For all of you thinking us Evo lovers think the Evo is gods gift to road racers completely missed "MY" point in my posts. I even said it was irrelevant as to whom won the race. Any car can be made to beat any car. I'm not at all concerned about the Evo winning or losing. If it was me I would have won but that's beside the point. 
My point is that the video doesn't look legit. Why are the dash lights in the Evo white looking? Was the camera filming in black & white? It wasn't nightshot mode cuz it would be green. The truck passed by slowly. If you think that looks fast get your eyes checked. I can pass someone doing 60mph while I'm at 80 mph and pass them faster than that. Now all that being said I give those of you credit, yes film does make things look slower. Without a doubt it always looks slower on film but this film looks like it's a lot slower. In any case it's not the end of the world. It may be a real video it may not. Don't really care. If you don't expect to get this type of reaction don't post a video of an Evo losing on APril 1st homez. You make yourself look bad.

did ANYONE even look at the comparison picture I posted??? go back to the first thread and compair the video picture on the right to the EVO cluster on the left. its plain as day to see how fast they were going.
Also, AbusiveWombat makes a very good point.
btw... why in the HELL would someone goto all the trouble to spoof the speed, and the rpms on the EVO cluster??

fellas, I can teach a monkey how to race from a roll......What driving skills are you guys talking about....Evo got beat period...I'm a big Evo fan....But let's face it, stock it's not that great on the highway....It's only trapping 100 (maybe 101) @ best stock....It's not that hard to believe...it doesn't matter who the driver there are no bad drivers on the highway....It's not hard to step on the gas.....If it was on the track from a stop...then i'll say whack *** driver....
EVO lost because it was stock....with a boost controller and 3 inch tb exhaust...then let's say bye bye to everyone else....(well, not everyone) but bye bye to many cars...
$1000 -> this car will be in 12's....my cousin's gsx with a 16g did 12's with basic bolt on's
Peace out fellas....it's okay accept it...EVO lost...(cuz it's stock)

**** reading all this ****. My question. Any internal upgrades done on that RSX? If not then there's no way in hell that the RSX is gettin passed 155. The S's top speed is 150. That guy in the Evo should be pissed instead of laughing if he gots spanked by an RSX.

What's hard to beleive is this video.......the evo is really fierce up to 60 or 70 so unless they were already going that fast and started the race, the evo would have been pretty far ahead...that would mean the RSX is not only fast enough to beat the evo, but fast enough to gain all that distance lost before 70 and then pass.
Not only that.......i dont know many hondas that can go past 150
