RE: just one question
Yeah, I was gonna say that's no Neon. And I'm sorry but I doubt your RSX can keep up with a SRT/4.
A 2004 RSX has 160Hp at 6500 rpm and has 141 ft. lbs of torque at 141 lb.-ft. @ 4000 rpm. A 2004 RSX Type-S has 200 HP at 7400 rpm and 142 ft. lbs of torque at 6000 rpm. The curb weight of the RSX with an MTX weighs 2721 lbs, and the RSX Type-S weighs 2778 lbs.
A 2004 SRT/4 has 230hp at 5300 RPM and 250 ft. lbs. of Torque at 2200 RPM and has a curb weight of 2,870 lbs.
Thats a difference of 141 lbs for the RSX, 98 lbs for the RSX Type-S. So it's not much heavier than both of those cars.
However, from the pics of your car it appears to me like you've got a few extra hundred pounds of stuff in that car of yours.
And again, these are specs for 2004 model cars, I'm not sure what year you have so the number are probably different. But this should give an idea at least. You could probably keep up with an SRT if the driver was driving like a pansy.

Definately will work, but you can do it one cheaper too. When the SRT first came out and many couldn't wait, they junked out the Dodge Avengers for their 2.4L 4-cylinder which is a definate fit with a buldge hood.. Throw in a supercharger or turbo from Howell Automotive's website and you a got yourself a Gen.1 pocket rocket that'll trade rubber with the new SRT any day!

Dude, why does your grammer swing from "hood to cracker" all the time? Are you having an identity crisis? First it was IceFreaK and now this....to put it in your former self's terms, "wat 'sup?"
