1st Gen vs. 2nd Gen

wonder why no one ever thought of this topic. just wondering how well we can keep up with our 2nd gen brothers. granted they have a 3.2L engine and ours are either 2.5 and 3.2, how do our times compare? maybe we should ask the people on the 2nd gen forum to race us. hehe that'd be interesting.

i also love the fact that our cars are unique. no one out there has our cars. that's the best part cause people rarely see our cars.

I think 1st gen TLs would have been pretty quick if they were offered with MT OR better auto trans. Since 2.5TL had firmer suspentions than 3.2TL It'd have been awesome if Acura offered 2.5TL with stick and sport package..sort of like the first generation Inspire Type-S that was sold in Japan (190hp)

.

IMO the gearing ratio in 2.5TL is...weird It's just not getting the most out of the engine. I don't know about 3.2TLs though.

Same here Not alot of people know that Honda used to make 5 cylinder engines.

I like the fact that our cars where made in Japan. The production is suppose to be more tighter.
