- 2021 Acura TLX A Spec takes on small brother Honda Accord 2 0t Sport Drag and Roll Race.Special thanks for this video goes to Calvin with Honda Accord 2.0T.This video was filmed in a closed area licensed for this type of event.
This was a blast of a time. I can assure you all my Accord was never in Eco mode 😉. Sam is really knowledgeable and super unbiased when it comes to these videos so it was amazing to be a part of this one - I can't wait to see this channel continue to be awesome and grow into something more special in the years to come. Thanks Sam!
You are an awesome dude! Thank you for your support.
At least he didn’t do you dirty and use cabin footage that he said he wasn’t going to use 👀👀👀 *ahem* Sam.
Glad you had fun! Thanks for showing us that the Accord 2.0T’s can give it to the TLX’s that want the smoke 💨
Eco mode. Wat a joke. Ohh shit u guys ego are ufff gonnneee 😆.
Question, this accord or K5GT?
@@george.giannop Depends on what you like. The k5gt is faster than the accord. But the accord to me looks better in my opinion. It all comes down to personal preference.
That Accord 2.0 is a real sleeper, exactly what I want.
I have the 2.0 touring I put k-tuner on it it seemed to help it out quite a bit when you flash it back to stock you're like damn how do people think this car is fast 🤔🤷🏼 but I guess it runs pretty good, after you drive it tuned you don't want to drive it stock anymore
@Catholic Firefighter I tuned my Accord so I'd like 2 sure find out
@@honda116969 have you tried a top speed runs? i would love to know
@@zin9121 no, not yet lol but I would sure like to! I would like 2 go get it done soon The only problem right now is I live in Phoenix & the temperature is 117° today 🤪 sucks ass
I liked the drive better than my Acura, just don't like the exterior styling. Otherwise, it's better IMO.
This car will definitely be in my garage for 20 years! I love my Accord X!
I've had the accord touring 2.0T for a month now. Chose it over the TLX A-Spec of the same year (TLX would have had more mileage). Glad I picked the Accord. I get wheel spin even in 3-4th gear..the torque is ridiculously exiting!
The torque is my favorite thing about the car. The car scares my boyfriend lol
I've been thinking about buying a newer acord in a year or two, do you find that assuming your even interested in aftermarket stuff there is a good range of quantity and decent quality?
Old tech inside though 🫤
@@astroid99 yea its one of the most tunable/customizable cars I only got red seats, a front lip and a steering wheel. Blacked out the front grill and back end
Get better tires, fixed my tire spin almost completely
Great video Sam!!!! Honda will forever get 5-stars for the 10th Gen Accord 2.0Ts 🔥💪🏼
Thank you
Did you put the transmission and car in sport??
It's amusing to see how many cars with more HP the Accord has stomped in a drag race.
Can you imagine if Honda never detuned the motor and left it the way was
they are the same is just the tlx is way more heavy compare to accord
Honda always lied about their power figures tho. the world may never know
@@fancyma452 no it already been proven.
@@fancyma452 Are you saying the Accord has more HP than advertised?
I’m hypnotized by the Accord’s wheels
No wonder these are the most stolen wheels in the US lol
@@Oskar0424 most stolen? I just put them on my 2014 acura tsx. Looks nice lowered too
@@rudysalas9138 oh ofc.. I’m just saying they’re so beautiful that these rims get stolen
@@rudysalas9138 like how Diamonds are
I drove one feel just like the f30 328i I had just front wheel drive
For what it is, the accord is pretty impressive. Imagine if they would’ve kept the coupe version..
I love my 18 year old coupe. I can't ever the last time I lost a race, granted I choose wisely.
They wanted to give the competition a chance 🤧
Yeah they screwed up not keeping the coupe even if they put the new gens front on it and kept the current years rear end i would not be mad at that! Lincoln did it with MKZ so why not. 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
I had a 12 v6 coupe which I gave up for a 19 2.0t accord…..wish Honda still offered it.
It wouldn’t sell. That’s why it was canceled in the first place.
I have a 2010 2.4L Accord, no turbo but VTEC. It runs like mad! Realy beautifull cars. When I travel, nobody stops it on the climbs, it has incredible strength and power.
i too, have a 2010 accord 2.4… it’s veryyyyy slow 😂😂 but reliable
@@peterouuushould have got the v6 3.5l
This is what i came here for and you guys delivered... Thank You.
