How you seem to be the “FIRST” Canadian Journalist/RUclips Channel to get the TypeS is beyond me. Keep it up! Even if you are just drag racing it’s still a game changer for your channel, GREAT job Sam!
@@titusrome2863 Go ahead, create your own channel and see how that goes. I am entertained, I love the races that are being constantly made here. These are cars that most of us can afford, and it is nice to see them against each other. Sam Carlegion does a great job.
Same here.. enjoying it. I commented once though asking Sam to make it shorter. Just the view angle from the winning car in each run will do, and a shorter intro. That will bring out a more crisp content. But Sam maybe doesn't want to listen to me 🤔
Team TypeS all day. I wanna see the TypeR vs the TLX TypeS. And the Accord 2.0 vs the TLX TypeS. What Acura should’ve done is borrow the 3.5 twin turbo V6 from their track cars. Then The TypeS would’ve been a better competitor.
@@topshelf30 not sure about the differences in gearing but the Type S 10 speed shifts much quicker than the accord, despite the accord already shifting quick.
the new 3.0 engine has a lot more potential being dohc than the old j35.. that being said they should have built it for top end like they always had give it a 8k red line and give it rear electric engines. like the nsx they had them in the previous generation..i don't see why they never continued with it.. this car could have easily been 400hp to 430 from factory and have a sick launch!
Fun fact: Acura's A-spec line originated in Canada, and was originally an upgrade package for the 2003 TL Type S. But over the years, A-spec was watered down to being the mostly appearance package for the non-Type S models like it is today.
I see your fun fact and raise the CSX fun fact. The last TypeS was actually the Acura CSX, only available in Canada. I don’t remember the last year of the CSX TypeS but it came after the 3rd Gen TL TypeS. Making it the forgotten TypeS.
@@youngbrevy 👍 and the CSX Type S was the only Type S model from 2009 to its discontinuation in 2011. It was in a way a pioneer for its class in Canada. It paved the way for future subcompact FWD luxury performace sedans (Mercedes A35 AMG, BMW M235i, Audi S3), that simply weren't offered in Canada at the time.
@@TheBreakfastLover I wouldn't say it "paved the way" for any of those cars....it was just a left-hand drive version of the JDM Civic Si, with leather seats.
@@FarhanAhmed-mx1wm just wanna see the race idc who would win, but I’m hoping (I’m also pretty sure) the q50 would win, I’m a Infiniti owner and just like seeing the Infiniti run against other quick cars
I'd love to watch it too (Q50 VR30 owner IRL) but I think the more logical matchup is against the non-RS version. A loaded Q50 AWD right now is about $52,000, within a thousand of the loaded (they're all loaded) Type S. A loaded Q50 RS AWD is about $62,000, or about $9,000 more than the Type S. It'd be great to throw in an IS 350 F Sport as well (which, loaded, again, costs about the same as the Type S, whereas the comparably equipped IS 500 is $10k more). I guess technically the competitor would be the Q70 and GS in terms of size, but they don't make those anymore. The 2021 TLX reminds me in a lot of ways as how the Mustang, Camaro, and Challenger are all considered direct competitors despite the Challenger being far larger than either of them.
Red sport will wipe the floor. However the type is very soft from the factory. I'd love to see tune only vs tune only when k tuner gets a unit out for this v6. Red sport already has piggy back setups for my boost fuel and timing. Curious to see what would happen tube vs tube only. No bolt ONS. I think the type s would take it with tuning available. Something tells me that stock set up with a down pipe will be good for 450 wheel
Great job as always Sam ...I'd love to see the Accord 2.0t go up against the ASpec...more power for the ASpec...but less weight for the Accord Sport 2.0t.
Since the accord 2.0T is underrated from the factory from seeing Dino runs on a stock Accord. Both cars put sown the same numbers but with the Accord weighing less it takes out the Aspec TLX.
SAM THANK YOU! But now I want you to pick the brain on the Type S with racing the Aspec TUNED either in Stage 2 or 3 format. People with the Stage 3 Phearable tune are getting roughly 50 more hp and 98 more torque on a tuned Aspec. That would make it curious if its worth just spend $600 bucks for a tune or thousands for a Type S if you just want speed.
