The SS non supercharged is like 170hp or something right? I raced a supercharged one and while he was definitely fast, I felt like I could have won... he started before me and I was playing catch up, I was gaining on him (slowly) when we ran outta room.
The Type-S I have no trouble believing. I've been up against 2 so far and was disappointed. Either the drivers weren't the best, or the car is a letdown. Maybe because we didn't get too high in speed... I dunno.
I've ridden in my friends H22A a buncha times (it's in a 94 civic 2 door shell) and I know there is no way I could do anything to him at all. He'd pull on me hard from a dig all the way up to the top. Hell he runs high 12's & low 13's depending on tires.
