In this link they only had one picture and no details on Ron's car, but like 15 of that red Honda. |
Not really any nut swinging per say, the author of that article was the red civic owners good friend, many cars brought their own media friends to the event, so you can see bias in most of the article towards certain cars. Wes from MotoIQ loved our car, in fact most of the pictures he took were of the "stockness" of the car, honesty no one at the event had any idea what we brought as it "did" look stock on the outside.
There are a ton of modifications done to the RS that are not quite apparent to the naked eye. Ron's setup is about balance and he did an awesome job at that. Car weights in at 3085 lbs with driver and a full tank of gas. The ohlins and springs were custom tailored for the continental tires since John Mueller has done this event before so he really set us up. The engine is stock longblock with a fp green HTA, the exhaust system was so quiet that we were the lowest db at the event. We were amazed it made 500/500 on the UMS dyno as the plan was to at least make 450/450 with a cat in place.
On the track the car was extremely easy to drive and was soo fast it made the TOP 10 FTD list on the track during that day. (Yes against cars with race slicks). I am extremely proud of what RSMOTORS team was able to bring to the table, hence why I shared the teaser.
