legend vs. maxima

okay, a few months ago my roomates friend was here visiting. he has an old acura legend, 5spd. i didnt get the year of the car, because he didnt speak much english, but it was not one of the newer models nor was it one of the ancient models.

anyway, we raced all the way to the club. we were messing around at stoplights, etc. but it was pretty dumb since we had so much extra weight in the cars (we both had 3 passengers each). it seemed pretty even though. however, when we got on the interstate, he owned me most of the time.

if only i had a 5spd!

so what do you think guys, what would the outcome be if we had no passengers? id own him ja?

My mom had a 1993 acura legend LS automatic 4 door sedan. That thing could haul @$$ at 230 hp and 206 ft/lbs of torque.. but it is nothing compared to my maxima

correction: she had a 1993 lengend GS automatic 4 door sedan 3.2 liter engine w/ 230 hp and 206 ft/lbs torque

It's like seeing two 80 year old men get in a fist fight.

Okay, when my car gets out of the shop, I'll go down to MD to run on the highway...

Also Toylet is my friend, so we have had fun many times on the highway and at stop lights...

Ditto. Although I have a sweet spot for the 1995 Legend LS Coupe 6-speed. They are great cars and are truly worthy of their name.

There are 2 editions to the Legend, 1987-1990 (older style), and the 1991-1995. You said his is a 5-speed, so that means you were racing a 200HP V6, the TypeII of the same car is 230HP V6
