Default killed a del sol

just wanted to a record a routine kill
driving down new henderson in columbus ohio when a modded(exhaust, wheels,susp., i assume intake?header, no turboect.) does a mini-rice bye.

I follow around 70 mph and take a hard right down olentangy. The del sol is trying hard, i can hear it, anyways, i practically draft him around the corner, drop it to 1 st and kick out the rear on my way to a 3 gear redline ending up around 110 mph in fourth with the del sol at least 10 cars back. (His taillights were getting dim). Anyways he passes after I slow down to 60 without acknowledgement. He kept up for the first 20 feet then the vtec was too much.

I would rather have admiration and respect for the s2k from other honda drivers, however, there's something about everyone wanting to race her.
Anyways another easy kill. I hope next time the comp. is more worthy. I like close ones

HEY DON'T BE INSULTING THE SOL!!!!!!!!!!!! My guess would be that it was most likely the S model... not sure why people even bother with those... did you hear it go VTEC? stooks are fast, and they will rape a sol, but only the S would lose like that

we are very excited about our new coach, j tressel. Seems like a great motivator, has class, and understands you need to win at ohio state. Interestingly enough, tressel hired a new strength coach with rather unorthodox training methods- guys are pushing trucks around ohio stadium and moving large tractor tires in the indoor training facility. Its kind of like the ESPN Met-Rx challenges.
Anyways, catch a glimpse of the newly renovated stadium, we should now be around 105,000+. If you ever have a chance make it to a game, I was on the team in 93 as a backup, backup placekicker and it is awesome.

A friend of mine has a Del Sol. Charcoal w/ buddy club kit and it is pretty quick. B16A1, JDM Integra Type R Transmission with LSD, 6 PUCK SPRUNG RPS TURBO CLUTCH WITH CARBON CLAW, AEM COLD AIR INTAKE, AEM POWER PULLIES, TSUDO PREDATOR EXHAUST, RED VALVE COVER...Vtecvoodoo should recognize this sol

So when you say B16A1, do you mean Generation 1? cuz don't USDM Del Sol Vtec models come with the USDM b16A3?

I'm just wondering since the JDM is B16A gen 1 is the equivalent to the USDM B16A3. I think?

Yup, I know that car.

I had 2 sisters that went to OSU back in the late 80`s. I`ll catch an OSU game when they make it to the Rose Bowl =). How are the B-Ball recruits?
