Never have got lined up with one of those but, I've raced a CL type S and smoked it by about 3-4 lengths up to 90 or so. They're supposed to run high 14s cars from what I've read.

How quick are the RSX-S supposed to be?

So stock they run low 14s or so? If I ever run into one I'll try to get them to go and see what happens, I don't think they'll get too far away.

BTW, I've had a run in with a BMW Z4 before which I guess are supposed to run low 14s also. Here was the outcome of that.

the rsx type s's are pretty quick... if its a good driver there good for mid 14's stock but with a crappy driver you could end up in the 15's or higher. i have never raced one, but know people who have.
