Greatly appreciate this video! I honestly thought the MDX was going to win due to bigger engine & AWD. I would love to see the TLX-Type S vs Integra Type-S. Make it a family feud. Also major props to the Integra driver! Great shifting!
You're dillusional if you think it was going to win lmfao. Its like racing the 2.0 accord vs a honda pilot or a nissan altima 2.0 vs a pathfinder. The pathfinder isnt beating the turbo altima.
I bought BMW 2024 X3M a few months back, and I can sleep well knowing I can dust 95% of the vehicles on the road in a straight line and in the corners.
Why would they shave 1k pounds off a mid size, 3 row luxury suv? It’s already lighter than its competitors. As the comment above mine stated, if you want a lighter suv, then you have to look at the class below.
Looks like you had lots of fun that day. That’s the type of thing I’d do myself if I’m driving an suv like that at the lights vs any, regardless of the outcome! Thanks
I think Sam be listening 😅 everytime I come into early in morning and decide to watch an older video-he posts everytime. …What was your favorite car from last year Sam 🤔
Already knew what the result would be, my stock accord 2.0t beat a mdx type s on rolls and dig runs it was somewhat close but a win is a win. Already suspect that even with a manual transmission the integra would still win. Good race tho Sam love the content.
That transmission does wonders to move that boat of an suv. If the integra had a 10 speed auto it would be much faster. Only 30 ish HP and 40 ish torque difference but the weight difference is 1600 ish lbs.
so the integra has a ~1700 lb advantage and ~ 35/45 hp/lb-ft tq deficit to run down the mdx. not to mention the ride height n aero advantage. Tall ask but mdx is no slouch from the dig with the shawd hookin right up. fun comparison. would love to see 24-25 tlx type S comparison with the integra. big bro/small bro rivalry. the tlx is ~ 1K lb heavier.
@ the TLX-S and ITS both trapped at 105mph as per C&D, but yes it would be intersting to see. I'd say it'll come down to how well the Integra driver can shift.
For everyone asking about the TLX-S vs the ITS, the ITS wins on a roll. If you look at car n drivers numbers for both you can infer that in the quarter mile numbers.
Sam I hate to say it but that integra has full downpipe midpipe and front pipe with the exhaust. They technically count as exhaust "technically" so he did lie to you. The type R and type S don't burble out of factory. And with just exhaust and cai it won't automatically tune in burbles. That car has been tuned and not only has exhaust
I own a 2025 Integra type s and yes in sport plus they have a factory burble and pop tune. Only really does it on up shifts over 2500 and under 4k rpm in 1st through 3rd gear or real aggressive downshifting. In comfort and sport they do not have the pops and bangs in the tune. The guy above is correct that the Type R never got that pop and bang tune, just the type s to sound like its audi and bmw competitors.
I own both of these and a TLX -S so I’m either the ultimate winner or the biggest loser 🤣 but, that being said…. Good stuff, now I don’t have to race my wife lol
Do the M240ix vs. ITS haha. Same price, but the M240ix does a 3.6s 0-60 and 12.2 1/4 mile... oh and it get's much better mpg with the top tier B58 somehow too! I love my RSX-S, but Honda/Acura is a decade plus behind BMW these days.
Anyone interested in a MDX make sure you spend the extra money an get the type s the regular MDX is very underpowered. Had a 2025 aspec as a rental it was horrible to drive compared to our RDX. My 2 cents. Great video as always Sam
@@JGisMe2013 I'm looking at it more as the money I'm paying for what I'm getting. I've been in the Honda game 35 plus years, The J35 is an awesome motor just underpowered for the heavy MDX. At the MDX price point not having sufficient power is unacceptable. I'm not saying don't purchase an MDX I'm saying spend the extra bucks an get the Type S 👍
@ you can get a nicely equipped MDX for less than 60k. A Type S is 75k! Thats a HUGE difference my guy and not worth the upgrade if you dont care about performance. If it was a 5k difference then I would agree with you
Sam you always give me the kinds of races that I like to see. All of our everyday cars that we want to run red light to red light. I just bought a 2018 Honda Accord 2.0 turbo with a 6-speed manual transmission in part because of your videos LOL. $20K with 91,000 Miles K-tuner, catless downpipe with full exhaust and borla mufflers, PRL intercooler and charge pipes, some goofy looking anodized blow off valve that makes stupid noises LOL. This thing is honestly really fast but the salesman filled it with 87 octane while I was doing the paperwork..... Yeah on a 93tune the car started throwing codes and breaking down within 40 miles😅😅😅 thanks a lot Sam now I got a headache. Remind me of a wild girlfriend though, she might be a headache but she's a whole lot of fun 😊
