92 2dr Acura Legend Vs My 93 accordex

I was on my way home the other night when I pulled up on an acura legend that was all riced out. He was already stopped at the light when I pulled up next to him and he started to revv on me so I look over at him as the light turns green and laugh then I floor it and he is at my bumper by the end of first gear. By the time is shifted into fourth at about 70 mph he was 3 car lengths behind me. At the next light this dude is going crazy revving the s**t out of his engine and I still beat him pretty bad but this time he was only a full car length behind me when I shut down at about 60 mph. The guy then changed lanes and rode behind me in shame while I flashed my blinkers. I was surprised at how slow this V6 was are all acura legends slow?

I had an 87 Legend and I thought it was slow. Is 92 the year they changed body styles?

i didn't know they had manual legend's
i had an 881/2 with the c27, the thing picked up pretty well. As for the 92's i'm not particularly sure.
I find it amusing how so many people get revved on yet I never seem to and people know that my car is not stock, and it's made to be pushed. All I hear about is people in trucks and stock civics getting revved at, when is it my turn?

of course i guess there are more reasons as to why they don't try me, but that's a story for another day.

good kill

A few of the 91+ Legends had a 230hp V6 engine that was available with a 5-speed. Not too many of them around, though. I'd love to have one.

what do you have done to your car?

the only way i see a legend loosing (thinking you dont have much engine work) is if a) the driver cant drive b) the legend had engine troubles
