I thought this was an odd comparo, untill I actually watched the video. The accord they use is actually the type-r, which is lighter and has a smaller displacement yet higher hp engine than our tsx. Still a good video to show the chassis potential this car has. another 20-40 hp and some more aggressive suspension and brakes and the TSX can be turned into a great track car.

Brad

Would you or someone please summarize the results of the comparison? I have only 56K dial-up.

Best motoring vids always are. But they are usually worth it

Yui

I thought you'd typo'd when you said the IS200, but I see... hehehe it got raped =P The Altezza really does need 6 cylinders...

There is nothing to summerize really. The video is mostly about the new rx-8 and is entirely in japanese so I have no clue what they are saying. The accord in the video is the type-r version that is only available in japan. Basically they take an is200, 350z, rx-8 , and accord type-r and race them on a track. Its a good track video with lots of shots inside the cars and split screens to the tach. The accord is actually leading for a while, but ends up in 3rd.

i don't know how the japanese got the idea that the Accord type r and IS200 are competitors of the 350z and rx8.
that accord looks badass. i want those rims.

It was a really close one between the Z33 and RX8.
Man... You gotta love the Phase white Euro R... Make me wonder when Honda will eventually bring over the Type Rs.

Hey...how about the chick at the beggining. And was I seeing things are did they put up her "stats" just like they did for the cars?

Sir Henry

The chick actually grew up in Seattle (according to the Chinese subtitles in the vid)
And it looks to me that the RX-8 is equipped with an aftermarket turbo in there....

AdamC

None of those 4 cars are stock.
Otherwise, the 350Z maybe the clear winner.
