I must be fucking crazy or something! You guys are like women that dont trust any man because she thinks are men are dogs! Unless the scale at the track was broke thats what the damn car weighed in at 3295 with me and I weigh 180 so thats 3115 w/o me! I put many hours of time and labor to cut that weight so I know it better be lighter. It kills me how little pieces of paper solves all problems when that doesnt mean shit when you dont have proof of what car it came from!! I could collect time slips at the track all day from other cars and pick one to post! Same for dynos! Hell I could go online and post a dyno from another car! We waste so much time hating!! Hating is a weak emotion!! Just man up and say thats good. As hard as it was for me to get into the 14's I didnt give you shit about you running that time and missing a gear. I just said to myself "well his car is fast and he is a good driver".
Remember to shut up a hater with proof means you have something to prove.......I dont. If you do or dont I dont care. Need advice, help I got you.

So you claim to have shaved off 130lbs, I would like to know where?
Also, even at 3100lbs the G35 would have still beat you pulling consistent high 14's. R&T mag, does not subject the car to extraordinary 1/4 miles, they are all reasonable numbers that most drivers could acheive by stomping on the gas.

Here's my runs last week. I ran 14.9 twice and one 15.1
With better tires and a better launch the car should run mid 14's
I will work on that for the 2008 season.

By the way I was the only TSX at the track that day and Mr.Stylez was a no show.

Glad to see you could run that fast. If you would have said 13s, then I would be highly doubtful. Im sure someone could do it with a racing setup and extensive weight reduction, but our cars just dont have the torque off the line. Too much weight and little torque. I guess Im stating the obvious. As for taking the G35 on the street, I completely believe it. It could have been ragged out and an auto. Whereas if you stay in high rpms and vtec on the highway, well I played with a 525 and took it easily on the highway. Also played with a 98 m3 sedan and while it took me, it was nothing convincing. I just stay in 3rd and 4th.

absolutely can not believe I read all 4 pages...not every word though...
but props to you for being RELATIVELY curteous on most of your posts while all this hating is going on
nice runs man!! glad to see a japanese 4-bangers spanking them redneck muscles!!
for the G35 ordeal, man...anything can happen on the road, maybe the G35 had a radar detector and it went off? or maybe he's a noob who just got his first manual car and miss-shifted? or he was just a 500 lb man who is falling asleep...
but again, way to go for your runs.
one thing I don't agree with though...your USDM A-SPEC Front lip is not "JDM"
and may I suggest getting a bigger acura sign for your trunk...
God bless

As for the G35 , my car has a dramatic increase in pull after 75 mph so you can joke all you want or believe what you want but dont sleep on my car.
Car domain doesnt have a wide variety of options so since the front lip is offered overseas the name fit.
As for the Acura emblem I wanted to eliminate it so instead I just used a smaller one. You are the 1st to not like it but that really doesnt matter beacuse it is my car. Thank you for your opinion though.

Hmm, high 14s pretty impressive for modded TSX, but still not enough to beat well driven G35, not coupe, not sedan, not 6 speed, not auto. Your car pulls "hard" after 75mph,compared to what??? dude, get into G35 6speed, you'll be ashamed with your car power at any point of acceleration. TSX around here don't even wanna play, the ones that did, were left far behind in dust, even from 75-120 pull more than bus length.
You did beat a driver, not a car!!!

Second Thank you for the props on the track time it took hard work to get it there with the DBW still intact.
Third I will never be ashamed of my cars acceleration because it is a 200hp TSX not a 40,000 287hp Nissan 350z disguised as a G35 and I take credit for the performance improvements not Honda.
Fourth you can bet your balls no stock first gen G35 especially a auto will ever pull a bus length on my car. All TSX's you know or know of dont run like mine. Trust me on that! Just beacuse you see my car run 14.9 on tape does not mean it is not faster. Always remember a true racer never reveals all of his secrets.( And no my secrets dont involve NOS)

A highway race i could believe you may have beat one. I once raced one on the highway and stayed even with him 3rd and 4th and 5th wouldnt engadge. Back when my tranny was messed up. I dont know what gear the guy dropped to but i was even with him. But from a stand still?.. that car has alot of pull. After knowing i kept up with that G35 i thought i'd do the same against my dad in his 350Z.. wow! i was in 2nd and went redline to 3rd at 6k rpm's he actually stopped to match my speed and then pulled like 2 cars instantly and kept pulling! That was crazy.. and after he said.. "well atleast you look fast". He's an azz! 14.8/14.9 is fast for a TSX.. but against a G35 those numbers arent good enough. A true racer reveals all and then says "beat that!" and also says.. "It doesnt matter if you win by foot or a mile.. a win is a win" haha "had me?.. you never had your car!" haha j/k

That white RSX I raced down the track ran a 14.6 and we were side by side so a 14.3 which is what most G35's run is not a hugh difference.My car is faster than a 14.9 trust me but Im not willing to risk breaking axles by using slicks. Yet. And I dont ever give all my secrets about anything in life I like to keep them guessing. Many racers make you think they are being honest and telling you everything about their cars then you get a rude awakening when they take your money or car keys!

#109
I dont doubt that but the car I ran was not a 07 model for sure. My car with the mods I have feels like whole different monster than it did stock. So stock I would not even try a G35. The TSX has so much untapped potential it is unreal. If you have the time ,patience and money to cut thru the "refinement fat of the Acura" to get to the raw Honda it was meant to be you will create a monster.

um... do you folks realize it's 1 and a half year apart from the last post by OP?
Oh yeah, i can't believe i read all 3 pages word by word. Good to know a 4 banger can do that.
Man what's with the old car in the video doing wheelies??? What kind of setup? 400+ HP?

I still have my TSX but I have a new project my focus is going to now. A DSM 7G Galant. Its so easy to just go out and purchase something fast. I enjoy making cars fast that gives you more to take pride in. Especially when you just whipped some new fast car with a HO V6/V8 and the owner swears you have NOS or turbo. And I say no...its just a 4 cylinder.
And those cars were doing wheelies all day!!
