clock you first with the radar OR she must think you are crazy and decide to stay behind. Not everyone who drives a car like RSX wanted to race.
