That is true, but he said that they were on the HIGHWAY when this happened. If they were already driving and tried to downshift, the RSX with shorter gearing and more power (and better traction) would "walk away" from him.
I think he needs to have his car tuned and redo his suspension (inc. wheels/tires) - then he should be solidly back in the 13's.
