is your car standard or auto if its standad launch it at like 2,300 rpm and don't hit traction control you lose time by hitting it make sure your traciton control is off and not on!!!, and if you do hit traction control don't let off just hold it to the floor power will come back. You should have no problem in my opinion i can drive my cross. but when i was stock i beat s2000 rx-8 don't think rsx would have been a problem. good luck if he will go from five mile an hour roll and be in first and just go that way you don't have to worry about traction control but remember good driver should be able to launch rear wheel drive car and its harder to get traction with front wheel drive. remember stay away from the traciton control though i used to launch to the floor and drop the clutch but thats slower at the track than slipping clutch around 2,500 and staying away from the gay trac. control. peace.
