The car should at the very least push 400HP. That would be a great starting point for the Acura. I daily drive a Nissan Maxima SR which has 300HP and weighs 600LBS less than the Acura. So I’m assuming power to weight is pretty similar which is a shame for the TLX.

[@kevinbreese5739]

I was surprised how well the G70 kept up with the 340i in the roll race. From a dig, the main difference is that Genesis nerfs the launch to prevent parts from breaking, namely the transmission. They are concerned with this not just for the customer, but also because of their 10/100k warranty :) On a side note, I think the G70 looks better than an M340i, and the TLX looks the best, but all really nice looking and performing vehicles. Personally I own a G70 3.3T AWD Sport Prestige, and I'm very happy with it for the money. Came very close to buying a TLX Type S, but simply didn't want the slowest car in it's league, and I mainly decided against the M340i because I was worried about expensive maintenance and long term problems. Ultimately decided on the G70 as it was the best bang for the back, all things considered. One final note on the G70 is that, for $2k you can swap the ecu with a LAP3 ecu and gain 100rwhp plus better launches. The car CAN handle this no problem. It's very much detuned from the factory and has a lot of potential.

Still take the much nicer better sounding tlx it's still plenty fast but it's also still a Honda and is way more reliable than the rest. No brainer.

[@JayRM714]

I love the m340i because of the B58, but lets be real here. You slap a tune on that G70 and the outcome would be the opposite... Thats a 20k difference between these two cars at which the G70 can be modified without really even putting a dent in your bank account with a pretty massive increase in power...

[@Eric-fz7on]

That B58 is epic and reliable!

[@TrungLe-tb2jj]

For the TLX Type S, are you driving it on Sport + on S mode (without using paddle shifters) or Sport + on D mode? it makes a difference

[@commonduck10]

I think most people take 340i

It at least sounds better than the Genesis. Genesis is not even trying to be even a little rowdy.

Acura TLX Type S is the best looking car out of all of them!! 😎🔥

Acura really needs to do something and boost up that HP. 355 simply isn't cutting it. At least 375 to 400hp is needed to be at the same bracket as the rest.

[@mattwatlington7312]

Even with less power and more weight, its obvious that Acura is onto something since moving away from FWD "sports sedans". Find a way to lose 400 lbs and it would be an awesome 3 series alternative
