If a 2002 Acura Automatic TL 3.2 (stock) raced a Ford Escort ZX2 5-speed manual (stock).

Who would win most likely, and why?


Thanks

Belongs in racing and competition.

Full bolted N/A escorts don't even make the HP/TQ our cars do stock but race to find out.

I suggest you race the Ford Festiva first to see how you do. Since you had to ask about ZX2, I'd rather see you test your skills against a lesser foe first!

With 130HP those escorts are no joke; they can even do 0-60 in single digits when there is a 60MPH tail wind. And as 01tl4tl pointed out, you are severely handicapped by your AT. If you fail to property get out from the dig, the turbulent vibration from the 1 7/8" exhaust system of the ZX2 will create a specific gravity vortex that will disrupt the frictional bands of your second gear; causing you to grind to a halt with Christmas tree of warning lights on the gauge cluster!

hahahahahahahaha Nice one "AZsilverTl"

@ OP:
Seriously asking about pwning a ZX2 is like Asking if you can beat a Beetle...
Your car is a VTAK V6 vs An Economic "made for" MPGs I4.
They had to make the ZX2 5Spd Manual or else would be just too damn slow with an AUTO.

Ill bet the ZX2 Not even with Full-Bolt Ons would reach the TL-P HP perhaps with Turbo...
