Acura RSX Type S is fairly quick

[Rev]

New Acura RSX Type S was fooling around on Braeswood here in Houston. He would goose it and then let off with me behind him and a fair amount of traffic. I was trying to get beside him so as to catch a light or even go from a roll. He wouldn't cooperate to have it that way so I just stayed right behind him. Traffic opened up in his lane and he goosed it. I hit it right after he did thinking I would just run up on his bumper so as to show him I was faster. Didn't quite work out like that. I was 3 or 4 car lengths behind him when I hit it at about 30. We went up to maybe 80 on a city street with traffic in front of us. I gained only about 1 car length during that time. He was cool and waved before he moved into the right turn lane to turn off.

At 2770 lbs with a 6 speed and 200 HP, he was faster than I thought he would be. He does have 200 less lbs. than me, and a 87% efficient drive train compared to my rwd C-4/8" combo whch Ibelieve to be about 75% efficient. Still, I thought I would embarass him pretty badly when in reality, I barely pulled on him.

I would like to run him from a stand still. Pretty sure I would nail him badly there.