AWD gave the Acura the jump off the line, but after that the added weight and drag actually contribute to slowing it down. At least that is the story I see told in all of these runs. 😁
Agree.
Yep. When the guy says what just happened? 600lb is what just happened.
I have the 2018 Accord Sport 2.0t with manual and it’s a blast to drive for what it is.
How many mpg do u get? Has it been reliable?
I get from 20mpg in city and up to 40mpg on highway. It all depends how I drive it. As for reliability, no issues in over 50k miles. I had to replace a dead battery, get new tires, and change battery on key fob. No major issues.
@@socalmrt Thanks for the info, hope the car treats u well!
I have the same car love it can't wait until warranty is up so I can tune it. I hear you can get about 400 pounds of torque out of it.
Didn't realize they made a 6MT! Do you know if they still make it? Or was it eventually phased out?
2:50 “Holy Crap!!” This is one of the reasons we keep coming back Sam 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 very entertaining videos
LOVE the way the rims on the accord look!
yup, its' the only thing that saves the car. Otherwise it is the ugliest Accord in history. Worse rear end ever. Go look at anything without those wheels on it...awful.
@@GoofieNewfie that’s your opinion, not everyone agree with u
@@GoofieNewfie the rear end does look a little off. It’s okay looking though
@@GoofieNewfie Steve you're just a jealous hater that's all😁😁😁😁😁🤣
The Accord is hideous
Amazing. I love that. Money won’t always buy speed and manufacturers know it.
Speed also doesn't mean sporty or performance nor would it make a good sports car.
@@BN99239 the accord handles excellently. Way more than enough for public roads
@@John.Christopher It's okay but definitely not excellent. It's just a family sedan. It's good at what it's meant to do but I wouldn't call it an excellent car for sporty driving. I don't mean that it can't handle aggressive driving around windy roads, I mean that it doesn't do it as well as an M2, Golf R, Veloster N, 911, etc.
@@BN99239 a 911? And an M2? Come on man both are 3 to 6 times the price 🤣 If you drive it into a corner faster than it can handle you're probably driving pretty wrecklessly. For street driving it's perfect. I'd love to see it with a tune
@@John.Christopher Well you didn't mention anything about price lol. My point is that there are way better cars out there. The Accord is decent but don't make it out to be all that lol
Accord is one hell of a beauty and a beast
Man all of these honda accord drag races i've been watching lmao...i've never been more proud to own a 2019 2.0t accord haha.
Good for you bro it really is an awesome all around quick sedan.
Same. You gotta watch SSDRacer's videos if you haven't already seen every one of them.
yeah I got the EXLl 2.0 T and I love it .
Acceleration = Force/Mass.
Force is about the same, less mass in the Accord -> higher acceleration.
TLX jumps earliers because of AWD, as soon as Accord has enough traction, being FWD becomes an advantage for Accord because of powertrain losses in the TLX.
No way! Finally some real mechanics and not guessing like the other comments from these stupid ass fanatic “car guys.”
Correct, I'm not sure why Sam is so surprised of the result. The TLX is several pounds heavier.
@@TheBreakfastLover even when you know a car is faster it still takes you by surprise when you’re experiencing it first hand.
@@drivescene6747 I disagree, I fully expected the TLX to get off the line quicker thanks to AWD traction, then the Accord to pass it thanks to a better power-to-weight ratio. It's simple physics, and exactly what happened.
@@TheBreakfastLover I’m not disputing that. I’m simply saying when you’re in the driver’s seat it’s different than watching the video on RUclips
That 10 speed on that Accord is the real MVP here
I'm pretty sure the 2.0t tlx has same transmission
@EgguEd51
It does. Both have the same engine and transmission. But there's a 700 pound weight difference between them in favor of the Accord. That's huge.
@StormAutoAdventures yea I knew that, if you look I was responding to the guy saying 10spd is what made the difference in race. That comment makes no sense since they both share same transmission..
By the 4th run, buddy with the TLX started getting annoyed. His face said it all…😂😂
I guess I kinda understand but honestly if I had the money I would still go with the tlx over my accord despite the Acura being a tad slower.
@@astromoosie I’ve had 4th, 6th & 9th gen Accord. Now I have a 2014 RLX. Idk but I kinda miss my Accord sometimes. It felt more like a driving experience.
@@astromoosie hell no i just got a 2.0 touring and i was deciding to get the acura and even the sales guy said is overpriced and is really not that good looking in the interior, the accord is worth the money the TLX a spec is not
That's crazy. He's not even walking you. He's jogging by you as you walk.
