the gt has 260 hp stock with 300 foot pounds of torque i highly doubt that a v6 n/a mitsubishi is anywhere close to that

you'll be fine in the 01 against either car rsx's are high 14 second cars low 15 seconds if i remember right i almost raced one one night but cops were out everywhere but i wouldnt be worried i beat an S2000 on the interstate by 3 cars when i had similar mods to you so you'll be fine i would offer $20 for the race and im sure you'll come out $20 richer

My friend's RSX-S ran 13.9@103

He has headgaskets, KPRO, full exhaust(header too), and motor/transmission mounds. Oh, and a CAI. Those cars do wonders with a few little mods.

The GTS you should worry about an MBC or something

Both cars stock dont stand a chance.

I think it was those head gaskets that pushed it into the 13's.

That would be the GS-T that would have a MBC not the GTS. The GTS is a 210 hp V-6, the GS-T is a 210 hp turbo 4 cylinder
