About 3 years back the magazine Sport Compact Car pitted the type R against a 99 mustang GT. The GT smoked it in all acceleration tests. The Acura was faster in the slalom and braked quicker. And of course, the Acura won the comparison (they wouldn't invite the test if the mustang was 'favored'). You need to remember that Acura dealers were installing Jackson racing superchargers as an option on the type Rs. The kit costs about 3k, and lets the integra pump out @ 240 hp. Stock you could kick the dudes ***, modified could be a challenge. But if he's gonna shell out 3k for a supercharger, you should do the same before you race him. People always comparing apples to oranges... "my twin turbo civic could whoop your mustang!". Well I would hope so! I would hope that 7k you dumped in your riceburner can enable it to run with, or outperform even, my bone stock GT. Check his mods out, if he has a bunch or high end goodies wait till you get some yourself. Then embarress him in fronnt of all his friends. Then talk trash whenever you see him and let him know there's no way a 4 banger can beat a V8. Then key his car and a mixture of liquid plumber and dog sh*t all over his new paint job late at night, then... ack, I'm getting carried away lol.
