Yeah, I saw people saying that the rsx will match an sti topend. I just laughed and posted that was the worst launch I have ever seen from an STI.

If it would match an STI topend the sti would have never caught it.

IMO it looks like a white wrx with gold wheels. Note the lack of rear window spoiler.

If it was a wrx I think he ran a 14.4 which isn't to bad.

When you run at the track you don't have to go right when the light turns green unless you are racing the person in the other lane. If you are racing the clock you can sit there all day and the clock wont start until you go. At least that is how it is on Wednesday nights at Bandi. I have seen Typhoons sit and let Hondas get a 1/4 of the way down the track and the go and still beat them.
