I've beaten Honda Accords, Civics, especially the hatchback Civics, and the other car I raced was against a friend of mine. I don't really know how fixed up they are, but they all had exhaust at least. I don't usually participate in races, espeically these ones I've mentioned being on the streets. All of them were from stop lights, except for my friend and a couple of guys sitting in their hatchback Civic. My friend had a VW Jetta I raced against. I gained on him pretty quick after he got an early launch. That bastard. I pulled so hard in the first two gears redlining as I go, I could see him looking back at me when I started to pass him, lol. I ended up beating him by half a car length. Another time was with my other friend in his Acura RSX (not Type S) on the freeway. We were using our cell phone with a headset and trying to sync a race side by side on the fly but it got too dangerous. Too many cars changing lanes and not a clear straightaway. I know I can smoke him though. If that was a Type S, I would've been a close race or he could have beaten me if I screwed up somewhere or had a misshift.
