I had a brief run-in with a type-s. This dude kept provoking me by speeding up and that deal where they slow back down to wait for you to take their bait. I wouldn't take his bait so he got behind me and started tailgating me like a dumb drunk.
Moments later, I'm pulling up to a stoplight and ofcourse he rapidly whips his car over to the opposing lane. I assumed it would be a pretty even run (the RSX Type S is supposed to be a 14.8-15.5 second car) and there wasn't much traffic or cops in sight so I went for it. I semi-bogged off the line but by the end of 3rd gear, it was close-he had a nose on me. I shifted to 4th and reeled him in rather quickly. By the time I had about a car and a half on him, he shut it down to the point where he could have easily made the next light but decided to stay behind.
My car is moderately modified (k&N drop-in filter, gutted cat, custom exhaust, MBC set @ approx. 12-13 p.s.i., and BOV) but I expected to lose.
I'm about 99.7% sure that the Acura was bone stock; they're not exactly sleds. That VTEC seemed pretty effective in the flesh.
Has anyone else raced one?
