The World's Fastest Acrua - December 2008 Shakedown
Check out the world's fastest Acura and a pretty quick CRXThe World's Fastest Acura, And A Pretty Quick CRX
Hondata co-owner Doug MacMillan and wife Miriam set a total of five land speed records at last August's Bonneville salt flats' Speed Week in Utah. It began with a G/BGCC class record of 221.652 mph in the company's 2.0-liter RSX running twin Rotrex superchargers, installed by KraftWerks. Doug also went on to take the G/BGALT record at 208.646 mph. But the highlight was the G/BFCC record, originally set at an impressive 226 mph in 1990 that Doug bettered at 234 mph thanks to the 600hp, supercharged K20A. The record wasn't easy though. The RSX went into a spin after the fifth mile during qualifying, flat-spotting the tires. The team only had two spares so they swapped the 25-inch tires out back to the front and put the spare 26-inch tires on the rear. Of course, all of this changed the RSX's gearing, which meant the RSX needed more power. Although the engine had yet to be tuned with nitrous, the tanks were turned on and the RSX was dialed in with the additional 100 hp. And that's how you become the world's fastest Acura.