I wanna see it too, just so everyone that thinks it's gonna be a good race, and that the Accord is comparable to the Type S, can shutup. It it might not get thrashed on the roll, but it will still be behind 2-3 cars. The difference is apparent, if this video is any indication, with the Type S clearly being a full second faster than the Aspec, while the Accord is only about half a sec faster than the Aspec.
@@jeremyfernandez4774 Mmmhmm, about two car lengths like I said, and that's only trap speed. If we're looking at ET in the standing quarter mile, it's gonna be half a second slower, or about 5 cars behind.
Boy I'd love to see both of these available in a six-speed manual. Honestly, if I could get the 2.0L AWD TLX in a six-speed manual and true touch-screen infotainment, I'd pay MSRP for that!
@@gdrip0177 it's not a question of whether or not it would win. Its a question of how much. They have the type s posting 13.6 trap speeds. The accord can run it in 14.0. For a $30,000 price increase, that sucks if its true.
@@Ih8chew, don't really need Sam's video to demonstrate that the Type S will run 1/2 sec. quicker than the Accord, and a little over a second quicker than the base TLX model...their trap times are verified. And put them on a track and the Type S will demolish both the base model and even more so the Accord. The S is track-tuned and its SHAWD setup is amazing. The Accord handles well for a family sedan, but is purposely design out-classed by the sister Acura offerings. This explains in part the price difference.
@Catholic Firefighter not to mention the Type S's 5-60 time is actually quicker than an Audi S4. So unless you're using launch control or brake torquing, the Acura is quicker from a red light.
@@TheBreakfastLover I can believe this. There’s a massive delay from a dead stop in “launch mode” from the type s. If that can be eliminated it’ll be in the 4.x range 0-60 all day.

The hype is still there! I live in the Midwest where two local dealerships of mine are doing waitlist. I tried to get to the waitlist but they’re full. Meanwhile in Chicago, they’re doing $10k marked up, I did argued and got to $8k marked up but they sold to another person the next day that’s willing to pay full $10k marked up over MSRP.
I am sure the results would have been the same, but what about the roll. That definitely put the power increase in perspective. The weight difference isn't that extreme either. Thank you Sam.
Throw that overachieving Accord 2.0 against the Type-S. Curious to see how much faster the Type-S is in your tests. You guys do them way better than any other channel.
I wish that TT6 was available last year when I bought my Stinger.Honda/acura products are uber reliable.I traded a Honda in on my stinger-- a 10 year old crosstour.Every button--seats and fit and finish were in the same shape as when I bought it.Every button still had that quality click when you pressed them Air filters--oil changes--Tires and brake pads was all it needed in those 10 years and not a hiccup.BTW the Stinger interior is on par with Honda--which is fine by me.If they keep making these in 2025-26 when i will be looking again I might get one if KIA has nothing similiar.
Not so fun if you just dropped $55k+ on a Type-S (they're going for over sticker ... and idiots are paying it ... Civic Type-R all over again ... gotta love Honda fanboy morons) and it gets walked by a $30k Kia. From a dig, it'll be a driver's race in the 1/4 (edge goes to the TLX). Anything outside of a dead stop, the K5 GT is walking away.
Now waiting on the 2023 teggy type is, question are they going to keep it 6 speed or dct? Since it's a type s, we already know it's going to have the same j series motor making 355 hp and torque. But is it worth the wait. We'll found out soon enough
Should be interesting at some point to bring out a 03 CL type s manual vs 07-08 type s TL vs the current tlx type s just to see how far has acura models gone throughout the years
@@racing-proof34 yeah man! You have no idea. I was a newbie in the professional world, decided to go for it in 2003 and demanded the manual. We found one that was black on black, I had the gold package put on it and I was in heaven. Unfortunately, it got totaled about 2 years after buying. Wasn't my fault, but I was devastated. Ended up getting a 2005 Nissan Altima SE-R 6 speed manual shortly after😎
I have a 6 speed tls and it's modded with a k tuner full bolt on and 3.7L manifold . I gap the tlx s and a spec nd accord 2.0 all day. With 260k miles on it .
