Why has there been no official Performance # for Type-S

I can’t find them any where. Other than what Acura has put out there. I want real test results. We had numbers on the G35 before the car was even on the showroom floor. Car magazine were dieing to drive that new car but seems like they could care less about the Type-S.

It is already out and is disclosed on a competing website .... uh ... edmunds. Hopefully, I have not violated any forum rules by naming a competitor. If I did, I beg the moderators' apologies.

Continued. I saw it yesterday, but when I tried to revisit the site again just now, I could not find it. Strange ....

Ok
My Type S has 667 miles on it and her are my unofficial non track numbers (auto trans)

I was consistently, in four runs, between 5.5 and 5.9 0-60 without any real prep or even any specific road this was just on the flattest road I could find locally !!

The paddle shifting is a blast but you have to watch redline (just like in a stick) but it is essential with this motor to get good times

So as I have been saying I think we will be impressed with this car, cant wait till we get some stick times !!
