Default Just a little question.....

RSX Premium, stock, is 155HP @ 6500RPM, 2.0 , with a 5 speed manual, and if it is an auto it will considerably less, like say around 140HP, right?

And my SX2.0, #10 Cam, probably 135-138HP @ 6800RPM ( i think thats the magic number ) , 5 speed manual, probably lighter by a few pounds.

Should be close , right?

horsepower doesnt drop with the different transmission..if it has an advertised 155 hp, then it has that no matter what, but it will have less wheel horsepower.

i think that if it is an automatic, you will beat him.

Well i can take ("take" meaning keep up..not win..but not lose either...lol) the Type-S which has "200HP" at the crank and my engine is rated stock at 150HP...so you should be able to give a nice challenge for him.

Racing on a track and on the street is a little different. The track is set up to allow you to hook up a little better. Then there is your reaction time, and you can pick up tenths of a second on your oppontent. Say you only can run a 15.00 and he runs a 14.7; thats three tenths and you beat him by four tenths on the tree you will beat him by one tenth. On the street he may leave before you and get you. Take it to a track to be fair to both of you.
