??? you think the FWD TL needs MORE power and torque? what it needs is RWD...it's already (even by admission of the honda engineers) pushing the boundaries of driveability as-is.

otherwise, i like 'em. anything that improves handling is a-ok in my book.

hopefully they decided to upgrade the stock tires on the RSX as well. honda should be shot for handicapping that car with the Accord-like shoes it originally came with.

I'm thinking the RSX and TSX could use alittle more power...

oh. yep, no doubt.

although an LSD would probably be in order. an RSX-S on an autoX course is a tire-spinning handful.