Can you please find people with an dc2 Integra Type R with engine bolt ons, vs Acura RSX Type S with bolt ons? (Intake header exhaust) it’ll be a fun race!
@Catholic Firefighter If he won, he’d be in office. Again, what does Trump or politics have to do with drag races? You shouldn’t be allowed to comment, you’re annoying.
Can you please put the selling price of the car at the compare list so that we can know the difference between them also not just engine type or horse power only thanks...
I have a new aspec with SHAWD weighs 4K to heavy if you want až rocket my honda 2.0 will smoke it ,but The tlx rides and handles beautiful big price diff too
thanks for doing these videos cause no matter what when people go and buy a car I believe nobody truly goes to the track, they just do a couple pulls on the highways for fun and this let's me know what's worth getting
You are precisely correct. The question is, Q: "Why spend all that extra money buying it, paying more for insurance and worse gas mileage for a car that 99% of people will just do a couple of pulls..."? A. Marketing This video like so many like it are a disguised "upsell" to spend more money for power you will never use, except in a spontaneous street race. Which of course could get you into possible jail, loss of license, a guaranteed whopping fine and astronomical insurance rates for years to come.
My predictions: (Accord 2.0T vs Type-S) The Accord won’t be far behind the Type-S, 4-5 car lengths is about the same (little less) as how much the Accord gapped the A-Spec. Roll race is what will be interesting between the 2... Civic Type-R would definitely take the Type-S on a roll & Accord will be right beside it and keep up.
An easier way to compare them is freezing the frames from when they cross the quarter mile mark, and using a stop watch. Much like Car and Driver's performance figures prove, the Type S is still at least half a second faster than the Accord, and I'm certain the results will show that. The Accord probably wont get decimated on the roll, but I'm sure it will still be behind by no less than 2-3 cars.
@@limitedreach4446 For reference Look at the Type S vs the G70, G70 vs the Stinger, and Stinger vs the K5GT which beat the Accord. I'm positive the Type S will take the Accord by at least 2 cars.
@@GoDsSoN770 Good observation however the K5 doesn’t have the weight difference of the Stinger/G70 that the Accord has of the Type S, the K5/Stinger/G70 have a 500 pound difference, the Accord and Type-S have a roughly 900 pound difference. However, the K5 does have a edge over the Accord after about 50 mph because of the power difference so it’ll all be interesting.
No but he has done the Type S vs a Genesis g70 and the Genesis is faster, The q50rs is a bit faster than the g70 so therefor the rs is probably 3+ cars faster than the Type S
Honda/Acura Fan here Type S is more of a Type Slug it's the slowest car in its Catogoery and after the disappoinment which Honda/Acura gave like I mean coming out with a product later then the competitiors and still can't match the performance of the competition.Kia Stinger Gt came out in like 2018 and it's Korean Car and it's faster then a Type Slug I mean come on Honda/Acura you people used to make engines which had the best performance in there catagoery and look now where they are even the Korean cars of the same class are faster G70 and the Stinger Gt.thus proves that the BMW M340I is still the king and leader of the pack
@@scottroberts5529 lmao the m340i is waaayyyyy to fast...that car would be unfair thats a car setup to crush the competition where as this type s can barely keep up with the competition
Accord tuned would def be side by side with a type s. 20-30k difference based on location and dealer mark ups. I think it's fair to give that little Accord just a simple tune and watch the race considering the Accord isn't tuned for track or drag like a type s should be.
SHAWD A-spec is about . 5 to 1 sec shower than the FWD due to the added weight. While it still won't beat the type S, it would not be as bad as this is.
Can you race the 1.5t Honda Accord vs the 2.0t Honda Accord? There are literally none of those races on RUclips and I always wanted to see the difference
This races makes perfect sense to those who think otherwise. This lets shoppers and fans of the TLX to see what the big difference will really be. We are talking about a good weight difference on the power to weight ratio. It gives perspective if the Aspec is even worth the money for those interested. It may get blown away in stock form. Or give an idea that 1. Its maybe a car length slower, or 2. Let you see that with a tune youll get the Aspec to perform just as good or better than the Type S for way less money if thats all you want. Dont forget that the Type S is also a whole new world of transmission and handling dynamic too.
