362hp vs 200hp

Fellow in black F-250 XLT zooms up next to me and I knew he was going to blow past me and then slow down, so I decided to give him a run for the money. First light I beat him to the lane merge quite handily but I don't think he was expecting it. (Though he did pull out quite fast) Next light he rolls up next to me and revs his truck and a smile comes round my face. Light goes green and we both floor it, little bit of tire skip on both of our ends. I had the guy by about 2 car lengths before I took the onramp for my highway around 70mph (slightly curved onramp - no worries - not curvy to be scary).
Sure the F-250 is much heavier than the TSX most likely, but sheer numbers should have had me beat EASILY. It's nice to see the TSX can beat something with 75% more horsepower

 

Was he pulling an RV?

Good kill -- you should be ashamed of yourself for making him waste 30 gallons of gas with that run.

 

Similar:: friend of mine got a new 06 Dodge Charger a while ago, we were comparing our new cars and both equally happy / proud of them, then he shows me his MPG computer... 11mpg. I fire up the TSX and show him my lifetime 26mpg and 29mpg on the trip computer. I was the only one still smiling.

so many ways I love this car.

 

this is worse then when i posted about beating a civic

 

Hp has NOTHING to do with the outcome of a race between these two vehicles.
