Lexus or Die Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 So i've heard of this guy with a 2002 Acua RSX-S, hes always raccing people and winning. I dont think he has any modifications to his car. This past week hes been challenging me to race him, i wanna beat him really badly and show him lexus is best. Do you think my 1992 sc400 has any chance against a 2002 rsx-s?

DeftonesLexus Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 Even though I would like to hear that a lexus beat that acura, I dont think you can beat him because his car is lighter, and its quicker too especially if he has the 6 speed manual. Just remember though, the SC has more class than that car :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southernsc300 Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 not with a 92. sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soarer479 Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 the rsx-s really isnt that fast but if you have nothing done to ur car then you might lose i think it would be a good race but atleast u know u have him in top speed i think u should race him id like to hear about the results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bean_8044 Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 just race with four people in each car and you might beat him then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzz30 Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 doesnt honda claim 0-60 in like 6 seconds? maybe with a gs430 but not the sc. try and start the race at 60mph then you will definitely take him. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theodore Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 i raced an rsx with my acura 3.5 slight work done on the highway. we were neck and neck up until 120. that car can keep up. but then again with a v8 on the highway u give out more power.

BlackSC4 Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 go race him, have a good start and ul EAT that rsx type-s. i will vouch for it, i have both. for some reasons those rsx's aren't as fast as the magazines rates it. i actaully have a buddy that dropped the japanese rsx type-r motor in his rsx. now THAT you will not have one chance. he had a racing ecu and exhaust too. he smoked me real good, i would say that is a 14.00 second car.

Lexus or Die Posted June 14, 2004 Author Share Posted June 14, 2004 a few web sites claim the acura rsx-s does 0-60 in 6.8 and i can do it in 6.9, if i get a cold air intake from injen do you think i could kill him off the line and top speed?

BlackSC4 Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 if you are sure his car is stock, you can take out the resonators for your exhaust ($40), ground your engine ($20), take out the spare tire (free), make a bfi ($10), and i guarantee you'll take him. but him being a 6-spd, you wouldnt want to race more than a quarter mile.

soarer479 Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 ya you should deff take out as much weight as possible that will help u if you race off the line but u should have him in top speed no matter what Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theodore Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 dont forget also race with a 1/4 of a tank or less. dont have a full tank, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexus or Die Posted June 15, 2004 Author Share Posted June 15, 2004 what is the exact top speed of the 92 sc400? i hear 149 a lot, does it have a limiter on it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexussc400Sugarland Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 HELLS NO you have no chance against that Grand Prix Dont waste the GAS NO CHANCE NONE WHAT SO EVER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexxxed Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 its only a v6 though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzz30 Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 yea but 300hp to the wheels against a bit over 200 to the wheels is a big big difference. and if he is doing 12s then you definitely have no chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexussc400Sugarland Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 the sc400 does 15.9 a supercharged v6 is more powerful for the reason that it has the horsepower with out the weight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikee72 Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 its only a v6 though I can't believe in this day and age of information people still say things like this. My "other" car has half the displacement and half the cylinders of my SC, yet still manages to be ~3 seconds quicker 0-60 than my SC. Using the number of cylinders as the only way to judge a car's speed will get you beat in a hurry. Go find yourself a lowly 6-cylinder 996TT to race.

Theodore Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Its all about the design the WRX the evolution are 4 cylinders and there pushing 300 hp, the STI does 0-60 in 4.2. Its not the size of the engine its the weight of the car and the work done to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not the size of the engine its the weight of the car and the work done to it Yeah, it cracks me up that just people seem to think that anything with 8 cylinders is fast. It reminds me of why I always had little respect for V8 owners before I bought my SC. For every 11-second car, there was ten 15-second idiots blabbing about how fast they were. I love me SC, but the fact is, it's a slow !Removed! that isn't going to get much faster without cubic dollars. It's a big, heavy, comfortable cruiser that was never meant to compete with sport compacts or muscle cars. I could care less if someone has a faster Honda, since I didn't buy this car to go fast in. The attitude of "I own a V8, therefore I'm fast" is going to get you laughed at by many a' four-banger, so I'd suggest dropping that attitude or start reaching deep into your wallet.
