Default My 3 point slow fails me again.

Alright, I'm driving home from work again like I always am when I have one of these stories. I see some blue hids coming up behind me. I'm cruising at 80 so I downshift twice to 4th (I only downshifted once against the G35 and got roasted so thought I'd try 4th this time). I still can't tell what kind of car it is but I keep my foot planted. He was about 1 car length behind me and neither one of us was pulling up until about 100 mph. Well of course it passes me probably 10-20 mph faster than me and I'm at 110. It's an RSX type S with a really good sounding exhaust. I didn't know these cars were that quick? WTF??? I'm trading my **** in that's the last straw!

Default It's not really fast, but it is faster that the 3.0.

RSX Type S:

Top speed : 145 mph
0-60 mph : 6.7 sec.('02-'04), 6.5 sec.('05)
0-? mile : 15.2 sec @ 92.7 mph('02-'04)

With an exhaust/intake it'll be faster.

Default Dude if you are going to continue to race on the roads like this you had better

trade you 3.slow in for something that weighs much less and has some more zing to it or you are going to get toasted every time.

Default It's not that the 3 fails you...It's just that yer expectations are unachievable.It's like asking...

Heidi Klum to go ****...
You know the outcome even before you pop the question (hit the gas pedal).

Default it may be your brain that is failing

you car weighs almost 1000lbs and you only have 10 more hp. You said the car had a nice sounding exhaust so it was a modified car, how much? Who knows but it'll be faster than your car any day of the week.
