When it is $56k more expensive and sacrificing so much space, NSX should be a lot more faster. But I like this kind of video.

IMO, it's more a tribute to how well the TL performs rather than any "lack of quickness" on the NSX's part. Seems like the TL is only a mod or two away from being a consistent 13-second car. Impressive.

If you're talking 13.0, then the TL is A LOT away from getting to that point.

supercharger w/ extra boost
headers
tires (a must)
and it would probably still come up short...

Awesome video... The new TL really held it's own. It got owned at the end, but didn't do nearly as badly as my CL did against the NSX at Acura Wars a while ago

noooooo even then that NSX supposedly ran 13.0 and 13.4 either runn is light years ahead of what an NA TL stock could run.

Didn't watch it until now... The TL was absolutely owned from start to finish. This is a funny thread.

By running consistent 13 seconds I mean ----> running consistently between 13.0 secnds and 13.99 seconds, not 13-flat on the nose each time. (If I could run ANY time on the nose consistently, I'd be a bracket racing king.)

Looks like to me the TL got walked hard. It wasn't even close at the end.

the nsx is DOHC and has bigger cams so thereis the advatage over the tl-6 which is single cam. also the rpm range goes an to 82k not 62k. the tl had 30 more ponies in it i know this for a fact just need to reprogram the car and free up the exhaust she will make 300 ponies

NSX is one of my all time favorite cars, but I do agree that it's way overpriced.

? it got beat by 8-9 cars lenghts easy. Every car length is equal to .1 of a second. 13.5 NSX vs 14.5 04TL. Seems about right

Wasn't a close race at all.

If you aren't happy with the performance out of the box with the NSX i'm sure Comptech would love to take it off your hands for a few weeks and transform it into an Italian Exotic Killer.

When I had my NSX (270hp) with I/E (about 290hp, let's say).... it was still as quick or quicker than my CL-S was with all NA mods (at least 320+hp). Yes, the NSX was a tad lighter, but was a beast on the highway. I think the gearing if the NSX (5spd and 6spd) is truly optimized for that engine's output curve. 2nd gear used to go to 80mph (5spd)... it used to keep up with the new M5's - even with a nearly 100hp handicap!!
