i agree that the spec-V is a POS i have beeten like 2. Like the BMW owners people in Spec-V's think they are the s*** to. i also raced a 04 Mustang GT he won but it was cool because he only beet me by like a car leingth up to 65 and GT's 0-60 is in the 5.4 range.

I own a 3s and had a 2000GT (same motor as 04). The difference in a 1/4 is roughly 2-3 seconds, which by 65 is probaby atleast a seconds difference which would be 10 or so car links at minimum. Good job on it being close but my old 96 6 banger stang would have been farther ahead than 1 car link at 65. If you rewrite it saying it was a v6 convertible automatic with 2 really fat people in the car i will believe it. I love my 3S but I think you had to have raced a rebadged v6 automatic or he wasnt racing.

for the racing RSX-s, the motor doesn't make any power until ~6000rpm, it's as weak as a day old lamb below that. If the driver doesn't shift near redline, he's got squat. Same thing with most Honda motors, power/torque peak in the statosphere. Our 2.3L 3s have fairly good grunt low and midrange, we run out of breath near redline though.
I have an auto, so I'm short a gear, but stoplight to stoplight the 3 is fairly quick. If you get any of the "competition" in the twisties, forget it the 3 can hold higher speed in the corners (mag tested at ~.86g, with real good tires you could get at or better than .90g+) and can power out better, the Honda powered cars need to work hard at the same thing.

I love reading these racing threads. Especially one like this where a 3s (160hp) beats an RSX-S (200hp, 210hp for '05). I always wonder how you know the other car is actually "racing"? Did you ask him to race? Did you stop afterwards and ask him if he was racing? Probably not.
The way I see it the only way a 3 will beat an RSX-S is that,
1. The RSX-S wasn't racing you.
2. The RSX-S wasn't running WOT (which means he wasn't racing you).
3. The RSX-S had a really, really bad driver. Which means if given equal driving skills, the 3 loses.
Even with a bad driver it wouldn't make any sense that a 3 could beat an RSX-S (automatic or not).
Eh, whatever, if you feel that that was a good kill then congrats. It's all about how it makes you feel right? Just venting a little because it's Friday and I want to get out of here.

With all do respect; I this is dyno racing, if you think about there is a million ways an RSX-S can be racing a 3 and lose, watch professional drag racing you will see a lot of cars that are faster and end up losing for some reason or another, any kind of racing this is true of watch NASCAR or IRL, and a lot of time the fastest car of the day winds up in 3rd place this is racing and its the human element that counts even out in the streets, I was racing an cameo ss and got ahead how? he was missing his 2nd gear, I was raced a prelude si and won how? new driver and a faulty vetch, mechanical problems driver errors, its possible so dont be so quick to scream BS because its not supposed to happen
now if someone come out and says the Mazda 3 is faster than a Cameron SS thats problem BS if its stock, but if a Mazda 3 beats a MSP ask how first before ranting about thats complete BS

When i raced my cousin in his RSX-s we stopped in the middle of the road and lined up and raced. like someone said before the 3 has way better low end torque and the rsx makes all its power near redline.

Sentra Spec-V? Doubtful. With minor bolt ons they run 14's. Obviously the driver was horrible. (Unless your boosted)

B13 sentra's are great, if the "jspec" motor your referring to is the bluebird SR20DET, then yes, it can take 22lbs.
