Default S2k vs. RSX-S

This was a couple months ago.I was cruising down the street minding my own business on my way to get some sour cream from the grocery store when this Rsx-s pulls up next to me and starts accelerating and slowing down for a couple of streets,speeding the whole time.I recognize this guy and his car.He had tried to race me a couple weeks before that when I was coming home from the gym.I ignored him that day and I guess he probably had never raced an s2k and wanted to see how he would fare against one,since theirs only a few around town. This douchebag follows me for blocks,until I turn into the shopping center and he keeps going straight.I go into the grocery store,come out 20 minutes later,and leave.As I'm waiting to turn left back onto the street,guess who's behind me?The same guy,we turn left and were both side-by-side at the light,all alone.The light turns green and we both take off normal,he's about one car ahead,when he goes Wot and I drop it into first at 20mph and do the same.I gain on him and by the next light had a car on him.You guys should have seen his face as my car passed his,it looked like that scene in fast and furious where the guy in the white jetta loses to an s2k in the movie.He did the ricer fly-by.From what I saw he had a 3in. Exhaust and Sparco seats.All I had back then was a AEM V2 intake,Apexi WS-2 exhaust system.Does that sound about right?I thought it would have been closer.I really don't race,but that guy was asking for it,good thing he didn't have that s2k killer combo with full bolt-ons and tune.

bro, a rsx-s with i/e/h Kpro/tune vs stock s2k should be a good race.

I had a RSX. bolts and tune and not once lost to a stock or bolt s2k (havent raced a tuned one though). Well I did have stage 4 clutch and 8lbs flywhell so its a little more than bolt ons. They were all close so its really a drivers race. Even though I still take the s2k anyday.
