Default Mostly stock AP2 vs g35 coupe and RSX TypeS

Had a couple high speed runs (simulated on a computer of course) with an RSX type S and g35 coupe last night. g35 appeared stock from the outside, all I could tell was it was a 6speed (wheels and brakes). The RSX has an exhaust at least, but I don't know if anything else

First race was against the RSX, probably gave him a little hope too, because I didnt even downshift for him, I was in 4th gear and well below VTEC. He gets the jump initially and then 2 seconds later when my VTEC kicked in I began to reel him in.

We merge onto the highway and line up for a proper roll with the G35. Three honks and we're all off. This time I'm right at VTEC so no waiting. I immediately start walking away from the RSX and inching on the G35. I think I had another run with the RSX where I proceeded to walk him easily again, just to let him know that he can't pull me like he may have hoped was the case given the 1st race (I was too kind for him then).

Got another run in with the G on the highway, a highspeed roll where I finally back off around 125 I think. At over 110 neither of us were pulling, it was pretty even at that point.

The G and I then exited the highway and caught a light together, and they wanted to go from a dig. Light turns green and we're off, I pull an easy 1.5 cars up through 3rd gear and then we shut down. To be fair, the g35 did have 3 guys in it, lol (shame on the driver for racing! even if this was a simulation )

To sum it up:

s2k 3 - rsx 0
s2k 3 - g35 0

nice. The rsx must have been stock. Rsx with intake/race headers/kpro/exhaust... will start to pull on astock ap2.

Nice run though!

there's a big diff between stock and all those mods you just listed. As I said he already had exhaust. Intake and header maybe I could do ok. With the kpro im sure it'd be putting down some power

I'm not completely stock anyway, I do have an intake and test pipe, as well as the AP1 ecu which extends my redline and gives me a nice bump in average power when racing.
