Default Beat a TSX

Just raced a 2004 Acura TSX.
We went from a roll at like 40mph.
I was already at like 3000rpms so when I stomped it I pulled like 2 lengths immediately, and keep on going to like 90 where I was about 5 lengths ahead.
Damn, I thought they were faster than that. [8D]

I have an '01 sixer with the below mods.
-Flowmaster Force II Catback
-Super 40's
-Steeda Tri-Ax Short Throw
-K2 Motors CAI
-SCT Superchips Performance Custom Eliminator Performance Chip
-93 Octane Tune

TSX's are slow. They have the K24 from the Accord but with what I imagine is a different head and spin up to 7200 or so and make 200 hp. My mom has an 03 Accord and it's "similar" to the TSX and that makes 160hp at 6500. So they basically increased the redline. I'm sure that 40 hp extra in just 700 rpms makes a huge difference

SCC ran one and I think they got a 15.7 or so. Considering the K24 Accord is supposed to run 16 flat that TSX is real sporty[&:]

Yah most of the TSXs I pull up to wont even try. I guess they just know there is no chance..but either way they have nice looking and most likely comfterable cars.

Are you guys serious? I thought they were faster. I knew I should have pulled up to that crazy driving one last night and stomped all over it.

Yeah it's only a four cylinder, it's the TL you have to watch out for, they're a little quicker.