The TLX it’s not a bad car not everything it’s about speed.. and if going fast it’s what your looking for than get it tuned.. those 2.0Ts are pretty easy to get it tuned!! Nice video as always! Keep up the hard work man! Thanks for the amazing videos!
To many of these young boys prefer to race everyone and anyone at a stop light lol they don’t care about the other amenities that the tlx has, as for me I love the tlx aspec awesome exterior and interior I wouldn’t want to kill the tranny or engine by drag racing anyone that’s what the accord is for.😜
@@tommy13965 agreed with you 💯%
@@tommy13965 very true.
Whatever makes u sleep at night grandpa 😂🤣 if you’re that worried just get u a mini van
@@fel1xxfel1xx60 how’s is he a grandpa. My TLX aspec break more necks than a accord would and gets me the baddies 😎
Im so proud of my 2020 honda accord silver bullet 2.0t..its this kind of videos that's scaring faster cars that we know from racing me when i get to a stop light with them on my way to work heheh💪..love my car...thks for vids...keep it up guys
Good race car?
Same results as the Kia K5 & the Acura. Though the Acura is too heavy, that’s very impressive for the accord however since the Acura has more Horsepower, Torque, and AWD. The K5 has more torque and horsepower than the Accord & the Accord did just as well against the Acura as it did, the Accord 2.0T is a beast.
No on cares the acura is still nice
@@Yondaily Lol ok.
@@Yondaily yup I chose the tlx aspec the interior is just much nicer with ambient lighting and awd.
The TLX's additional 20hp and 7lb-ft is negated by the additional 500+ lbs curb weight, not to mention the additional drivetrain losses that come with SH-AWD. While the TLX is dynamically better in handling than the Accord thanks to the double-wishbone suspension and torque-vectoring rear axle, neither of those help with acceleration and actually make the car heavier. The FWD TLX 2.0T is quicker than the AWD model.
Yep and the K5 beats the Accord
I owned a 2018 Accord Sport 2.0t, and now 2021 TLX A-Spec AWD. The accord felt faster, livelier and more nimble but everything else goes to the TLX for driving experience. TLX grips harder, more planted in triple digits, chassis doesn't get unsettled in bumps both going straight and in corners, the AWD is friggin amazing. I never use the back seats so interior room doesn't matter.
Overall, the TLX is the better car, no question about that. The Accord of course is a perennial winner in its class. Honda Motors Corp (Acura a part of the). offers us some great choices here.
@@Snookynibbles not trying to discredit the Accord. The Accord is the better car for more people. I always said that Honda doesn't make a AWD Accord because it would eat up tons of Acura sales. Still belive it to be very true
The tlx chassis is completely different and far better than the accord. The accord is ok but has some major flaws that numbers don't show.
Oh shut up, you didn't own either you clown 🤡
@@Snookynibbles zip it you noob.
Love the acccord wheels when it rolling fast looks like sharp blade awesome
The key factor here is weight. I've surprised a lot of cars on the track with the little accord 2.0T. I would only upgrade it to the new Type S
You certainly have! I watch your races often so it’s pretty cool you’ve seen my Accord in action here 😆
This video definitely validated that for me, too. TLX Aspec would only be an upgrade if I cared about looks, and the AWD would be beneficial for the snow, but the Accord isn’t that bad looking either lol
yup is the weight,look at them new si 10th gen civic they be rolling quick when upgrade to bigger turbo or e85 blend on stock turbo.
THE X GEN LAUNCH LEGEND HIMSELF!!! Ha!
I have alerts turned on for new SSD videos... and annoy the hell out of my friends saying "look look look look he beats another car he shouldn't!!" Nice car, I have the exact same one. Team white pearl!
On January 8, 2022 I bought my (4th brand new Accord 1995, 1998, 2011, 2022) this time a Sports 2.0 and it has been the most exciting of all and after a month, the speed can’t stop to amaze me. Even if I was a millionaire, I would buy another Accord. There is something about them that I love.
And that’s why Honda ditched the 2.0T on the new Accord…
Why?
