Ok i raced a guy with a rsx type s that had an exhaust intake and carbon fiber hood, and beat him now he want to run for money and i found out he got a 50-75 shot of nitrous. Do you guys think i will be able to take him, his a preatty good driver. Ill have a cutout by the time i race him, and mods on my sig.

well how badly did u beat him the first time is one question....my guess is that u trashed him pretty hard. anyway, if he has nothing in the sense of drag radials or a more sticky tire, that nitrous is gonna def overcome the traction of his tires. Kid I knew put a 75 shot on his car and cant hook for his life in first or second gear when it hits.

Go from a stop and watch him smoke his tires as u pull away.

With your mods, even saying he does hook from a dead stop... the torque generated by the LT1 will leave him crying breathless... Bet him everything in his pockets :cool:

Was he using the nitrous the first time? How bad did you beat him? If it is more than 3 to 5 cars I would take his money.

He's trying to butter you up and take your money. Run N/A first then challenge someone and spray them. I'd say there's a good chance he knows what he's doing, and probably will even be running a higher shot than that. If it were me, to protect my money and make him cry like a baby- I'd put the spray on my car too if you can find a kit.

the rsx type s only have a 160 hp stock so depending on what he has done to his car, which only sounds like NOS, even if he hits it with a 100 shot, you should still be able to kill him, even with a stock lt1 they push 320 hp.

How much money is he asking to put down???

The type S has 200 hp, base rsx is 160.

since when did LT1's have 320 hp. Yeah if you didn't dominate him N/A he might be trying to hustle you.

200+75 shot = 275 which is base LT1 power, now do the 15% loss and what not and they will come out to be the same power, the RSX weighs less, but the LT1 makes far more torque. It could go either way I suppose, I think the launch and shifting would be the reason for a win here.
