Default Evo 8 MR vs S/C'd 05 Rsx-S

So I'm heading home and I notice this pack of guys with hyper whites/HIDs coming up on me pretty quick. I hop around a turn and sure enough a Type S pulls up next to me at the next light asking if I want to run. They also happen to have a video camera handy. "OH GREAT" I think. I ask him what he's got and he says he's super charged. Greattt I'm soooo about to get walked. We pull over into a vacant lot to talk for a while and check out eachothers cars. He's put about 7k into his car. Really friendly guy and group of people. Anyhow he said hes pushing about 280whp which is at least 10 more than me and hes also about 300 lbs lighter. I'm like yah... I'm getting walked. He's like nahh you'll be fine. Yah sure. lol So we hop on the streets to do a few rolls. pretty much from about 50-100 or so. He put about 2 cars on me each time. We went from a dig last. I launched soooo damn well on him... then missed second

I fail. OH and then after that I realized my clutch is gone

Bye bye shitty stock mitsubishi clutch. Here I come ACT HDSS!

Good runs and great guy. I have about 600 invested into power mods. He has about 7k.. I dont think I did so bad? lol

It looks he pulled alot harder than 2 cars on you from the roll. But that was a great launch you had! That rsx is pretty quick, takes FI before they can ever do much.

Nice death

Get the TBE on and it will be a lot closer (did you get the check yet?)
I raced an sc rsx and beat it with just a flash. But the driver was an idiot, and the car needed tuned/set up properly.

Sorry to hear about the clutch

You did bad, your car costs $7k more J/K Noice death....I can only dream what $7k in mods will do for an Evo.

I need a supercharger for my rsx-s badly. That was pretty respectable for a Fwd. N/A for me though, For now anyways.
