barneyls is an unknown quantity at this point
Default This months issue of Sport Compact

Talk about dissapointment:
The new Acura RSX only pulls a 16.1 in the 1/4 mile, and Hasports Civic only pulls a 15.6. I have a 92 Acura Integra with an intake, short shifter, MSD, and a pretty hollow exhaust (basically not much down to the car) and I pull a 15.6 roasting the hell out of crappy tires. It'll do better as soon as I get some better tires and lauch a little better. Can someone explain this to me?

BTW The Acura RSX-->

Although it seems that those magazines are getting better, they're still mainly Honda focused. When they do have something else featured, it's usually a Focus or some bullshit. You hardly EVER see any Z's; sometimes an RX-7 but rarely. At least you can count on some Skylines being featured every few months. I only really check out Turbo mag now. Or MaxPower UK if I'm at Barnes and Nobles, but only cuz of the naked sluts posing.

Thats cuz Hondas Own....Honestly, Hondas are at the top of the import scene right now.



RSXs are running high 14 to 15 flats. If you read the article you see that it was over 110 degrees outside and very humid. Hondas are very temp sensitive