What? They are great motors. They’re stupid for getting rid of it
As a VW fanboy I’m duly impressed with the Accord. I’ve driven one and although it’s not as fast as my tuned GLI, it’s a midsize rocket for sure. Honda definitely knows what they’re doing…
My sister husband own a GLI and he call it the Black Wolf and yes it's fast
Earlier this year, I sold my '16 TLX V6 Advance and purchased a '20 Honda Accord Touring 2.0T. I loved my TLX and love my Accord too. To me, even though the Accord may be faster, it doesn't necessarily feel faster. The growl and grunt of the V6 certainly had a more powerful feel to it. While I am thoroughly enjoying my 2.0T Accord, I do miss some of the intangibles that the Acura brand offers along with the more premium feel. I want to get back into a TLX probably sometime in mid or late '22. However, I don't think the TLX 2.0T will satisfy me. I would definitely go with the Type S at this point. I know it won't be the fastest in its segment but it will be plenty to please me. The only thing that might throw a wrench in my plans is seeing what Honda is going to do with the '23 redesign of the Accord. If they juice up the power and performance on the Accord, say to match or exceed some of the latest offerings by Kia & Hyundai, it might be enough to persuade me to stay with the Honda nameplate. Otherwise, there will be a '22 Type S in my garage sometime next year.
I’d still go with the Type S it’s a beautiful car with a strong presence that really stands out on the road, and that’s just going by the A-Spec I seen can only imagine the Type S. Looks the best out of all the cars in its class imo.
I’m kinda the same like you but I sold my 16 TLX 2.4 for a 2020 Accord touring 2.0t, tlx interior definitely feels more premium even looks more premium
@@2A5X4A Aren't you loving the 2.0T Touring? I've had mine now for a little over 8 months and the more I drive it, the more I love it. Such a great car. Its faults are few in my opinion. It's nice looking but doesn't compare with the TLX in that category. The fuel tank is too small for the size of the car and the audio system is average at best. The TLX has an awesome sound system on the mid trims and up. But the driving experience of the Accord is very sweet. I have no regrets getting mine.
There’s nothing luxury about an Acura nowadays. Regular Hondas have the same or better. Have you seen an Acura TLX interior from 2015-2020? It sucks. Honda feels premium as compared.
My accord just barely dipped into the 12s and im still on stock turbo and 93. These cars are bananas. The engines a jem, but whoever geared and paired this transmission deserves a raise.
Bone stock, De-tuned Type R engine. I could only imagine how fast the Accord would be with a minor tune! I think more than enough for a fun daily, and at 14k cheaper - sheeesh
There's a video of one at the track racing a charger.
Check this guy out on RUclips according to joel, his accord pushing 500hp
There's people with a tune and little else running low to mid second 13's. Incredible.
What it would do is destroy that 10sp auto.
The stage 2 accord puts it as quick as a stock tlx type s. Stage 3&4 plus flex fuel makes it a even quicker.
I personally love 4 bangers people sleep on them and it’s so fun seeing their reaction. I’ve owned subaru sti and I’ve walked many other sti owners with a stock a4. Makes about identical horsepower and torque as this accord, but the awd and dual clutch gives it the upper hand. Love Honda’s!
Dude with the drone: GREAT WORK!
I always forget to comment this
The Accord 2.0 has shown to actually putting out more power than what it says. But it also weighs less than the TLX. So it winning is not a surprise. But the point of this test is to see which is faster. Lol. And for fun.
Accord 2.0T sport mode is like pumping nitrous. Replace 34lbs approx OEM wheels with 20lbs wheels and see the amazing difference.
Or just run in 1/8th tank and see the huge difference
@@thechannelflow7840 Have you guys been in a fast car before lol
I daily a 2.0t 6 speed. It's been a great car and can absolutely rip when you put the pedal down.
It might sound crazy but i think the Accord is like the McLaren 720S of the family sedan sector.
I was just thinking that 😂
🙌
I would love to see that Accord vs 2019+ RDX SH-AWD. A lot of people say that the RDX lunches harder!
I got one sitting in my driveway. The launch is pretty bad compared to the v6 from a few years back. Honestly my ilx launches better and its fwd.
4th generation accord aka cb7 in the building,great video men this accord is impressive
Nice video. Next, we need to see the TLX Type S race the 2.0 Accord.
I got a midnight edition accord sport.
All black emblems and 19 inch wheels. Blacked out everything. Awesome car
Can't wait to see the type S
Hopefully it's faster than the accord 2.0t 🤣
Why are u going to buy it?
Type s is still slow, cars that are not 10 sec are slow
I think it's going to disappoint
Grammar left the chat
I drove an Accord Touring, the 10 speed transmission just launches the car so perfect.
