Well I raced one on dry and wet roads(I know I shouldn't be racing while it's raining but it was too tempting =P). This is when I had my h23a1 that was stock. He got me off the line by about 1 car(on dry roads) and then I just pulled on him after my wheels gripped. Got about 1 car on him in beginning of third and let off. He had exhaust(all I could see and tell). Right after I left to go home from street racing(it started to rain), I saw the same exact car .(I know, streetracing is bad =P). We got a light together. We take off(remember, it's raining) and he got about 2 cars on me. All I did was wheel hop and then finally got some traction. Well I started to pull again on him but had to let off when I was 1/2 cars in front cause we ran outta road. I let off about the top of 3rd gear going onto 4th. RS's will get you off the line but you should be able to take him when you get grip.

raced one at the track once. It launched like a bat out of hell due to the 4WD. By the end though, I ended up taking him by about a car length.

I raced one with an intake at the track. At the 60', we were identical (0.0X difference). I beat him by 2.3 seconds at the end.... and he said he didn't miss a shift...

my roomie has one, and he ran a 16.2 stock... which was faster then this guy ran.

a guy on campus has one with a fully built engine, stand alone engine managment, some crazy-ass tranny work, you could race that. . .

My friend pulls 15.8 with his 2.5RS stock.
