Would have been better if you spelled the topic title correctly... ;P

I'm sure the TSX weighs less, so I think it would probably win.

If they are both automatic trannys, then I can see it, but I still think the 6 speed TSX will beat the IS250.

Just because the IS250 isn't fast doesn't make the question irrelevant.

For example, I had a 1987 Regal 3.8l that would lose to most pedestrians, but it didn't stop me from wondering...

I raced a black Regal of the same year and it crushed me. I mean, who'd a thunk a color could make that big of a difference?

Not to mention, don't assume he's going to race on the street. Lots of people have tracks near them.

go buy a street bike if you want to go fast....... just make sure if you race you are the only one that gets killed.

two of my friends were seriously injured by some retards who thought thier civics were fast, t-boned them and really messed up two peoples lives. Good thing the driver of one of the civics is paralyized from the neck down, one less idiot on the road.

Dont be happy about other people misfortune! karma has a tendencing of kick you back in the family jewels when you least expect it. just wish good luck to others and you will see results.

ps. i hope your friends and the civic driver recover ok.

YES!!! The first time i took my 250 on the track surprised me at how balanced the car fealt during high speed corners. Now that i have the pro kits along with the x pkg sport suspension, the car feels much firm while retaining its "stock" ride quality.

ROFL, course he crushed you, he had the T-Type

*no way i'd race a T-Type in a straight line with my 350*

2. TSX 6MT vs IS250 6MT