I have a 2020 2.0t touring with a jb4 engine tune including a K&N intake. Then added front strut tower brace, and stiffer engine mounts up front for better launches. Better then stock rubber with one size bigger and it’s very quick once you get the front to hook up. Such a great sleeper and doesn’t break the bank. Now give me an accord with the Acura SHAWD and now were talking Honda!!!! Great reviews.
I just bought the 2021 2.0T
I made a good decision 😌
Outdoor Layne lol have you ever driven one?
@Outdoor Layne You right it could use an LSD but for a fwd car it hardly torque steers my guy. My 2021 2.0t rides great and for a family sedan handles better then most of the comp out there. Great car
At the end of the day, it’s still a comfortable 4 door sedan first
@@devonaudibert1459 I own an Accord Touring 2.0t and you're right, there is almost no torque steer and the handling is pretty good for a fwd car. There is some wheelspin though with all this power on the front wheels but that's to be expected, a good set of tires can improve that wheelspin. Love my Accord! Still excited to drive it after 3 years!
you will see when you will have problems 🤣
Accord is like sporty man disguised in suit like a neat clean businessman
its weight totally makes difference
Yes it does but remember acura has a bigger engine that supposed to output more power
@@elintocable1990 nope, same engine - Honda's K20C in both the Accord & TLX.
Supposedly the TLX has a higher state of tune at 272hp & 280lb/ft vs the Accord's 252hp & 273lb/ft, but the TLX is a far heavier car at the end of the day which made the difference.
@@Trades46 , there is no way 400 pounds would make a 2 plus car difference. It's just the accord is tuned better from the factory.
@@jesseyanvari8873 400lbs is a decent amount of weight.
@@drivecfl , it's not gonna make a huge difference. I have a sound system in my accord and weighs close to 300 pounds with custom box and speakers in it with the amps. I've ran it with and without and does 13.5 without and 13.7 with it in.....like I said it's not a huge difference.
The 10 speed on Accord really does magic!
The 10 speed in the accord is tuned better IMO. It’s clear Acura was focused on smooth power delivery and not performance
Agreed. Many folks miss the fact that the Accord 2.0T is built to replace their top end Accord V6 whereas the TLX 2.0T is built to replace the old TLX 2.4. Going back a generation, the 9G Accord V6 would run circles around the 1G TLX 2.4 as well.
@@MidnightAspec that’s 100% true.
Well, the Accord 2.0T Sport is the most "sporty" variant of the Accord (even says so on the car's name). The TLX A-spec is mainly a cosmetic package for the normal TLX, but the "real" performance variant is the upcoming TLX Type S with the 3.0T engine.
@@Trades46 so you want to put 50k against 30k 2 b fair lol?
@@occckid123 I think you read into that a bit.
The 10th generation Accord is the best Accord ever made. Honda did a damn good job on that thing.
Can you do Arteon vs TLX?
So... 2 cars ahead of you 😉
I think it's so nice to making drag race with this two cars (Kia K5 VS Honda accord)
Done
That 2019 generation accord is legendary
10th generation accord!!!
I took my '17 SHAWD Advanced V6 TLX and added XLR8 exhaust and Jpipe,and Rv6 HFC'S....and short ram intake...lowered with RSR Sport Coilovers and upgraded tires....Cant wait to add the MDX type S to my line up and build it out too!!!
This was fun to watch. Dollar-for-dollar, the Accord wins in a drag race. Maybe it would be different in a slalom or racetrack, but in a flat out drag race, the Accord wins. Somewhat surprising to me, but it is what it is. As far as the added cost of the Acura, I’m now debating whether it’s worth it unless you live in an area where you really really need AWD. Thanks for a great video.
Choosing between the two based upon linear acceleration as your primary criteria is IMO silly. This review is a joke. Go to a Honda & then an Acura dealer to sort it out. You’ll see the TLX is the better car. And odds-on it will out-handle the Accord as well; Acura chassis are better tuned.
I mean a 2.0 touring I'd pretty well equipped
Yea after i bought my 21 accord sport 2.0t few weeks ago i can see why everyone talked so good about this motor car is way faster than i thought it would without even trying I get up quick and handling is smooth
Can y’all please do Nissan Altima 2.0t vs Accord 2.0t no one has done that yet
Now me and you both know the Honda is going to win for sure .💀 that cvt and its fake shifts are going to cause it to lose . Dont get me wrong tho i love my nissans

@@rmonroe135 true
@@rmonroe135 A lot of people forget the Altima has a turbo option.
