2 birds......1 stone

I usually don't race because working for an ambulance company ya see a lot of race related crashes. But I just couldn't pass this one up considering I almost bought a TSX. Anyways here's the story. Getting on to Rt 3 south at Ext 8 in Nashua, NH I was behind a silver 2001+ Honda Civic coupe. It had rims, springs, exhaust, rear lower tie bar (polished DC Sports), and blue headlight bulbs (i noticed them when I got in front of her). Well, we get on the highway and I just pass her at my normal highway driving speed of about 80mph. I'm keeping that constant speed when she downshifts and trys to pass me. I just laugh it off, leave it in 5th and just run away from her. Well, after I completely demolish the civic (not a big surprise), I roll up on a new Acura TSX crusing at about the same speed (90mph). Guy driving it is about same age as me with a passenger. As soon as I get even with him he tries to take off. Well at about 90mph in 5th gear I'm still boosting so I just leave it in 5th and floor it. To my surprise I slowly walk away from him. We get up to about 120mph and I'm about 2 1/2 cars a head and we shut down. He gets in behind me due to traffic and we stay that way for a little while. Well, low and behold the chick in the civic tries to play again. She's coming up really fast on the TSX and he sees it. He whips out from behind me and takes off. He gets even with me and I dropped into 4th gear at about 75mph. I stay even with him and again I slowly walk away from him all the way up until about 110mph and shut down with the Civic no where in sight. I slow down and the TSX get beside me and we give each other a thumbs up and part ways. I love the new TSX. It's a very sleek gorgeous car with tons of modding potential. I really want one. Anyways, let the comments fall.

I have no idea man. I bought the car after the track closed. I'd love to run ya though. I actually did my first launch today. Holy sh*t this car gets outta the hole like a bullet being shot out of a gun!!!! Launching an AWD car is definitely going to take some practice to get some good 60's. I can't wait to go to the track next year.

yeah once you get it down you should be 2.0's on a bad launch and 1.7's on a good launch.

my best is still in the 2.1's lol

Hell ya bro. I've already started with a Helix Flex Uppipe and the intake silencer removal. Cosmetic wise, I recently debadge the trunk. I left the WRX on there though. More mods as soon as the weather gets warmer. I plan on modding until it's a low 12 sec car. I'll stop there.
