You're fooled.

The 0-60 is poor since there is no low end torque, nor the ability to hook it up anyway with the wheel hop.

The real speed comes on about 30 miles an hour ince you reach 3500 rpm in second.

Is the USDM TSX the same performance as the Euro and Jap Accord?

Yes.

In addition, the Euro and JDM Accord have three engine choices, 2.0, 2.4, and super 2.0 (Euro-R)

Ours is obviously the equivalent of a 2.4 Executive Saloon in England with the optional wheels (see the Tourer/Wagon).

I don't even see the point of measuring the 1/4 mile time of anything in the TSX category. Track time maybe (like the Top Gear show).

to the nth degree. it's not a drag strip kind of car, but based on recent Speed World Challenge performances, it's capable of great track performance.

part of the problem is the drive-by-wire technology which sometimes suppresses the throttle, BUT we will see what happens once the Hondata reflash comes on the market.
