Exclamation TSX Times and Stuff...?

I have an 04' TSX, and I'm always on the roads around chicago and these rich business men are going next to me with their 7 series BMW's and Mercedes AMG's wanting to race me and I always refuse, but it's those kids in Corolla S's and other sedans that really want to race me. I'm always a little hesitant because I don't want to get OWNED. I was just womdering, because there is a lot of discrepency in the Times of the TSX, what are the times (Manual) and what can I beat? Any help would be appreciated...

The TSX isnt a fast car. The 6MT can do the 1/4 in I think 16 sec.

It's mounted in the CD storage pocket with that super-strong 3M tape. I can remove the whole pocket and slide it into your car the next time we meet up. It's pretty easy since there's no screws to remove.

I wasn't racing... dzuy raced against himself. As a result, it would appear that 19" volks that weigh 4lbs less than stock are still slower than the stock 17's. I bet I could still :troutslap dzuy on a track but we'll have to settle that another day....

He improved his time by what 0.1 sec? I seriously doubt the tires had anything to with it. The Noob just learned how to launch slighly better or he got a stiff breeze from behind on that run.

But seriusly,


For more power go with:
Cold Air Intake
Hondata reflash
Headers

Better handling, start with rear sway bar.

I'm pretty sure the new A4/A3 with the 200HP/200+lb/ft Turbo 2.0L can take the TSX

Depends. Weight, AWD and the fact that VW's mostly don't put as much power to the ground as Hondas may influence the outcome.

Driver's race probably. If the driver in the audi is willing to bombstart it, then yeah, Audi takes it.