The mdx type s is a solid value and actually very quick when compared to other suvs in its class. This drag race here was just for fun but still works because they are fairly close stock vs stock.
Not bad for a SUV with 4900 pounds Maybe if it had a catback exhaust would’ve made a little difference Acura Tuoe S had a exhaust But still a good video and 14.2 in a 1/4 on a SUV is not bad at all Yes there’s others faster But the fact that SUV of the past were slow cause of its weight Not bad
These drsg races are the perfect set up for online trolls. Launching a FWD manual car against any auto car is hard ... It's taking the thing that the ITS does the worst and judging it against the thing other cars do the best ... My ITS (exhaust, intake, no tune) is basically door to door with my friends manual stock supra. Manual is a huge disadvantage, FWD is a huge disadvantage. Get the ITS on a track and thats where it punches well above its weight class.... But i guess that doesnt make for a fun bite sized click bait video.
What are you even talking about? Both cars are more than fast enough for their intended mission. The Integra is one of the fastest FWD cars/hot hatches around a track. Slow AF compared to what? A Tesla?
😂 NSX priced like a 911 Turbo yet so much slower than that car or other less expensive vehicles like certain versions of the C8 Corvette or GTR. Even a big heavy M5 sedan destroys the NSX in acceleration.
@@mattspeer01 Have a look at corvette or m5 values 10 years from now vs the nsx. Much more special car. You sound like a numbers merchant who only chases 0-60 times
Special thanks to Chris with his Integra Type S:
instagram.com/platinum_de5?igsh=Z2M0djRjaWNwOHVx
Power to weight ratio is so important in drag races.
And automatic transmissions with lots of gears too.
That MDX Type S should have at least 400 horsepowers!
Family fued is the perfect title. Or friendly fire 🔥
Greatly appreciate this video! I honestly thought the MDX was going to win due to bigger engine & AWD. I would love to see the TLX-Type S vs Integra Type-S. Make it a family feud. Also major props to the Integra driver! Great shifting!
I think Edmunds U-Drags did a TLX Type S vs Integra Type S run. (It’s in the Integra Type S vs Civic Type R video)
I won’t spoil the results for you.
The MDX is muchhhh heavier than the Teg.
Edmond's U-drag did the TLX-S vs Integra-S (it's in the ITS vs CTR video), the TLX-S won
You're dillusional if you think it was going to win lmfao. Its like racing the 2.0 accord vs a honda pilot or a nissan altima 2.0 vs a pathfinder. The pathfinder isnt beating the turbo altima.
@@MidnightAspec Thanks 🙏🏾! I just finished watching it! That was a very exciting video!
I bought BMW 2024 X3M a few months back, and I can sleep well knowing I can dust 95% of the vehicles on the road in a straight line and in the corners.
I need to do this with my 3 Type S family line up.
TLX typeS vs Integra TypeS
@@DanielMGalindo Yar.
dig- tlx, roll- integra
Edmunds U-drag did just that, the TLX Type S won. See the ITS vs CTR video, they bring out the TLX-S at the end.
Just Like a Dodge Durango vs Dodge Charger
Closer than I thought it would be
Love this race❤
We need a GR race. Gr86 vs supra 2.0
MDX Type S is no joke...its fast for an SUV. If they could improve the MPGs and shave 1k pounds..it would be perfect!
If they shaved 1k pounds it would be a RDX 😑
Why would they shave 1k pounds off a mid size, 3 row luxury suv? It’s already lighter than its competitors. As the comment above mine stated, if you want a lighter suv, then you have to look at the class below.
If they shave 1k pounds, it might not be the top rated safety 3 row luxary SUV in IIHS.
@@drivescene6747 I understand, or increase the HP to 400 with improved MPGs
@@JGisMe2013it would be ADX, RDX is still a bit heavy at 4000lbs, if they put 3.0T in the RDX, it will gain 200lbs putting it at around 4200lbs.
I love the upgrade in quality with this video! Keep it up!
Yessss 💪🏾 😅 I clicked the notification so fast
Once again. Perfect timing & thanks Sam 👍🏾 all love brotha 💙
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video Sam! Love coming from a Honda fan and long time Acura owner.
Thanks man! I appreciate it!
Good race. If the MDX Type S had a higher rpm rev range, they probably would be side by side.
The guy did a good job of launching the Integra, the MDX did not get out far enough like i thought it would....
Looks like you had lots of fun that day. That’s the type of thing I’d do myself if I’m driving an suv like that at the lights vs any, regardless of the outcome! Thanks
It’s all about the fun!
What if you get a tuned Integra with 370 plus horsepower?
Woooo your helicopter pilot that day was ON his game ;D Great video. Little family battle going on here
He's the best!
Integra Type S vs G70 3.3t or TLX Type S.
Sam, now do one with a TLX Type S
Another good one Sam
Thanks 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it
I think Sam be listening 😅 everytime I come into early in morning and decide to watch an older video-he posts everytime.
…What was your favorite car from last year Sam 🤔
I'm always listening 👂

