Acura guy...LoL
So I was cruising down the highway on my way to the mall at lunch and some guy in a brand new Acura TL sedan (still had the temp tags) pulls up next to me and starts the whole gunning-slowing routine before finally tearing off.
Just so happens I pull up to the Sears attached to the mall and he's sitting in the pickup area with his window down. I get out of the car and walk into the mall and he shouts out his window: "Don't you ever get on that Vette?"
Me: "Ya. That's why I get ****ty gas mileage."
Him: "That's what you get for buying a ****ty Corvette and not a foreign car."
Me: "Funny, I don't recall Acura making a car that could outrun my Vette stock to stock."

I just wrote it up as an owner of a new car excited about said car. They are nice looking, but they aren't worth the .10 in gas money to destroy him by second gear.

I had some punk-*** do the same thing to me in a brand new BMW 335, in Christmas shopper traffic when the ground was wet. It's a shame that when he wraps his Bimmer up, mommy and daddy will be there to buy him another

Ignorant statement
How is it a Joke?????? I own a Type S (as well as having owned 3 other Acuras previously). Now its not a corvette from a performance standpoint but its a very fine sport luxury car that is great for daily commuting and comfort. I love my vette but there is no way in hell I could ever use one for a daily driver since I do have to take clients out and the noisy interior of my Z06 also makes it difficult to handle phone conversations on the go. I also have to say it makes the quality of the vette in terms of fit and finish look really bad.
To the original poster...... sounds like you encountered a real idiot in one of these cars...... without a doubt you would have handed the guy his A$$, you definately took the high road in the situation

The type s. Is not a performance car. Never owned. One and don't plan on it. Its simply a bottom line "luxury" if that. Ur right this is a vette forum. So opinions r biased. Sorry if someone needs to justify the type s. Its just a honda. Zo6s rnt supposed to be quiet and have creature comforts. We all know that. What does the type s even run in the quarter mile? Mid to high 14s. In my book that's a joke for a "sports" car. My old m3 could do that a second faster with half the hp that's why its a joke in my point of view.
