Spoilers..
That Honda is one of the quickest Hondas in the world. She did really well against him, considering she isn't even close to being one of the quickest dsms. Lal. I think she would had had a better chance with a t3 turbo.
But if the Honda had a better first couple gears, sge would have not stood a chance.
I am only 4 episodes in, that Honda is bad ass.