@Catholic Firefighter the aspec is realistically a 15 second car. It's not doing mid to low 14's because that's what the accord 2.0t does and it's already proven that thos car is slower then the accord. The aspec honestly feels just as fast as a 1.5t.
Accord doesnt do 5.3 sec, though. Dont take car mags too seriously, its marketing ultimately. 5.2-5.4 sec is the bolt ons and tune Accord, stock Accord does it in 5.68-5.85 sec granted good traction, DA, temps, etc. Anyone saying they be doing less than 5.68 sec STOCK, are timing wrong and just fooling themselves, or/and going downhill, or claiming stock when not. As per Accord owners themselves in the forums, once DA corrected, the Accord is a 13.95-14.1 sec @ 100-100.5 mph in the 1/4 mile. Edit: If you watch his Accord vs TLX video , the digs, youll notice that the Accord doesnt fully catch up and goes past the TLX until 6.7--10 secs into the runs, so maybe at around the 1/8 mi mark (~73-76 mph), the Accord starts outperforming the TLX....so. My guess is the TLX got a slightly better 0-60 sec but the Accord, being lighter, got a better trap speed and ET THUS, reaching the final line first...the TLX has a 1/4 mi of about 14.4- 14.5 sec @ 97-98 mph. so yeah (not saying they did those times on these races - just that ultimately, and under equal circumstances - same rxn time, both good traction, in their respective sport modes) the Accord should be about 0.3-0.4 sec quicker in the 1/4 mile, with a better p/w (trap).
Type S does low 5s. Name a verified source has it at 4.7……..Car and driver tested the type S and got 4.9 with .3 1ft rollout which is 5.2……other dragy runs for type S have got 5.2 as well.
@Catholic Firefighter that’s 5 second flat range last time I checked. And that 13.6 quarter mile and 103 mph trap speed is embarrassing. That wouldn’t be bad 10 years ago.

My money is on the TLX
Same, I’m willing to bet the TLX will win but it’ll be closer than most people think against the TLX.

Any of you talking about the lack of speed do not own one lol
Can you set up a test between hybrid models!
Things like Camry hybrid, Accord hybrid, Sonata hybrid!
Throw that overachieving Accord 2.0 against the Type-S. Curious to see how much faster the Type-S is in your tests. You guys do them way better than any other channel.
Yesss, exactly my thoughts. Prwtty sure the Type-S will take it but I doubt it'll be by much on a 1/4 mile
Ya ten car lengths lol
@@drywalljunkie6969 how would the Accord do worse than the A Spec when it beats that car?
@@SonNguyen-mk2wq the accord 2.0t is faster than the tlx because the tlx is so heavy and they have the same engine tranny
@@frgggggdsedd6913 you’re forgetting AWD buddy.
Aspec is a sport appearance trim while Type s is the performance variant 😂
I wish that TT6 was available last year when I bought my Stinger.Honda/acura products are uber reliable.I traded a Honda in on my stinger-- a 10 year old crosstour.Every button--seats and fit and finish were in the same shape as when I bought it.Every button still had that quality click when you pressed them Air filters--oil changes--Tires and brake pads was all it needed in those 10 years and not a hiccup.BTW the Stinger interior is on par with Honda--which is fine by me.If they keep making these in 2025-26 when i will be looking again I might get one if KIA has nothing similiar.
Thanks for your awesome videos!! Likewise.
Can you also do a Type S vs IS350 RWD F sport?
Latter has less power but is 400 lbs lighter and has much better balance.
Type S vs k5GT will also be fun.
@Catholic Firefighter I would think it would be a very close race but in a roll the K5 should take it
Not so fun if you just dropped $55k+ on a Type-S (they're going for over sticker ... and idiots are paying it ... Civic Type-R all over again ... gotta love Honda fanboy morons) and it gets walked by a $30k Kia. From a dig, it'll be a driver's race in the 1/4 (edge goes to the TLX). Anything outside of a dead stop, the K5 GT is walking away.
Now waiting on the 2023 teggy type is, question are they going to keep it 6 speed or dct? Since it's a type s, we already know it's going to have the same j series motor making 355 hp and torque. But is it worth the wait. We'll found out soon enough
Would you do a 87 vs 91/93 fuel of same Acura vehicles to see the differences?
