The performance specs on the CL9 is sufficient but not ultimately a straight line warrior. Between the CL9 and 325i ... It can come down to a drivers race, however the 325i still has slightly more power and torque.
So what happens at the red light..
Ok im not one for breaking the law, but sometime those idiots next to me with 3 of there freinds in the back seat egging them on just makes me wanna blow them away.. Ive been a loyal European driver and well drove the TSX and well crap im hooked.. never thought i would like the car but the dealer told me to try it and well lets just say the money is comeing within a month.. i wanna know how fast is this car agianst other cars.. I mean dame its fast around corners and decent on a striaght line... anyone have some upgrades that have made it faster, and what has anyone TESTED it on to see if well that 6spd can be put to good use.... i wanna spank some people with this car especially the BMW 325i.. c1i2ck anyone got any good stories

i smoked a 325i with my 6 speed, but the 325 was an automatic...i redlined thru all gears and i have intake and headers......
so basically, 500 bucks and a 6 speed tsx and you will spank your 325's away

The MTs aren't as weak. :loser:
I would think the TSX(MT) and 325i(MT) would pretty much be a driver's race. Quarter mile times are about the same with maybe a slight tenth or two advantage for the BMW, but I remember them trapping at similar speed. Weigh about the same. Torque difference isn't too significant, though RWD is from a dig, but the extra 800rpm in the TSX should help a little as you climb the rpms.
hmm kool as i wish my money would come faster.. i wonder how much excess whieght you could get off the TSX.. lighter rims, dash, coils, hmmm i have plans to make this car light and something that stands up for itself in all types of roads.. (ex. 350z 13.3 1/4 after a 300lbs loss..) i know the TSX is alreayd light as a feather but there is always more to take off and more to rplace and make it night a slim.. im not into Turbos that much because of the danger to the engine im into getting the most out of the engine as i can and i belive with this 2.4 there could possibly be ehhh 250-300 ponies under there with some good mods and tunning, and if i could take off about 100lbs.. can u imagin.. tee minus 2 months.. well maybe sooner till i can get my TSX.
What's your budget? You sound like you want to build a NA lightweight monster. Comparing a Z33 vs a CL9 is quite different, one is a VQ35 while the other is a K24. I've seen what Z33's potential is like after spending a fairly decent amount of money into it, but if you use the same budget on a CL9 ... The performance will still not be close nor on par. It's apples and oranges.
before 120 km/h, it is driver race.
after 120km/h, tsx owns the 325i
but if u really want speed, go for RSX-S. owns WRX badly :idea:

Indeed.. Hello, and welcome to the Club PeteAU04 :wavey:johnej said:Welcome to the club peteau
my budget will be after the car is paid for completley i can spare around 300 a month for upgrades... i got a killer server job at a nice resturant make crap load of tips... just wanna have a nice nice downpayment to get the monthly payments down incase of any problems arising.. so in all years acount for upgrades could be around ehhh 3600- 4200 a year.. probly more because yea i love to drive and wanna make a nice car that is well a sleeper in a sort of way.
ohh and also did i mention I HATE TWO DOORS, cant stand eemmm i love makeing four doors nice and fast
HEy Noel what do you think a good HP and TRQ number could be that you could get out of just the engine.. im guessing with the mods out right now.. i would guess around 300 if no quite there yet.. with excess internal mods and tunning.... wat u think? (took another test drive today to make sure my mind was made up and well i taught a Mazda 6 a nice little lesson.. the V6 auto ..)
This one spots a USD$11,500+ upgrade. There's no engine mods available now from Japan for the K24a to bring it to a competition level, perhaps because no one races a CL9 in Japan, only a CL7 with a K20a. 220bhp-230bhp is a more realistic figure instead of 300bhp without touching the engine and without going FI.
welcome pete :wavey:, wow sounds like you really want ot race the heck out of the TSX huh ? :ben:
yes yes i do... mid ohio is a 30 min drive hehhehhee