The accord will spank the Nissan all day.
Weren't you going to do a TLX 1st gen vs Accord? I saw a teaser thumbnail 1 month ago but never saw that video. :(
Sleeper Accord 👍❤️ because of the Type R motor in it 👍
The TLX has the same motor aswell just coz of awd and more weight it's slower
@@FB6K24Z7 yeah but that’s pretty bad you’re paying extras 10k on the top trim of the tlx and you still getting gapped by the top trim accord& the TLX isn’t evn tht nice interior wise
@@eduardofindlay4518 thats why you don't buy a TLX A-spec if you want power get the Type-S with the turbo V6
Ohhhh the accord pulls on this from a roll very similar to the way the tlx type s does. Your new vid
im literally about to trade in my 1.5t and own a 2.0t sport for life, i got winter tires for them so should I? haha
Also me, will make the 2.0t crank out 350ish+ hp
that’s why 2.0 sport is bang for your buck 👍🏻 love it
That Honda is a rocket 😅 that turbo 4 borrowed from the civic is a beast
The type R only not the regular si
Big brother just got own by little brother all days long. LOL GO ACCORD!!
Great video.
So go Acura for luxury and accord if you prioritize performance. Both are great cars.
That pretty Accord Sport had the Accord Touring trim tail lights. Was confusing at first. Fun to watch.
In Canada the Sport Trim has the full LED lights
A FWD TLX might have been a bit closer but that turned out as expected. The TLX is a heavy beast. I actually considered the Accord Touring prior to opting for my A-Spec FWD. (I'm sure Honda corporate doesn't want to hear that.) Drag racing not withstanding, the TLX is a nicer ride overall and makes up for it when it comes to handling. That said, mad respect for the Accord 2.0T; as it punches above it's weight, I'm interested in seeing how it stands up to the TLX Type S. I bet the difference is not that great.
No available in Canada
@@SamCarLegion Interesting decision by Honda but, I suppose it makes sense north of the border. (I'm am surprised that they wouldn't at least offer an entry level base model 2.0T up there.) Anyway my FWD is about a 'half step or so' behind my old 19 TLX 3.5 PAWS (base), which itself was roughly as quick as a stock Accord 2.0T. Great videos, keep up the good work.
The 2022 TLX A-SPEC FWD is faster than the 2.0 accord.... nice race but the TLX fwd was faster.....
Accord 2.0 a beast! I wonder how the lighter current generation Fwd TLX would stack up to the accord. I think it would be a closer race
I think Honda is underrating the HP , I think its like 280 flywheel HP than 252 flywheel hp
Ha! That's literally the exact number. They make 236/272 at the wheel so roughly 280hp/310tq at the crank.
@@bhoffman8984 ...I saw that video where the guy puts it on the Dyno machine...does 3 tests...and came up with those numbers...
Honda can put type R engine there. It’s gonna be really fast. But in that case they will kill type R sales.
I considered getting the Accord, and I knew it was faster than the TLX, but I wanted a car with a great sound system. I got the TLX A Spec, and I love it.
😆 🤣
Can't wait to get this engine and a 6MT installed in my CRZ...
really wonder if the boost tune is different between them if you just got an off the shelf for the tlx if it would do the same thing
Thanks for using a 2.0t sport. It's definitely the fastest out of the accord lineup.
Faster than a touring 2.0? I've heard mixed things about them. Some ppl say that the touring is a bit heavier due to all the extra luxury, others say that it is tuned slightly different than the sport and it makes more hp. I'd like to know if anyone has actually raced them
@@se-basscordoba6247 I have a 2020 2.0t sport. I have taken it to my local 1/4 mile track and have raced several touring owners. My sport always runs a couple of tenths quicker than the tourings. I would say it's all contributed to the weight savings.
@@MrRide2Live2Day it comes down to what the drivers had for dinner.... Touring driver had the 16oz prime rib with all the fixings Sport driver went thru the drive thru at subway and got the six inch. Of course the touring is going to weigh more 😉
@@MrRide2Live2Day which tires were you on? Also, what tires were they running? I first got the sport 2.0 and exchanged it 2 days later for the touring. I couldn't stand a 2020 car not having some basic features... (I guess I'm spoiled) the sport came with sticky pirellies and the touring came with the Michelling xgreen (fuel saving) tires. Of course the sport 2.0 seemed faster, but once I put decent tires on mine, everything changed. I've done basic drag races with sport owners and I always seem to pull quicker and stay about a half car ahead. That being said, I haven't track it nor taken it to a proper drag strip like you have.
