heel/toe is my specialty
I have been trying to see if any of my friends will join me for some time at mid-ohio this summer or perhaps early fall. SO far no go. The acura performance driving school prices are quite a bit of money - I had no idea they were as much as they are. I would love to go though if I had someone to tag along.

I'm a pretty avid open track / HPDE guy. When I first got the TSX, I took it out about 5 times. Posted here a few times, but I don't think the pictures/videos work anymore.

I've since moved onto an SRT-4 as my track car. I still have the TSX, but don't take it to the track anymore. SRT-4 is much faster and cheaper, so no worries about banging it up on the track.
In comparison to the TSX, the TSX has much better steering feel and balance. The SRT-4 is much more numb, even with the track suspension I have. Of course, the TSX lacks the power and brakes, but no matter...
Anyway, I don't know where you are, but if you're in Northern california you can find me in HPDE4 or other clubs' open passing groups!

I went the last weekend and about 3 weeks ago, and while I'm limited by the stock tires, it's been a lot of fun. I've had instructors ride with me too which has helped me out a lot. There's gonna be a tsx at the next one so we'll see how mine compares

I've taken my stock TSX to PIR for a day. TSX in stock form is down in power but it holds its own in corners. Stock tires = understeer Brakes were fading after a few sessions, the TSX is a pretty heavy car. I'll be going back to PIR in August with my SC TSX with upgraded hawk hps pads and RB Rotors.

I would go with Hawk Blue racing pads if I track my TSX more often.
