Default AP2 vs DC5

I was always told that RSX type-S's would walk alover the S2000. Fridaynight I ran into a white RSX-S and got my chance to prove it wrong. I was a little worried. They are a little lighter and that K20 is a good performer. Our first run was from a stop at the light. I took him off the line and pulled every gear until I got to 4th (about 100mph). Then we did the rolling from about 20mph. I'm a slow starter so he got the jump about 1-2 car lenghts but my 3'rd was so good it pulled up square with him and my 4th pulled me right by him. By the time we stopped I was 2-3 cars in front of him.

It was late and we got run about 4 times with the same results. I'm liking my ALL STOCK 06 more and more. It's been proving to be faster than what people give it credit for.

What always cracks me up is that people compare moderately to heavily modified Type S's to stock S2000's. Sure the K series can be fast, but give the S2000 full bolt ons and gears and it will walk all over the RSX.

Nice. Way to represent... I have killed a few type S RSX's as well, it is always a good feeling because they want to think that they are SO fast...

Those bad boys react beautifully to bolt-ons. I would ask what they have b4 running.
