I was crusing around and i see an accord coupe on a kit speeding up on my right lane...so i floored it and he went ahead me...i caught up and was pulling slowly ahead at about 80 mph but there was a 3rd gen max in front of me and i had to brake. I got behind him and caught up to him again~!...how fast are they?....it was v6.

slow...they are slow... my sister has one with a full exhaust system and a CAI and i would say it ran high 15's to low 16's. they are extremely slow off the line but do well at high rpms, but its only 4 gears and an auto. what can you say?

That image of a modded Accord you put in your sig line looks sweet -- what the Acura Legend Coupe SHOULD have looked like! Is that an authentic styling kit, or just a mocked up image?

Theyre about as quick as auto max's but slower than Manual max (they have 200hp) and get to 60 in mid 7's

its acutally a prototype for the new RL sports series or somthing like that, dont really remember, but its a mix of the legend, first TL and lude all mixed together. dont take my word for it, but thats what i remember from when i got the pic.

Actually, that's what the 3rd gen. Legend should have been. It has the 2nd gen. Legend coupe rear end and hood, and 1st gen TL body. It was a prototype that came out in '96 I think. Instead, they came out with what we know as the RL. It's a shame they didn't put this into production.
