Modded MS3 vs. Accord 6spd

There seems to be a lot of chatter here and on MSF about the MS3/GTI debate. It just so happens I had some runs with one the other night so I thought I'd post it. His mods were I/test pipe & lightweight RPF1s. He had a 170lb passenger and I was alone. My mods/power are in my sig. First run was from 35-120 and the 2nd run was ~40 and he missed 5th around 95mph.

I apologize in advance for the sh1tty quality of the 2nd vid.

I'm.. impressed! Basically even!

Wondering why the MS3 didn't get a COBB flash first over the "testpipe" if he wanted more gains ... and shouldn't it be a downpipe?
 
If he had a DP/tune I would've gotten walked. I tried to find the least modded MS3 locally I could (besides stock) and he was it. If he had a tune he would've pulled me as well. Intake alone on that car gains like 15-20whp plus the test pipe deletes the secondary cat. He's probably making around 260/290 if I had to guess, especially on those wheels.
 
2 more vids...sorry they're upside down, Idk why. First vid I was a little late on the honks. The last vid I was told the MS3 was "heat soaked."

My favorite body style Accord. I wanted 6spd V6 coupe of this generation for a long time but could never find one. Keep it as long as you can.

No way in hell to the wheels. I would wager no higher than 240/260.

My friend had a 1st gen MS3 that had a downpipe, intake, tune, fmic. Dynoed over 300hp at the wheels. That car was a freak.
 
I agree with this guy^

260/290 at the tires is a mid to low 13 second car with 105+ traps...

It would put a hurtin on your car with or without a passenger.
I've seen intake only MS3's trap 103-104. I'm not saying its a 105 car, but I wouldn't be surprised if he pulled a 104. I've also stuck right with a SC 740li who trapped 106 from a 35 and pulled 2 cars from a 20. Doesn't make sense to me, but I'm not complaining. Also pulled an RSX-s trapping 102-103 consistently from 35-130 by 2 cars.

My buddies I/TBE/Upgraded Top Mount/Cobb custom tune e85/93 mix traps 104-105.

104-105? I've seen a few with the same mods trapping 109-110 making 320/340. I trapped 102 on a slightly humid day and he was right with me for the most part with a passenger. So idk.