Type S is gonna beat the #### out of the A spec but Love your channel Sam
Type s vs accord 2.0
Great video very helpful
Hey man I like to watch all your videos, can you drag race 2020 TLX VS 2020 RLX see wish one is fast it
Should be interesting at some point to bring out a 03 CL type s manual vs 07-08 type s TL vs the current tlx type s just to see how far has acura models gone throughout the years
My first brand new car was a 2003 Acura CL Type S 6-speed manual.
@@floridamaddogg What a great car this is man indeed.
@@racing-proof34 yeah man! You have no idea. I was a newbie in the professional world, decided to go for it in 2003 and demanded the manual. We found one that was black on black, I had the gold package put on it and I was in heaven. Unfortunately, it got totaled about 2 years after buying. Wasn't my fault, but I was devastated. Ended up getting a 2005 Nissan Altima SE-R 6 speed manual shortly after😎
I have a 6 speed tls and it's modded with a k tuner full bolt on and 3.7L manifold . I gap the tlx s and a spec nd accord 2.0 all day. With 260k miles on it .
My 08 tls 6mt is way faster than my 03 cls 6mt. Haven't touched the new tlx so can't comment
Hey sam, we gotta see a type s vs redsport!!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Now that is a race I would love to see! 🙏🙏🙏
I would like to see the Type-S vs IS350 f- sport 2021. Would make for a good battle.
I wanna see the type s vs the accord 2.0. I'm curious if it's close or not
We want the Civic type R vs TLX type S! That’s the race we need!!! Or you saving the best for last???
Type R is too slow on a straight line.
Broly Vi it’s 1k lighter & top end of the type r good…
@@ctr_omar6051 so is a mustang v6 on a straight line. Type R is just a miata handling and a speed of a v6 mustang. Overhyped
Broly Vi sorry to tell you, but you’re an idiot
@@ctr_omar6051 how else would you understand me if I didnt talk like one?
For 60k I might have to lean towards a C8 Corvette even thought I love Acura
Can you please find people with an dc2 Integra Type R with engine bolt ons, vs Acura RSX Type S with bolt ons? (Intake header exhaust) it’ll be a fun race!
Have you done a Acura TXL Type S vs a CTR or Accord 2.0T 10 spd auto yet???
TLX Type S vs IS 500 F Sport please!
Exactly the comparo I was waiting for!
Both are slugs but the Type-S should gap it considering the Accord 2.0T does. Accord 2.0T vs Type-S will be interesting.
@Catholic Firefighter As I’m sitting in my new Accord, lol. Get a life and stop mentioning Trump in every comment under car drag races, moron.
Agreed the Type A looks like it should be fast but is a heavy slug. TYpe S even tho it needs help in the speed dept looks real sharp
Anybody that is still crying that Trump won when we’re 3/4 done with 2021 should seek help. 😂😂😂
@Catholic Firefighter If he won, he’d be in office. Again, what does Trump or politics have to do with drag races? You shouldn’t be allowed to comment, you’re annoying.
@Catholic Firefighter You Weirdos that worship politicians who don’t give an F about you are sick losers that need help
can you do video with acura tlx technology package 0-60 and top speed?
Can you do a VS between 2007-2008 tl type s manual vs tlx type s?
TLX Type S vs TL Type S please!
Maybe its because I'm such a huuugggeee honda faaaaannnnnn but am ssoooo excited can't wait
How about the old tl type s vs the new tlx type s?
Can you do model 3 dual motor vs type s please
Result: they’re both slow 😂
I would love to see an 07 TL type s against the 21 TLX type s
Would be fun but a total clap
Can you please put the selling price of the car at the compare list so that we can know the difference between them also not just engine type or horse power only thanks...
Why on earth does an Acura weigh over 4000lbs?!?
I have a new aspec with SHAWD weighs 4K to heavy if you want až rocket my honda 2.0 will smoke it ,but The tlx rides and handles beautiful big price diff too
The electronics add weight to the car, there are a few miles of copper cable that are installed throughout the car.
