played with a 3G TSX

DFW area

few nights ago I was going on 20E doing 70 on passing lane at Cooper when I saw this silver TSX zip zapping in the traffic. I bumped the speed up to 80 mph and it noticed me and also increased speed to about 80 (he never tail gated me).

So i sped up to about 120 and then let go and all I saw was his head light from far back. About 5 seconds after passing Collins here he goes coming at the traffic like bat out of hell then cut 3 lanes straight onto 360N on ramp nearly hitting few cars,,,

why would you mess with a TL when you are in a stock TSX?

This is my first "race" btw in a 08 base

Sounds like he was just having fun and opening it up. I still like the TSX even though its not meant to be fast. All its missing is a V6.

i did that once with my buddy that has a 06 tsx, i had him all the way, but as soon as it got to the tight turns, he seemed to carry more speed in the turns and i can see his lights getting closer and closer. but every time he gets close enough for a pass, ower bails me out. hahahah

A K23A would also be a game changer for the TSX.

I too live in DFW, and will repeat what has been said before--KEEP IT ON THE TRACK.

The DFW AZ group will go down to Ennis in the spring and run the 1/4 mile, that is the time to test your mettle (and metal).

PM me or RUF87 for details on the Spring event.
