So I took my TL on a Texas regional meet this weekend. We had a 2hr-ish route planned with lots of twisties and hills through central/south central texas back country roads. I was the only 4G there as I expected. There were lots of CL's and 3G tl's. This is the first time I really pushed the cornering limits of my car. I do have H&R sport springs and michelin pilot sport A/S tires on 20" RJ Harrows so handleing was slightly augmented by aftermarket parts. After taking the first leg of the route and taking quite a few decreasing radius turns, I was approached by a CL driver who was very impressed and admitted to having a very difficult time keeping up with me and had to take turns much slower and wider. Pretty impressive for a 4000 lb vehicle. I must admit this car is truley something exceptional! It truely shines when pushed to the limit and handles like a MUCH smaller vehicle. Several times the other Acuras had a difficult time keeping up with me in the corners. I've owned my car for over a year now and have never been more pleased with it. It's a shame that it took me this long to actually see what the SH-AWD was about!!

 

Wish I could have joined ya'll!
I'm glad you had fun!

 

That pic is awesome. Looks like so much fun.

 

It was a blast, thats the first time I let myself go a lil wild driving. Usually I am a by the book speed limit kinda guy. Texas is a fun place, I'm really starting to like it down here. I'm looking forward to the next meet.

 

Hopefully next time there will be more 4g participants.

I posted a video in another thread of the SH-AWD taking a corner at high speed. Would love to see more.

 

Damn looks like a lot of fun. I havent had the nerve to take my car into something like that.

 

Is that a 355 Ferrari in the background?

Edit: Oh - and that is an awesome pic!

 

Sorry for the ARGGGGG hijack.

 

Cool, looks like a blast.

Your TL looks sinister and awesome. Pics like those make me wish sometimes I got black.

Another POV.

 

great pics ... the first one is priceless

 

Looks like some seriously good fun! Wish I could have been there...
I have to completely agree the 4G SH-AWD TL is amazing.

 

That looks like so much fun. Just one question, can you tell the difference of AWD on daily commuting?

 

The road courses look cool, but I would never take my car through that water!! Yikes!

 

Yeah the SH-AWD system is for real man...Wish they had it in the TSX!

 

g-money in the ferrari!!!

 

You tell a difference as far as a stiffer suspension and a more agressive and direct feel of the road. But other than that you really only appreciate the AWD during rain, snow, or agressive driving. As far as a daily commute the FWD feels more floaty, but I still prefer the AWD's sportiness.

 

The water was not nearly as deep as it looks. I was gunning it to create a dramatic splash for the camera!

 

Very nice pics, I love your TL and the mags and beak look good. It looks like the TSX pictured has TL-S rims from the 3G series.

 

Those are some sweet ass picks!!!

 

That's one awesome cheeseburger That would be great with a quart of beer...... and the cars are pretty nice too.

 

Fun time, good pics!

 

Yes that Burger looks great, but WAIT!! Where are all those great looking Texas Girls????????

 

Sounds like a great drive, wish I could have been there. I had the chance to drive the AWD M/T last week and was really surprised at how well it stuck when on throttle in tight corners. Almost better than my buddies SC Mini.
