For the longest time it was all about power to weight ratio… and it still is to a point but this is the era of transmissions. Used to be a debate of manual vs automatic and it wasn’t even hardly a debate as manuals have almost always traditionally been faster but now you’ve got CVT vs DCT vs 8&10speed torque converter transmissions and they’re making all the difference in outcomes in races.

I’m personally more of a fan of the DCTs and 10 speeds, I think they should be the industry standard going forward.

You’ve literally hit the nail on the head on this one brother, been waiting so long!! 🐐🤙🤝

[trevyrgeronimo]

I’ve been wanting to see this drag for a while, but it’s no surprise that the accord took this that 2.0t with Vtec is a monster

the TLX AWD adds alot weight, but handling is apples to oranges. I've driven many Accords and TL/TLX over the last twenty years, and nothing compares with the handling of the AWD system on those Acura's. Straight line speed, the Honda is lighter, but I've taken a TLX on a mountain twisting road and never felt threatened on what speed I was going and left many cars behind. Lastly, the AWD in bad weather like rain and snow is crazy good.

Accord is gonna win of course Type R badge = 31HP and Black fuel door = 29HP!

[Calwinn]

Always wondered how different the previous TLX A-Spec would do against the Accord 2.0T - awesome stuff (close but not that close indeed)

[andraeneal]

I luv my accord 2.0t! I'm happy to see it win a race here from time to time!

[persiashahdi]

The TLX gen 1 actually had the ZF 9 speed.

still waiting on the fusion sport vs some of these rides!! thanks for posting, Sam

[racing-proof]

A 13-17 accord v6 coupe manual would be an interesting race to see Sam . nontheless great content as always 🔥

[msrr]

If the TLX had the final drive from the Pilot and MDX, it would be quicker. That direct injected V6 is music.

[samarllimited]

Still patiently waiting for the accord vs c class

[shabanajannik]

At this point ACURA should compete with bicycles...

[kulls]

Finally!!! Been waiting for this specific video for soooo long! Thanks Sam

[erasmolopez]

I've been waiting for this video for the longest.. thank u sam

I miss my 2018 accord but now I have Acura RDX. Accord is the best sport sedan under $4k

[xgi]

That Honda 10 speed putting in some work 👌

[RevsALot]

Unless those are lightweight aftermarket rims, he made it slower by putting heavier bigger rims on the TLX. Probably could've taken the W, or been very close.

[CobbGx]

I'm be honest last gens TLX has a better design would have been dope to see a type s model

[fresh]

You are always putting out great content Sam!!
