Anyone races Japanese cars and wins?

Hey everyone, i just wanna hear stories of u people smoking japanese cars, ie honda preludes, supras, rx's and especially acuras. I got this kid that lives on my street and his dad is the manager or the acura dealer in my town. He just pisses me off so much when he talks about acuras being fast and luxurious!! I've beaten honda accords, civics, preludes, i've beaten an m3 b4 but i think it was a fake m3 since some pepole have fake m3's on their car. I said some people, not everyone. Anywho, i'm pretty sure reading your stories on here will just make me happy enough so that kid would shut the f*ck up when i show him these stories here! Thanks people! I'm from Toronto Canada

I love QEW. It is a Canadian Autobahn!

I am in Toronto this weekend with my E55 and I am ready to smoke any "Mercedes-wannabe" Japanese cars AND BMW. Acura is only an upscale Honda and You friend's father is obviously having a major insecurity complex. Plus listen to a car salesman is a waste of your time. If he has REAL money and decent taste he would of pick the German cars. NO ONE MAKES BETTER CAR THAN THE GERMANS!!!

Heeellllzzzzzzz yeah!!!! The kid is18 and he's a ****in idiot!!!!! All he talks is about drivin those new acuras that came out....just the fact that he talked and bragged about acuras so much made me hate them!!! Oh by the way, my friend's gf was about to get a new acrua till i told her to sit down in a c-class coupe and guess what she's getting now! ahahaah, that's a right a benz, she's only 18, so not a bad car for an 18 year old! Anywho, i'm glad to hear you hungry for some japenese cars heheh. well i'm an hour away from Toronto actually (waterloo) We have lots of rich kids with nice cars since we have two universities there, a lot of 3-series bmw but not a whole a lot of benzes!! Ah well, their loss!

Hey not to **** anyone off or anything but I like Acura's. I would usually take a Benz instead but a guy at my work drives a 3.2 TL Type S and I kinda like it! They run for like 35k with them loaded up and C230 Coupes run into the 30k range with a good amount of equipment. I mean honda makes good engines and 260 hp vs. 192 sorry I would take the Acura. Plus more room and they are very reliable! Also line up a stock C230 Coupe against a 3.2 Type S and the Acura would be all over the Benz!! Not trying to **** anyone off but open up your minds a little guys Acura is a good company!! I would like to hear your opinions on this.

Cheers

let me see here.....acuras are ok but i ****in hate them!! just the fact that the son of the manager of the acura dealer brags about them all the time!!! well obviously when u comptuer a C230 coupe to a Type S, the Type S would win..duh!!! I'm just saying that Benzes are better over all cars!!! But still, if i had a choice between C230 coupe and 3.2CL type S, i'd take the Benz, sorry but its not always about performance. Just look at it this way "mercedes" or "acura". That's what i figured!!!!

Alright Iron Man if it isn't all about performance then what is it? As far as luxury Acura beats Benz this time come on man a C230 Coupe doesn't have S*#! for luxury!! For amount of room another point for the Acura. As far as reliablility they are both very reliable. You name one major advantage the Coupe has over the Acura go ahead and post it!! I think it is pathetic that Benz tried to make a Coupe come on they are breaking there name as an "exclusive" company the Coupe doesnt even come standard with leather!!! Alright I am f*#&!*! heated now I hope you get smoked by an Acura in your "Bad *** Benz" cus you know it will happen!!!

F*%! OFF! Iron Dude

Opinions are welcome here but derogatory remarks are not and the usefulness of this thread has worn out its welcome. Please, we are all members here and do not need to get in a "pissing" match over Acura's and Benzes.
While your arguement and opinions about whether or not an Acura is worthy of comparison to a Benz is welcome, personal attacks are not. Lets keep it to the discussion at hand. Thanks guys.

Oh and by the way I have an E55 AMG which is the best car I have ever owned but I also have an Acura CL Type S for my company car. It is the best company car I have ever owned, that is, until my company gives me a Benz.
