a TSX and an Sti cant even be compared. Besides the difference in look, the STi outpeforms the TSX in every example.

i could care less if a people mover has 100hp or 200hp or 300hp, as long as it does it's job reasonably well. that's why there are sports cars and theree are accords/camries. i'd rather get the tsx over the v6 accord.

Why is it that everyone around here thinks that a V6 will make any and every car a fat houch? Last time I checked, a Honda V6 is only a 150 lbs more than a 4 cylinder. ohhhh, big deal.

150 pounds if that is indeed the weight diff is a very big deal.

try driving around with a passenger and notice how the performance is affected. and since it's in the engine it'll make the car unbalanced.

But the engine will give the car a lot more power. A fat chick is just dead weight.

It's not just the weight but where it's located. Unless you make your fat chicks sit in the rumble seat, their weight is located somewhere near the center of the car.

With the cars we are discussing the weight is out if front of the front axel making already nose heavy FF cars even more so. With these cars already suffering from terminal understeer, anything than car reduce that tendency helps the handling considerably.