We need the 2009-14 TL sh 305 hp vs type s tlx!!!
ASAP
The TL will smoke it. Very underrated car
I have a 2011 with the 3.7! (305 hp)Let me know where to go and I'll be there! Also, the Type-S will def annihilate it lol.
You mean the 6spd manual TL vs the TLX Type-S. The non manual would lose handily.
@@KK-tt6ui sike
I need to see Type S vs. K5 GT now please and thank you!!
thanks for doing these videos cause no matter what when people go and buy a car I believe nobody truly goes to the track, they just do a couple pulls on the highways for fun and this let's me know what's worth getting
You are precisely correct. The question is, Q: "Why spend all that extra money buying it, paying more for insurance and worse gas mileage for a car that 99% of people will just do a couple of pulls..."?
A. Marketing
This video like so many like it are a disguised "upsell" to spend more money for power you will never use, except in a spontaneous street race. Which of course could get you into possible jail, loss of license, a guaranteed whopping fine and astronomical insurance rates for years to come.
Let's see the typeS up against the Honda Accord sport 2.0.
Do any of these models have an actual launch control?
What was the reason for not doing a rolling race here?
My predictions: (Accord 2.0T vs Type-S) The Accord won’t be far behind the Type-S, 4-5 car lengths is about the same (little less) as how much the Accord gapped the A-Spec. Roll race is what will be interesting between the 2... Civic Type-R would definitely take the Type-S on a roll & Accord will be right beside it and keep up.
Or beside it
An easier way to compare them is freezing the frames from when they cross the quarter mile mark, and using a stop watch. Much like Car and Driver's performance figures prove, the Type S is still at least half a second faster than the Accord, and I'm certain the results will show that. The Accord probably wont get decimated on the roll, but I'm sure it will still be behind by no less than 2-3 cars.
@@GoDsSoN770 It’s almost 1000 pounds heavier though, idk.
@@limitedreach4446 For reference Look at the Type S vs the G70, G70 vs the Stinger, and Stinger vs the K5GT which beat the Accord. I'm positive the Type S will take the Accord by at least 2 cars.
@@GoDsSoN770 Good observation however the K5 doesn’t have the weight difference of the Stinger/G70 that the Accord has of the Type S, the K5/Stinger/G70 have a 500 pound difference, the Accord and Type-S have a roughly 900 pound difference. However, the K5 does have a edge over the Accord after about 50 mph because of the power difference so it’ll all be interesting.

Did you do a video with the TLX Type S vs Q50 RS?
No but he has done the Type S vs a Genesis g70 and the Genesis is faster, The q50rs is a bit faster than the g70 so therefor the rs is probably 3+ cars faster than the Type S
Very interesting
I'm getting a type S
I am too! Next summer.
Too slow.. waste ur money..
@@Zioni21 Na, I think it's good enough for me
Honda/Acura Fan here Type S is more of a Type Slug it's the slowest car in its Catogoery and after the disappoinment which Honda/Acura gave like I mean coming out with a product later then the competitiors and still can't match the performance of the competition.Kia Stinger Gt came out in like 2018 and it's Korean Car and it's faster then a Type Slug I mean come on Honda/Acura you people used to make engines which had the best performance in there catagoery and look now where they are even the Korean cars of the same class are faster G70 and the Stinger Gt.thus proves that the BMW M340I is still the king and leader of the pack
@@FB6K24Z7 lmaooooo Kia.. shit box cars.
Race the type s vs a challenger rt a nissan 370z and a civic type r then a camry trd..maybe even an audi a4 and a 330i

They should try the type s vs the bmw m340
@@scottroberts5529 lmao the m340i is waaayyyyy to fast...that car would be unfair thats a car setup to crush the competition where as this type s can barely keep up with the competition
@@Tjtjboy the type s would for sure win I agree but by how much ya know
Did the engine overrev on the 1st launch??
Can you do the type s vs an is350 f sport?
The type s would beat the accord sport 2.0t.Maybe the accord with a tune could beat it but not stock
Accord tuned would def be side by side with a type s. 20-30k difference based on location and dealer mark ups. I think it's fair to give that little Accord just a simple tune and watch the race considering the Accord isn't tuned for track or drag like a type s should be.
