Cars that are "racing modified" don't have X-boxes and 200 lbs of stereo equipment...

I see what you mean by the speakers, but the X-box, hell no man. I have seen so many fully racing modified cars that have PS2's and X-box's in em'! But, the painjob's not all that. I am a big fan of the original blue RSX color though!

That RSX looks sweet! I don't see anything wrong with it. Nice decals, nice rims, amazing custom interior, and it's racing modified! What more do you need?
Boost.

I think he meant real race cars, not street cars that people get a thrill out of once in a while... IMHO, the car looks nice, but it doesn't have enough 'go' to back up the 'show'. Definitely a ricer's dream, though.

Of course. With race cars, it's a whole different deal!

In case everyone didn't fully grasp my sarcastic response... My point was that the owner of this car did not add the performance mods to make the car faster, he added the performance mods for the sake of doing so. Someone who was genuinely interested in performance will seek to reduce weight, not increase it with frivolous show-car goodies. This car will never see a track in its' life, at least not in its current form.

The car probably has less miles than your oldest pair of sneakers. It's a show car. It's not built to go fast, it's built to look at. One of the most complete show cars I've seen in person.

I concur with Billy and hobie, this is a show car, not performance oriented..

Check the mods (again):
ENGINE

• MAGNA FLOW- Cat Back / all Stainless steel Dual Exhaust System
• AEM - Cold Air Intake
• THERMAL FLEX - Carbon Fibre Hoses
• NITROUS EXPRESS - Direct Port Nitrous
• OPTIMA - Gel Cell Battery
• DC Sports - Oil cap & Upper Strut Bars

WHEELS - KONIG WHEELS

• 2 Piece Tantrum 19” X 8.5 “ Color Matched By Wings West Crew

TIRES

• TOYO TIRES - 235 / 35 / ZR19” Proxes T1-S

BRAKES

• WILWOOD BRAKES - Front Big Brake Upgrade DRilled
Rear Drilled Slotted Rotors

SUSPENSION

• EIBACH - Pro Kit 1” Drop
The only thing that standout in the Engine area is Nitrous (OR NAWWWWZZ ) and the only suspension mod is the Eibach springs....and why Wilwood brake (overkill)? The 19" wheel should be heavy enough to stop the car ....anyhow, not my taste...again, nothing personal
