MY 05 TSX vs. E36 318i
well on friday evening my wife and i hopping in our TSX(5AT) and headed down to portland to pick up my NEW cusco 4pt roll bar. so finally get to portland, load of the roll bar, grab some din and head back towards 5.
after about an hour into our trip back home i start to get tail gated by a white bimmer. now im in the fastlane cruise set to 75, so i get in the slow lane and let this craker pass us. but as he passes he notices that our TSX is dumped and this somehow signals him that im a street racer.
now i DO NOT RACE with my wife in the car, she is my everything and my whole world and nothing is worth putting her in needless danger, but as most young driver that think they have a fast car, this moron starts to just harass us.'
so after about 5 min of the crap, i just want to get away from him. so i slide the shifter over to M mode and dropped it into 3 at around 60 and punched it. i hear him drop a couple gears, he had loud ass exhaust. but from 60-100 i put about 886 cars on him.
cliff notes:
TSX with KN drop in, two passengers+cusco 4pt. punishes 318i.

That must have been kind of amusing for by-standers watching 2 slow cars race each other. I like the TSX but I'd like to see Acura slap the RDX motor in the TSX...it still wouldn't make me buy one due to it being FWD.