SHAWD A-spec is about . 5 to 1 sec shower than the FWD due to the added weight. While it still won't beat the type S, it would not be as bad as this is.
Can you do tax type s vs integra type s?
Can you do the tlx type s vs accord 2.0t?
Accord 2.0t vs Type S
Coming
@@SamCarLegion ayeeee
I think the fwd tlx will beat the awd tlx and possibly fair better against the type s because it is so much lighter with the same amount of power
Did the KIA K5 GT pull the same way?
Can you race the 1.5t Honda Accord vs the 2.0t Honda Accord? There are literally none of those races on RUclips and I always wanted to see the difference
Can’t find 1.5
Crazy that we call a car that can do 0-60 in 4.5-4.7 and the 1/4 mile in mid to high 13’s “slow”
Crazy that you think it does 0-60 in 4.5 secs
This races makes perfect sense to those who think otherwise. This lets shoppers and fans of the TLX to see what the big difference will really be. We are talking about a good weight difference on the power to weight ratio. It gives perspective if the Aspec is even worth the money for those interested. It may get blown away in stock form. Or give an idea that 1. Its maybe a car length slower, or 2. Let you see that with a tune youll get the Aspec to perform just as good or better than the Type S for way less money if thats all you want. Dont forget that the Type S is also a whole new world of transmission and handling dynamic too.
@Catholic Firefighter the aspec is realistically a 15 second car. It's not doing mid to low 14's because that's what the accord 2.0t does and it's already proven that thos car is slower then the accord. The aspec honestly feels just as fast as a 1.5t.
Could you guys do MDX VS MDX Type S?
Tlx aspec shawd 3.5 V6 vs new tlx types?
Relative, verified 0-60 times: Accord 2.0t = 5.3 sec.; TLX A-spec = 5.8 sec.; TLX-S = 4.7 sec.
Accord doesnt do 5.3 sec, though.
Dont take car mags too seriously, its marketing ultimately.
5.2-5.4 sec is the bolt ons and tune Accord, stock Accord does it in 5.68-5.85 sec granted good traction, DA, temps, etc.
Anyone saying they be doing less than 5.68 sec STOCK, are timing wrong and just fooling themselves, or/and going downhill, or claiming stock when not.
As per Accord owners themselves in the forums, once DA corrected, the Accord is a 13.95-14.1 sec @ 100-100.5 mph in the 1/4 mile.
Edit:
If you watch his Accord vs TLX video , the digs, youll notice that the Accord doesnt fully catch up and goes past the TLX until 6.7--10 secs into the runs, so maybe at around the 1/8 mi mark (~73-76 mph), the Accord starts outperforming the TLX....so.
My guess is the TLX got a slightly better 0-60 sec but the Accord, being lighter, got a better trap speed and ET THUS, reaching the final line first...the TLX has a 1/4 mi of about 14.4- 14.5 sec @ 97-98 mph. so yeah (not saying they did those times on these races - just that ultimately, and under equal circumstances - same rxn time, both good traction, in their respective sport modes) the Accord should be about 0.3-0.4 sec quicker in the 1/4 mile, with a better p/w (trap).
Type S does low 5s. Name a verified source has it at 4.7……..Car and driver tested the type S and got 4.9 with .3 1ft rollout which is 5.2……other dragy runs for type S have got 5.2 as well.
@@Tsand4 agreed. Type S 0-60 is 5 second flat range. Even Acura themselves say that.
Type S aint doing under 5.1 or close unless fully broken in after 40k miles or so ..its a 5.1-5.2 0-60ish car..deff not a 4 second car at all
@Catholic Firefighter that’s 5 second flat range last time I checked. And that 13.6 quarter mile and 103 mph trap speed is embarrassing. That wouldn’t be bad 10 years ago.
Do you guys leave on a light?
would love to see a Type S up against a Stinger GT/G70!
The Type S got dusted quickly against the Kia and Geny. Geny won because it’s 80 lbs lighter.
how about a race with alfa romeo TI sport?
Type S vs Accord Sport 10 speed. Please!
i wonder if the 2,0 turbo tuned would win?
