Jhonda has a little shameless behaviour in the past
SVTF vs RSX-s

Well the other day I had a chance to race a rsx-s all I could tell that he
had was a intake due to the sound in power with v-tech and maybe
a exhaust.

Well It was from about a 55mph roll and we start I pulled on him up to about
in 120 had about a 2 car lengths and then he crept by me and kept going I shut down at about 130mh. damn those things got some top end on em. Well I did better than I thought I would.

By the way this was done about 2:30 in the morning with no one on the interstate...I know it wasn't safe but what a thrill. I don't recommend this to anyone. BE SAFE

Wait..........If you have what I think you have, then you my friend are full of ****!! SVT Focus' are slow as ****. I have beaten this one kid that lives in my town repeatedly. There is no way in hell you would have pulled on that car.

Not every driver is the same. That's how he beat a rsx-s and that's definately how you beat a SVT focus.

On top of that, you don't know what's been done to that Focus.

No you wait listen I do not have a stock focus
And I ran a 14.987 at 93mph at rockingham 2 weeks ago. SO please know what your talking about before you say someone is full of ****. I know that he would have got me off the line but not from a 50mph roll. Plus maybe he can't drive so good and maybe I can. And the kid who lives in your town must not know how to drive or maybe got one of the bad ones. Some of the svt focus are not broke in well which is leaving them with not so much horse power. But even the bad ones still have 143hp and 128tq to the wheels.
Plus you said "I beat this ONE kid that lives in my town repeatedly."
Well when I was at rockingham I BEAT THIS ONE SUBARU WRX wagon with a 5 speed. Thats because maybe he couldn't drive or maybe its because he only had a 1000miles on it. He was running 16sec 1/4 miles all night

What does your SVT top out at? I know for a fact that the RSX type S tops out at 130 due to the limit on the ECU.

My car has a limiter on it they say at 134 but Im not sure
When I was coming back from the mountains my speedometer
said 140mph but it could be off at that speed...plus I was going down
a pretty steep hill. Theres a video of a svtF drafting some other car at
145mph

The rsx is not ecu governed. It is drag limited

144 mph
