Front and Rear power limits??

[cooperluke]

Yesterday drove a Smart Brabus Forfour with 177bhp and it put the power on the ground, even in wet, so I get near 250bhp.

More than that, and you can't use all the power you have unless you have LSD and Slicks.

I've driven a TL type S with a Supercharger and other goodies and that thing was planted to the ground. Zot09: nice choice on the TSX but I would have waited till next year for the supposed V6 and I can get a new TL 6-speed with the LSD and Brembos for the price of a TSX.

So i'm guessing that you work for an Acura dealership? Nice! What kind of discount do you get? A TL w/ a LSD and Brembos sounds sweet! You S.O.B lol j/k So where did you hear about the supposed V6?

yeah I'm an apprentice for an Acura Dealer so I get cars at dealer cost and parts at 5% over cost. The news about a proposed V6 was in our Insider newsletter a few weeks ago. And the new Turbo 4 cylinder going into the new RDX might be available in the RSX aswell...

I've had a go in a few relatively powerful FWD cars, and occasionally I find that when you approach 250hp, the front begins to get very wobbly. Probably can be fixed with fine tuning the suspension, tires, etc... but still, a bit disconcerting.

I'm at 340whp right now...It's a bitch to keep in a straight line and the tires don't grip until 4th.

And isn't 4th about where your governor kicks in...

My governor should be at 65...I'd pay a lot less for insurance.
