Still breaking in my car - 400 miles so far, and it is beginning to loosen up.
Took 250 miles for brakes to bed in.
I have noticed much better mileage - at least 1 mpg average-25.6 mpg in suburban driving.
Must be the added torque.
Very impressive for a car with this much power.
Have not been able to see if the 290 horses I have can spank BMW's. I am itchin' to.

How do you do that?

I called up the Acura plant in Ohio and some guy told me the "S" stood for "Snappy".
He said the marketing guys thought it would be smart to make a "Snappy" car thus the "S" was born.
I told him it stood for "Stupid" since that's what he sounded like on the phone.

Thinks, hunter001, I always have been fascinated by those rich guys and celebs who have "spokesmen" doing their busy work - I feel an inch taller since you were my spokesman on this tag.
Merci!
