the original post never said anything about mods.

besides that, when i was stock, i never had a problem with any rsx with intake and race header. raced 2 from a roll i would still always pull no problem. and from a stop, they didn't have a chance. your buddy races crummy drivers.

the closest any rsx came to me was from a 20mph roll when i was stock. the rsx had intake/exhaust and hondata. we were even til about 80 or 90. then i started to pull.

They can be pesky if they get a jump.

I spent two years on the Celica forums and NEVER heard of ANY GT-S winning a direct race, at any speed or in any situation.

I can't imagine an RSX-S pulling with header and intake. Thats like ~10-15 HP, maybe?