You said somewhat close on a dig, just say you lost lol.
@@JGisMe2013 lol I didn’t lose on the dig he has all wheel drive advantage but I pulled him back in and passed him.
🧢
Glad to see an Acura win a race😉
you should bring back a 2.0t accord to see what happens lol
Any race is a fun race win or lose 😁👍
Nice video Sam! I think if Acura put the MDX engine in an RDX, it would beat the Integra and it would sell pretty good.
Nice race Sam, i would like to watch the Audi s3 vs TLX Type S and see the difference between the Integra vs the TLX
That transmission does wonders to move that boat of an suv. If the integra had a 10 speed auto it would be much faster. Only 30 ish HP and 40 ish torque difference but the weight difference is 1600 ish lbs.
You can tell when the integra shift. The driver was taking it easy.
Sam! Get some C7 Corvettes on the channel!
You got it!
so the integra has a ~1700 lb advantage and ~ 35/45 hp/lb-ft tq deficit to run down the mdx. not to mention the ride height n aero advantage.

@@TheBreakfastLover I want to see a roll race.
The integra traps higher mileage
@ the TLX-S and ITS both trapped at 105mph as per C&D, but yes it would be intersting to see. I'd say it'll come down to how well the Integra driver can shift.
@@TheBreakfastLover Check their long term review.
107MPH for the Integra
The engine needed some break-in mileage.
@@Marbind good catch, Honda's/Acura's tend to get quicker after break-in
God DAMN is the Type S beautiful
did you skip the car stats?
never mind saw timestamp
Now TLX Type S versus these two as well!
I know a guy with all 3 Type S models, Integra, TLX and MDX.
That’s dedication
@@SamCarLegion and he also owns a Nissan GTR
Test the new Camry against the new Honda Accord in a race, not a review.
This is a good one
@Marbind
I want him to compare them to the BMW M5
the tlx type s would be a better match up
I believe the Integra can take the TLX on a roll, provided both drivers are equally skilled.
For everyone asking about the TLX-S vs the ITS, the ITS wins on a roll. If you look at car n drivers numbers for both you can infer that in the quarter mile numbers.
Why not the TSX Type-S?
What u think was going to happen
Sam I hate to say it but that integra has full downpipe midpipe and front pipe with the exhaust. They technically count as exhaust "technically" so he did lie to you.

@@diegomjangos4904 the type s does come with burble from factory….. just fyi I got a 2025 ITS the type r doesn’t
I thought as much.

Only really does it on up shifts over 2500 and under 4k rpm in 1st through 3rd gear or real aggressive downshifting. In comfort and sport they do not have the pops and bangs in the tune. The guy above is correct that the Type R never got that pop and bang tune, just the type s to sound like its audi and bmw competitors.
I drove it, besides the exhaust car felt the same as stock. I don’t doubt the guy
Stock DE5 burbles and pops.
Mod by mod the mdx would make more whp
Up to a point. The transmission will give up quick. Aftermarket is very limited on the V6.
K20C8 > J30AC
This should be the tlx
Great test
I own both of these and a TLX -S so I’m either the ultimate winner or the biggest loser 🤣 but, that being said…. Good stuff, now I don’t have to race my wife lol
If the teg wasn't bouncing off the redline would have won be even more.
EASY QUESTION: WHY NOT RACE AN RDx vs an ITR?? it has the same engine, weighs (RDx) less than the MDx, that's an interesting race
Its not the same. RDX is slow af and not a performance vehicle
@JGisMe2013 I KNOOOOW... go back and read, my point was the RDx has a 2.0L, so does the ITR
@ its not an interesting race whatsoever when you KNOW who’s going to win. Racing a performance car against a non performance suv is idiotic
@JGisMe2013 but yet u CLICKED... LOL!! JUST LIKE I DID!! LOL!! "YOU'RE A FUNNY GUY!!"
@ this video isnt a RDX num nut. Would have gotten 0 clicks if it was
Do the M240ix vs. ITS haha. Same price, but the M240ix does a 3.6s 0-60 and 12.2 1/4 mile... oh and it get's much better mpg with the top tier B58 somehow too! I love my RSX-S, but Honda/Acura is a decade plus behind BMW these days.

The first roll was at least 3 cars the second roll was 1 and half cars.
9th gen Honda accord v6 vs mdx vs type r
Beautiful MDX!!!
That type s is slow and heavy as hell for a tag value 🎉.
Mine (intake and exhaust, no tune) is door to door with a manual supra. So there is that.
The mdx type s is a solid value and actually very quick when compared to other suvs in its class. This drag race here was just for fun but still works because they are fairly close stock vs stock.
@@TampaDE5 what’s your 1/4 mile?
@@TampaDE5 good joke
@@sports_car_enthusiast it’s solid value that’s it.
MDX is pretty slow huh
🔥
Mdx type s starts at 70k 😂😂
75k
The Integra S should have SH-AWD of the RDX and rebadged as the GS-R.. Tjat will murder all competition and will definitely sell
It will suck in the handling department, will be more expensive and people will still bitch about a 60K sport compact with a 4cyl.
Rice Race 25
Not bad for a SUV with 4900 pounds

But the fact that SUV of the past were slow cause of its weight
