not only the TC... I'm sure he just might not have been trying... or was a bad racer...
that autostick is EXTREMELY efficient ... actually it should be FASTER then the manual shifting wise if you are shifting properly with the autostick...
I destroyed a RX8 about a month ago... why? he had no idea what he was doing... I've pulled away from a few mustang's... blew a GTI turbo outta the water.... just know what your doing ... use a little Brian O'Conner School of Driving (Anyone catch that plug?) and that is all you will need....
on top of that by the way WM has been doing his test... looks like his car would punish your RSX ... he beats a lot bigger cars on the race track then that... so I will trust a SCCA driver that the Xfire has more then enough potential to stomp on a lot of "ricers"....
