Mercedes S500 picks on TSX
I was enjoying a nice morning drive yesterday and just going 60mph on a highway where the speed limit is 50mph. So, I see a guy driving behind me in a Benz all tinted in black. He was kinda following me too close in the back and he switched lanes to the right. We were both parrallel, he was on the right lane and I was in the left. I sped it up just a bit to 70mph. All of a sudden I guess he wants to show the true power of an S500 and he goes to about 100 to 105 mph on this highway. Where are the police when you need them?
It wasn't fair though cause I looked up the specs on that S500 and it is a V8 302 Hp car and 4 more cylinders than the TSX. I wish I had the M45 335hp V8 and I could spank his butt and teach him a lesson.
I don't think any Acura except for the NSX could keep up with any S class Mercedes.

I may be imagining this wrong, but, assuming you're on a four-lane highway, you were in the left (passing) lane and he's coming up behind you, you shouldn't make him pass you on your right. You should have moved over and let him pass. I give you big for hogging the passing lane and then trying to race a guy whom you forced to pass you on the right.
Am I imagining this wrong?

Well, i'm not sure about the numbers, but according to MB, the S550 does 0-60 in 5.4 and it has a 382hp V8. So a S500 with 302 and with a curb weight of only about 100lbs less than the 550, i'd say you are looking at a 0-60 in the TL region. About 5.9 seconds.

You can almost get 3 TSXs with that S500(when brand new)
Unless I become a millionare, I can't see myself spending that much money on that type of car.....
but if that idiot in the S tried to race you and get in to an accident, that pile of junk will be worthless.... sorry for mumbling... =P

i don't even think people drive s500 want to race each other
They probably want to drive fast and pass people up....but not going head to head race...
that's what we do
probably should get CL55 if they want to race

Funny how some people think if you are following someone in the left hand lane, that means it's OK to hog up that lane. If the Benz had enough time to pass both of you, then it seems like you were in the wrong. Move over and make way for those that like to move faster, regardless of how much over the speed limit you were going.
I can't believe you thought he was trying to race you.

u never had experience that when you try to pass someone at right lane.
then all the sudden the car on left lane speed up so you can't pass them?......
I don't even know why the hell this guy sped up to 70 for.......it's retarded that you prevent someone drive faster than you to pass you up.

LEFT LANE IS A PASSING LANE
If people don't move out of the way I give them about 10 seconds to change lanes and then I tail them. If they don't move then I pass them on the right.
I don't understand why some drivers don't understand that concept. Even if they are going 80 in a 65 they should move aside for a faster car. I hate it even more then I try to pass a car on the right and they speed up intentionally... That's one of my pet peeves.

Im not sayin anything about what 04EuroAccordTsx went thru, just in general.
If you're goin 80 in a 65 but im clearly wanting to go 90, let me pass!
