Flying a little too low
Thanks swoosh, naah bro I don't use highway anymore, see 200 miles/tank, only city.

What's the limit on your MT? 158mph?
I passed 145mph as I remember because I came here and asked you guys what was the AT limit lol
I can't help it, if trunk is empty, gas is low, I am the only one inside the car.. hit it
Otherwise, naah slow

Jeremy....I usually dont go above 100 now...I try to stay below the 3 digits...and there is a fine on how fast you are going but no fine on how fast you get to 65-75mph....
so when the mood strikes, I usually get up there and then just cruise from there on out

EDIT: the NSX is sick....

Trust me, I know...I get my kicks in quick bursts from 20 to 70...then cool out. Technically, they COULD nail you for something with fast acceleration...but c'mon officer, cut us some slack!

I once got pulled over for "accelerating too quickly". I told him that I didn't go above the speed limit, nor floor the pedal doing so. He just said it was "unnecessary" and that I didn't need to do it at all.

^^^ damn COPS just like being DICKS....
its not like you were street racing or doing a damn burnout....
since I drive 100% city (i exaggerate, more like 85%), I like to time the lights....at some lights if I get upto 50-55 really quick, I get the next 4-5 lights green, else I have to stop at every light....I just hope I dont get caught for "accelerating too quickly"

There's an area near work where it's 35MPH...I know if I catch that light at the yellow it's a mad WOT dash to the next one...so what I do is accelerate as fast as possible, then drop back to 45 or so before crossing the intersection in case there's a cop there.

Jeremy, ditto but no one here is walking so cant see how much time is left 
I usually base my "judgement" with other signals...say, if I can see the light is green and am approaching it from a distance, then the left turn light turns green, I can kinda judge is I can make it to the light or not....if not, I cruise....if I think I can make it, WOT baby !!!

Canadian cars have the smaller numbers [the km/h] where you Americans have your MPH.
Which would mean 120km/h=75mp/h
=p
But I just did the math and 120mp/h=193km/h.

What are the speeding laws where you are anyhow?
In Ontario, Canada... going 50+ would result in 7 day license suspension, 7 day impounded car, ticket to court summons where the penalty can range from $2,000 to a WHOPPING $10,000!!
Ask me how I know.....................

Got you lolgetting to 200kmh is nothing for this car, I did this in a normal traffic highway during the day.
Gets up to there fast enough
200+ is what sucks for our AT
I need night time for that lol
I can't live 1 day without a carI am not sure about the laws but the only ticket I had was in 2010 doing 86mph or something in a 55mph road.
I got $100 ticket...but I blamed the STI and he believed me

Wish I can say I feel your pain... but I have the 6MT. I don't suffer from that

When I first drove this car, I didn't even believe that Honda/Acura made it! It felt too fast for a 4door Honda/Acura! I used to work for a 3rd party company for Honda and even my coworkers couldn't believe how fast the TL was STOCK
I know you got MT
hahaha
I don't even have J-Pipe
Before we bought this car in 2006, I drove a friends V6 Accord sedan MT and I was amazed how it pulled. That was my first impression. No torque like Germans but the car goes

Exhibition of speed, they call it.