@@se-basscordoba6247 my car has the pirellies. I'm going to eventually switch them out to a nitto 555 g2 in a 245 width. I will say that I almost purchased a touring, but in the end, I really couldn't stand the extra chrome accents. I was wanting a more "sporty" look.
Honda put a hell of an engine and transmission in that Accord. Now they just gave us shit with the new one.
Every review I've read says the Accord is a great car.
Yep that’s why i can’t wait to get my 17 accord sport v6 😁
I wouldn't get the Accord with the 1.5 liter turbo engine though. That engine had oil delusion problems in the past. Honda may have addressed this issue already but I still don't trust that engine in the long run.
Would be interesting comparing the accord to is350 and infinity q50, see if it's bang for the buck
These are two totally different classes of car and times have changed, the gap in speed between regular sedans and luxury sedans has been closing. The fact the top model Accord can outrun cars in a higher class like the base 5 series and E class doesn't mean it's a better car necessarily, although nthe Accord is ULTRA impressive. Same for the TLX, it's a better car and weight from luxury features, AWD drivetrain losses, and extra features are the trade off for the loss in acceleration. These aren't drag cars.
No one ever said these were drag cars, the majority of the cars featured in this channel aren't. That's not the point, it's all about who is faster, that simple.
For the car enthusiast, which most of us are, once one establishes performance superiority over the other, we question the value of the features you refer to. If you can only have one car, your choices get tougher.
yeah I think we all know and get that.
Can you do the 2.0t accord vs 9g 6-6 accord coupe
they should have did an direct swap of the type r engine to the shawd models of the tlx.. its too heavy to not have the power
Exactly or at the very least 290-300HP version of it for the extra weight.Of course then it would be even harder on gas vs the outgoing v6
@@GoofieNewfie yeah.. but with the rlx gone it would have made sense.. they should have made the base have this engine the shawd have a 300hp type r engine.. then the type s.. it would make the selling point that much better.. now if you want a faster car you get the accord..
Would you buy a Type S if the base model had 300hp? I wouldn’t.
@@eriknephrongfr8847 well that's the next issue.. the aspec should have been the type s level.. and the type s should have had the 3.0 turbo plus hybrid from the nsx.. pushing it passed 400hp.. plus having a sick 0-60
@@GoofieNewfie TLX has Type R engine. It's a detuned version.
Love the drag races, would love to see some best times for these and all the vehicles you race.
Whats the point in buying any other car when you can just get a 10th generation Accord 2.0 sport.
Depending if you like other brands like Kia,Hyundai,Genesis and Toyota
Well, not everyone cares about speed on a daily driver, especially if they drive/travel a lot. There are better cars out there for this part. I for example, don't care at all if my DD does 0-60 in 4.5 seconds or 6 seconds. Now my weekend/fun car that I take to our local track, yes I care.
@@drones9667 i aint talking bout speed the car is beautiful and affordable as well as spacious.
@@sunsetvest3048 Yep everyone has their own opinion. Personally for a family car I think the Camry or K5 looks better and the K5 is faster too
@@vroomgc 😂😂😂😂 more power to you, but neither 1 of those cars turn heads like the accord 2.0 with the sport rims on it.
I'm curious. I have an Acura cl type s. 260ph. Granted I "may" have an advantage due to displacement. But I'm just curious. Not saying I'd walk it in a race. There is an old saying, "there is no replacement for displacement". Look at the 2011 Acura TL SH AWD. 305hp. Not bashing, just food for thought.
Accord sounds like it's hittin' the afterburners...
I have the same Accord, and leave people in the dust. It's no car, it's a toy. A very fast and fun toy.
