Acording to MSN, the TSX is slow as bawls
Acura=overpriced honda that you have to put premium fuel in

There is no way MSN could be right. they show a 2002 Acura RSX Type S with 6 speed trans is slower than a 6th gen 5spd accord coupe. They show 0-60 is 7.3 and 1/4 mile is 15.71. That car only weighs 2767lbs! I call BS on MSN's numbers.

lol!
So does a Teg require premium?
The GSR does. I'm not sure about the base (probably not). I guess I was referring to the newer Acuras. I forgot about the tegs.

This is very true... Acuras= An upper class Honda... The TSX is overrated, I love the 6 speed TL's though

Haha...that's awesome. You shut him up.
Amusing story: last night I was driving along and I pull up to a TSX at a red light. I was reminded of this thread but I wasn't gonna try to race the guy or anything (had my wife and baby in the backseat). I looked over to see what they guy looked like. Short hair, goatee, etc.. alone in the car. Then I could hear what he was jamming out to on the radio: it was BoyzIIMen-"I'll make love to you". I turned down my radio and pointed it out to my wife. We both had a good laugh. Some dude riding in his car by himself jamming out to a song that was big in the early 90's.
I have also lost all respect i have ever had for TSX's. I hope some 16 year old(I mean no offense to anyone who is 16 - I just think a TSX is a little too expensive a car to have for your 1st) driving one comes up next to me at a red light sometime when I am by myself. I know my accord is no fast machine by any means, but obviously TSX's are pretty freakin slow.

Hey Jon. Next time I'm at a red light next to you, I'm gonna slam Joplin's Maple Leaf Rag!!! The looks people give you from slamming classical music at a light are priceless!!! Vivaldi, Bach, Beethoven and Mozart work well also ..... but then again, I like all types of music.

I used to love pulling crap like that when I was in college. I had a friend who would sit there and stare at the person next to him at a red light with a blank look on his face. He would just continue to stare at them. It would really freak them out. They would look up at him, then look away, then they would look at him again, and look away again. I would be sitting there laughing so hard I could hardly contain myself. I don't know how he could keep a straight face doing that.
I have always been tempted to jam out to something terrible like "Barbie Girl" but I know I would get that stupid song stuck in my head. Dangit! I have it stuck in my head now just thinking about the name of the song
