S500 Vs Rsx-s

[money_22]

This guy at school is being cocky, he is a honda hater and claims his oversized boat can take any hond/acura on the road. He came up to me and started talking shit about my rsx-s, and now he wants to race for money, his car is completly stock same with mine. his is a 98 MB s500 VS 2003 rsx-s, do you guys think i can beat him????

Does he have the new S500? My uncle has a new S500 he just got 2 months ago. That car is HUGE and itws very heavy. But, its still pretty quik on the freeway, so maybe he might have a good chance. But then again, your RSX-S is a light weight sports car. I dont know exactly, but I think you have a good chance of taking him. But, I dont know for sure.

That "oversized boat" is a 315 hp 5.0 V8 beast with monster torque. Granted, he weighs around 1800-1900 lbs more than you- but you're still looking at a 0-60 of about 6 seconds for the Merc as compared to your average of 6.7 secs.

[lilslim]

Its not 315 HP , its only 300 HP. But yea it does do 60 in about 6 and on the free way that car is GONE. Plus it feels SO light, but thats because its a luxury car.

Out of curiousity, what was your source for those specs?

[mmont0]

He got it from Edmunds.com.

You should definitely take him up on the offer! The S500 weighs almost twice as much as the TypeS and it doesn't have twice the HP of the RSX, so let us know when you take his $$. I'd like to see his face when the entry level Acura takes his upscale, expensive Mercedes.

BTW, since he claims he can take any Honda/Acura on the road, I'd like to see him take the TL or NSX, for that matter.

Make sure not to race on the street. Take him to a track if you plan on racing him.

[cartoys21]

Yeah street racing is definitely retarded. I'm 16 and I can't tell you how many people I know have gotten MAJOR tickets or their licenses revoked.

[SiGNAL748]

I'd race him from a slow roll if i were you.

Despite the car's weight, its massive torque will launch him far enough ahead of you, so that you'd have a hard time closing the gap that you lost from the dig; That is unless you are one hell of a driver.

[RSX-S777]

Who won?

[money_22]

this is how it went down the race was 22km long from one end of the freeway to the other (this was at 3 am so very low trafic and no lights) off the line i got to a small lead and never let him catch up i beat him by a good 15-30 sec

man i smoooked that fool and right at the end his engine blew, i was talking 2 the guy and he hasnt done an oil change of over a yr and a half....wat a dumb ass... i think that is just his pu$$Y excuse...

And his car still runs ok?

[mason_RsX]

year and a half? thats a horrible way to treat any car. Glad you smoked him, u deserved to. Just wondering if he gave any other excuses for his loss?