Looks like the Accords boost really kicked in while yours didn't
Is this according to 2020 or 2021 model? It’s so craaazyyyy
The way Honda geared the 10-speed it's very quick off the line for having an open differential. I do wish it had the limited slip another good car to look at is the new KIA K5 GT or the Hyundai sonata N line... BADASS cars I'm going to go look at those and see how they compare to my Accord
accord will spank both
@@jonp2338 no it won't K5 gt is a beast
@@honda116969 i work for kia and they have massive traction problems off the line u gotta know how to drive it same with sonata
@@jonp2338 oh yeah I bet it spins the wheels like a mofo lol. Kinda fun imo, I tuned my Accord & if I give it a little too much gas it'll start squeaking the tires pretty good make everybody around you look at you like you're an idiot 4 just trying to have a lil fun.🤪 I'm just impressed with what Kia did it's a bigger motor 0.5L than the Accord it's got the same gas mileage as the Accord yet it makes about 40hp more & 35tq more... I don't even know if my Accord makes that much power being tuned, I Think my 🚗💨 is about 275hp & 305tq. Kia is pretty damn impressive! Imo. All things being said I think the Accord is a better car a better chassis 4 sure, reliability would probably go to Honda but I don't think Kia is even far behind on reliability. Kia has been doing some races with the little Veloster N against the Civic type R & it kicks the shit out of the Honda on those racing circuits! And the series I was watching it was damn near a stock block just bolt-ons & shit
Was thinking about giving in my 2.0 for a tlx aspec for the features and red seats but damn
Started looking frustrated by the 4th race 😂
This Accord is loooong overdue. We should have had an Accord like this 20 years ago.
Crazy how Acura customer's have to spend all that money to go to the Type S to be faster than the Accord.
Well Acura and Honda are the same the only reason why I like Acura’s more is they are built a little better the quality feels better and they come AWD I think that’s why the Acura lost is more heavy then the FWD Honda but I love ❤️ both cars
We make money. Enough said.
This channel is awesome! All the critical facts are shown first. I appreciate that.
Welcome :)
Can u do a maxima please against the accord even match up I tell u
Buy which car is "smoother" and more "refined" ride? Cabin noise, NVH?
Knew the outcome just from the thumbnail. Acura should be ashamed cause this makes no sense as far as Acura being the supposed premium Honda brand.
Yeah it's not like infinitis make their sedans slower than nissans. Acura for the price should be quicker
@@andrewthach1989 Exactly. Still a great car but man if I pull up on an Accord, Sonata N or K5 GT I shouldn't have an issue forcing them to admire my wide rear fenders and "precision crafted " taillights🤣
work.. the base model of the tlx should have that engine.. but the shawd one should have a direct port of the type r engine
Well you do know that Toyota did the same with its rav4 prime right.
The new TLX base engine replaces the 2.4 TLX with 206hp and this new accord 2.0t replaces the 3.5 v6 Accord. The top engine Accord was always faster than the base TL/TLX, this is nothing new, Acura has nothing to be ashamed about.
Makes sense. 20hp and 7tq difference. Line loss through awd components and 400lb weight difference. I wonder how they compare on a track?
I WANT TO SEE THE ACCORD 2.0T vs THE 2021 ACURA TLX TYPE S!!!!!!!!!!
We all want
Cant wait to see that race
When is the accord 2.0 T vs tlx type s video coming?
Everyone is forgetting that Acura is not the performance brand of Honda, but the luxury brand! Either way, everyone wins with the fuel efficient 2.0T engine 😎
Acura is considered to be more performance based than Honda, that’s why AWD isn’t available in the Accord but it is in the TLX. That’s why it’s a TLX Type S and not a Accord Type-R. Does the NSX not exist? Acura is supposed to be the more premium and performance car.
@@limitedreach4446 technically it’s all Honda, but in North America they made a separate brand, Acura.
But damn, I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings. Didn’t have to be so defensive about it.
@@ProjectBaggedRice No one’s feelings are hurt, lol. 🤣Just saying that Acura is definitely more performance dedicated than Honda.
Type R and Si are perfomance for Honda And no type r can and deff 100% no Si will even come close to the NSX or what the Type S will be.Acuras deff offer faster cars but at a hefty price tag.Honda is alot of bang for buck tho but Acuras for years have offered more powerful car options.They are the same brand and use the same shit but when they want to make a really fast car thel usually send it to Acura .The Civic Type R is Hondas rocket and thats still 45hp short of the Type S...Acuras problem is they are luxury like Lexus so they are always gonna be heavier .Type r vs type s in a drag race the tlx will win by alot for sure but from a roll that will be interesting for sure.
@@limitedreach4446 that’s fair! It’s just weird now because even the non luxury brands are packed full of luxury features. That’s why I bought a 2019 Accord 2.0. Besides the AWD, and aesthetics, what really sets it apart from the new TLX?
