Default acura tsx vs lt1 Z

i was going down the road the other day, when an asian kid in an acura tsx pulled up beside me. i tried to get him to go for it but he didnt. so i went full throttle and let off and he pulled back up. We didnt race but ends up we have mutual friends, and he wants to race. His car is a 6 speed, and im sure its decently fast, but im gonna try to put a little $ on it, from a dead stop im pretty sure ill win

200hp fwd sedan yes, heavy no. The TL only weight right at 3500 pounbs, the TSX is a smaller and lighter version.

Like 32xxlbs I think.. .my G6 was 3430lbs with 201hp/222trq and my GFs 96 A4 2:73 car used to smoke it.

The Acura has like 200hp and 166trq.

Won't be a problem for you.

I actually own an Acura TSX. You shouldn't have a problem. It's not even close to being as fast as a stock LT1. It's a slow bastard, but nice and very comfortable to drive in and gives me 28-29mpg

The TSX actually has something more like 170hp and 155tq at the wheels. Its really apples compared to oranges
