V6 TSX?

the Teuton · February 16, 2009, 08:40:28 PM

I need to drive a 2009 Accord. The 535i is a formidable competitor, though.

YO · February 17, 2009, 07:45:14 AM

where you gonna get a valid license?

Done, and done.

In fact, you're at an advantage. I'm comparing a TSX.

May-ish. It's just convenient that the cars in question are the cars my parents happen to own, and the cars I drive often (daily in the case of the BMW, maybe once every 2 weeks in the case of the Acura).

I doubt you daily drive your parent's 5-series without a license.

Then doubt it.

If you don't believe me, that's your problem. Keep this in mind. I have to go somewhere everyday. More often than not, I drive.

Still makes more torque than every 4-banger Honda ever made.

You know, it's really funny how bad your insults suck.

And it's also really bad how little torque Honda 4-bangers make. Too bad my sister has a TSX that I've driven a lot, eh?

Little 4 bangers with good heads can make tons of torque

All 2009 Acuras suck

Nobody said they can't. It's just that Honda doesn't have any N/A 4-bangers with any torque.

Maybe not stock :whistle:

I've seen mild builds (think stock block 2.2L motors) put torque down that puts some V6s to shame

YO · February 21, 2009, 07:45:20 PM

you're showing your age again. It's impossible to feel torque in a video game. You've been brainwashed by the torque hype. Luxury V6s a short decade ago had simuler tq with much less hp... unless you have a Wi... I think you can feel tq with that thing...

No one's complained. A lot of people like revving the piss out of the motor.

They have a TSX, you douche.

GoCougs · February 21, 2009, 08:18:14 PM

Oh, yes, torque as horsepower - my favorite all time "debates" on the Internets.

Yeah, not even a physicist can "debate" a god damn mathematical conversion between units.
And don't even get me started on people who can only think in peak output numbers.

It's also impossible to feel torque (low-end grunt) in a Honda 4-banger.

This is too easy.

You'd be surprised. I had one physics professor explain to me that parralel lines may or may not intersect each other depending on the shape of the universe.

(but don't make YO try to wrap his head around such concepts, he's a salesman)

That is impossible. That would mean the motor revs to 24,307 rpm, but I'm pretty sure the NSX rev limiter was set at 22,000 rpm.

My astronomy professor iss pretty sure the universe is shaped like a rather large donut, so I don't have any problem with parallel lines intersecting each other.
