Default Basically Stock AP1 versus Second Gen TSX

Was coming home last night and passed a TSX that floored it when I got up next to him. I just sort of smiled and kept on going, as there was too much traffic to really play around with him. We conveniently happened to line up next to each other at a stop light and both went for it as the light went green. I got off the line better than he did and immediately started to pull away, probably ended up 3-4 car lengths by the time I got into 3rd gear and up to about 70ish before shutting it down. He hit the brakes hard once I shut it down and fell back down to probably below the limit and wouldn't pull up next to me. I gave him a thumbs up anyways and continued on my way.

My S2000 is a 2000 with a test pipe as its only mod. The TSX seemed like it had basic bolt-ons, I saw an exhaust and heard an intake.

This doesn't surprise me at all. I had a TSX and in no way can you compare it to a S2K performance wise. Plus they weigh like 3300 pounds at least lol

Now the V6 TSX would give you a run for your money.

this. The 4 cylinder TSX is like an IS250 basically. Looks nice and has a faster higher trim, but the base is like 0-60 in 7+ seconds or something.

Yeah the base model is very very slow. V6 slightly faster but the car is not made at all for speed!

Nice to hear your 2000 is still running strong.
