Spike TV will re-air the TSX comparison test with the 2.5GT, S40, and A4. It is on again at 12:30 Eastern. Just an hour away, sorry about the late notice. Just a heads up if anyone is interested.

 

sweet!! thanks for the heads up

 

ha, what luck i just turned this thing n they just started it

 

not fair!!!!! why doesnt the TSX have a damn turbo! every one of them are four bangers with turbos, even the audi....and thats gots 30 less hp than we do! someones gotta start pushing acura.

 

Yeah, but we're soon going to have it as an aftermarket option.

 

Just caught it - thanks for the heads up!

Although the TSX doesn't have a turbo and has one of the lowest torque ratings out of the competitors, it still manages to come in first place amongst a group of discerning drivers who place high emphasis on the fun to drive factor. In this case I think it's safe to say that the current package is already very well balanced, and while a turbo might be desirable, it's hardly a necessity given the current state of the competition.

 

Thanks for the heads up.

 

1st place!!! Nice job

 

why wouldnt u want to go faster??? i guess its the reason why i didnt go for a 6 cyc, but who knows

 

missed it

 

It just comes down to the law of diminishing returns. The TSX would probably be adequate for 80-90% of my driving requirements, and I wouldn't miss the other 10-20% enough to pony up the few extra g's to get a 6-cylinder.

 

nicely said

 

Are turbos any more reliable than they used to be?

I am biased against turbos, although my bias comes from 10 years ago at least.

 

if you have two cars with equal hp, one with a turbo, one without, i would much rather have the one without the turbo. Just wait a year or two and they will have a turbo kit/supercharger for the tsx. Honda engines have the biggest aftermarket support of any engines.

 

this would be interesting to hear... i would think they are, mostly cuz alota companys are using them stock, i think the killer comes in when theyre run at higher psi and the parts that are associcated with it (anything in the engine i would think) that cant handle the added power would get ruined

 

TSX first again!
