well, my best friend bought RSX-S (preveusly he drove Civic SiR b16A). So now we got in a talk who would win - my Celica with Turbo kit or RSX-S?? What do you think guys... Im planing to run about 160-180 hp with my Celi. His RSX MAY BE still stock, maybe some basic mods (CAI, Exhaust and etc)...
So, i was just thinking, maybe i should ask you turbo guys who raced the Trex, maybe you will give some sugestions... Thanks.. P.S. Race will be on 1/4 mile road.

Grrr... I just gotta keep explaining shiat to people... doesn't work that way... pointless argument... on and on. The RSX-S's torque does NOT work against him. Why not? It's all in the gearing. The tranny will be geared to utilize the horsepower... and less of the torque. How? geared really short. In comparison... the 7AFTE tranny will not be geared to best utilize the torque cause it was not designed for that powerband... It'll be as best you can get... but i'll bet slightly taller gearing will get better acceleration out of a turbo 7AFE. Honda's short gearing will almost always make it a Horsepower race. Just consider... if torque meant so much, wouldn't a Tractor or something be able walk all over high Horsepower cars? it's all in the gearing... -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl...
