That would be nice. I already like the look of the TSX. Making it a serious street contender would be nice.

I bet you my CL the US won't get it though.

the new legacy turbo will make 250hp and 250lb tq...also it has a complex awd system that adds a lot in terms of weight especially when compared 2 a vtm-4 derived system....thus, a turbo tsx should be in the thick of things...however...i doubt honda will even make such a car .....if they do tho...i'll go place a deposit on it NOW

true...did u know the new honda 2.2L s2000 motor is dynoing arnd 240whp?...i think honda is doing this to gain alot more Torque, more than any na application could even dream of, and b/c they want 2 attract customers who have been flocking to the wrx, evo 8, sti and now the upcoming new legacy....

You have 2 rmbr, quite a few honda enthusiasts turboed their civics, integras, and accords and realized the pitfalls of fwd....these are the same people flocking 2 the above-mentioned cars and honda knows they will keep losing these type of enthusiasts unless they do something NOW


i just hope its true

240whp seems off by a bit. http://forums.s2ki.com/forums/showth...ight=2004+dyno Don't think the 04's have lived up to the hype TOV made about them.
