Not everyone cares about a car that will drive and handle well, putting a DCT, and 10 spd in a car is not cheap and the buyer’s pocket will notice that.

That’s when zf8 speed comes in play it is the best automatic ever to this date ! Most high performance cars / trucks use it! Including new Supra, Hellcats/demons / track hawks/ new m5/m4/m3 and more!

@@HD_Kerino Oh completely agree…. That’s how we end up with the environment we have now where manufacturers can’t agree on which transmission to put in their own models let alone what they should have as competition to their rivals. Cost is THE major factor for most cars so I completely understand why civics and nissans come with CVTs…. And in theory a CVT should be perfect from a performance perspective…. And in 10-20 years maybe CVTs will be light years better but if I had to guess gasoline engines and all the fancy advances in transmissions will be the equivalent of the new technology that was showing up in horse buggies right before cars came out. (None of this is going to matter in 20-40years with electric antonymous drones/cars on the horizon)

the hp is not measured on the dyno so it is not that accurate i bet the 2.0T makes more power than the v6 ever did

@@gsrjaycee4521 07 race against the accord would be interesting.

AWD weight vs FWD weight, this TLX is still 600 lbs heavier than the Accord...

I Don't know, maybe because the other car has forced induction? Plus the J Series 3.5L is not a DOHC engine and only has VTEC on the intake side. My Honda Element AWD has an engine swapped from a Acura TSX and N/A tuned for 300 HP. If the Element wasn't so heavy, I could possible take on both cars.

I don't think it has vtec. Only the type r does.

@@applepoop10 true but forced induction is kinda just unfair. With a stage 2 tune and some mods this car would walk whatever NA V6 is out there. I have mine at 310whp and 330wtq weighing at 3298lbs

Yeah I had a 2017 accord v6 and that thing is a monster, gearing is perfect imo. Now have the 2020 2.0t accord and it’s impressive but I fee like the v6 accord would launch harder

@@dominicjeanb2063 my 2015 was plenty quick. From a 20 or a 50, it was deceivingly quick (for what it is). Quicker than my J37 swapped Type S. I think the 2.0T shines after 60 but would still be interesting to see.

2.0T is quicker, if you watch Redline review, he shows a race between the 2.

Its out there, the 2.0T takes ir

@@blackwhirlwind1245 yeah that was at higher altitudes though.

I love the V6 manual coup’s from those years. Nice cars.

I think the results will be the same but the gap wouldn’t be as big

Is the 13-17 6 speed coupe faster than the 08 6 speed coupe??

@@edmondvuong 6MT V6 is considerably quicker than TLX. Even the 6AT V6 is quicker.

Guys, the auto is quicker than the manual. Lol.

I had a 06 fusion in 08 and nobody knew what it was and I threw some 20's on it and I miss it.

Yeah. Agreed. I like this version of the TLX 2020 A spec better than the current type S. Type S is waaay to overpriced and is weaker compared to competition.

Definitely would not of taken the W, but at least would’ve put up a fight. The rims make a difference, but not drastic enough to make the TLX win because the races weren’t close.

@@Anakin0217 I timed before and after with lightweight rims and got half second quicker 0-60 with Dragy, that's a huge difference imo. So, definitely helps off the line, but not a huge difference on a roll.

It would’ve been closer but he still would’ve lost

My Turbo Verloster vs those cars

Lol

Pretty much neck to neck when I’m racing my 2.0t against my boys tlx base, we start from a roll 40mph

He does have aftermarket rims maybe heavier?

To be fair, a current gen BMW 330i, Genesis G70 2.0T, and Mercedes C300 would also lose to the Accord. So a previous gen TLX losing to an Accord isn't a big shocker.

@@TheBreakfastLover I think the BMW would be pretty much even match.

@@garys2157 Sam already raced the Accord vs the 330i xDrive. The Honda won 2 of the dig races and *all* the roll races. The Bimmer edged ahead in a dig race when traction control was disabled.

@@precisionmotors more like downgrade

You want a 4200lb luxury sport sedan to beat competitors 500 lbs less is obviously not going to happen… but to say the car has no performance because it’s not beating it’s competitors with more horsepower is kind of saying the NSX has no performance because it can’t beat its competitors lmao and there’s performance in the Type S but Acura knows people will tune the car once bought so why would they waste the resources to do so themselves… they don’t need the extra propaganda because they know when to compete and when to chill… TLX is a chill car… you want a quick luxury sedan for 60k go with Kia or Lexus

You could argue anyway you want but if Acura released a car that can't beat any of its competition, honestly that's sad. Especially the Type S. It's definitely the performance version of its lineup, but it just can't win a drag race. I bet you the Type R (lighter but with much smaller engine) would likely walk the Type S in 1/2 mile even with FWD launch issue. Accord has proven to beat any TLX A Spec effortlessly. I'm pretty sure Civic hatch touring would also walk the top ILX model. So to say that Acura is the performance division of Honda just sounds WRONG. Perhaps it should say Acura is the Luxury division of Honda. LOL. Tuning? So if u tune your Type S and ppl are tuning their cars, most likely they Type S will get smoked again. How about their approach they have on the new Integra (going back to its roots???), The new design is heavily inspired by the old Integra? Really?? Unfortunately NONE of what they said made sense to me. The Integra prototype would've been perfect if it was the new gen ILX. Don't get me wrong, I used to be an Acura fan and had many Acuras in the past. But as time goes, I think Acura has been really DISAPPOINTING, and I'm not the only one disappointed. Not sure what their visions are. But all I can say is Good Luck to Acura.

It basically a type R already k20c4 is close to k20c1

I would love to to that!

You can get more luxury options in the Acura.

@@fredeb67 I guess… Considering that Honda isn’t that basic with their interiors anymore…

@@brenttitus2134🧢 v6 gets him off the line easy but the the 2.0T comes back and takes it in the end. Simple math. V6 and higher displacement vs turbo lag and smaller engine with better low end torque and a near 250lb weight advantage (120ish for a 2.0 Touring) 🤷🏾‍♂️💯📠
