Sporty V-6 Street Performance With A Touch Of Class.When thinking about what makes a "good" car, we must examine what the purpose of said car will be. The kind of vehicle we may pick as a potential track monster is probably not going to be the same car we would choose as a comfy city cruiser. A rugged sport utility would have entirely different requirements to fill, as would a small economy car, so where do we begin? Even though we here at Modified put an emphasis on performance above all else, the reality is that we appreciate all sorts of cars. No matter how hardcore you may be about performance, there are always times when it's nice to just lean back, crank up the A/C and cruise. If this sounds like what you're looking for, we can say that for the price, there aren't a lot of cars in which we would rather do exactly that than the '10 Acura TSX.inline_mediumwraptextright0028580894/features/modp-1009-2010-acura-tsxmodp_1009_02_o+2010_acura_tsx+side_view.jpgtrue

When High-End Parts And Good Looks Meet The Race TrackDavid Ying's '05 Acura RSX Type-S
Don't let the name of David Ying's Canadian-based auto shop fool you. Yes, the Evo Garage namesake is that of the legendary rally-derived sub-compact, the Lancia Delta Integrale Evoluzione, but Ying and company most assuredly specialize in the Honda brand. Admittedly so, the famed, early-'90s Lancia is this Richmond, British Columbian's most prized piece of automotive racing fare. He thinks his RSX is sort of okay, too.inline_mediumwraptextright0034163280/features/htup_1009_2005_acura_rsx_type_shtup_1009_01_z+2005_acura_RSX_type_s+driver_side_front_view.jpgtrue

You're looking at the car that will soon prove to the world that 2NR readership builds the hands-down most potent street cars in existence.Straight to brass tacks this month: You're looking at the car that will soon prove to the world that 2NR readership builds the hands-down most potent street cars in existence. It's the car we're entering in the second coming of Castrol Syntec's Top Car Challenge, and the one we'll be using to upstage competing cars backed by Modified, Super Street, Honda Tuning, eurotuner, and 5.0 Mustangs magazines on the dyno, drag strip, time-attack circuit, in braking and road tests, and even emissions compliance. It's a true reader-built, proven, competition-going street car. It's Jim Cozzolino's '91 Acura NSX, and after driving it from his hometown of Phoenix, AZ, 400 miles to our L.A. headquarters for competition check-in, he showed our cameras what makes it possibly the best street car we've ever come across.inline_mediumwraptextright0029916955/features/impp_1010_1991_acura_nsximpp_1010_02_o+top_car+nsx_rear_diffuser.jpgtrue

Who says beauty need only be skin deep?There's a Japanese proverb, or kotowaza, that's valuable to mind when assessing things at first glance: Saru ni mo ishou. Literally translated, it reads, "Even a monkey can be dressed up." Think, "Don't judge a book by its cover," and you get the idea. What you see here isn't some powerless, over-built show car, bogged down heavily by ICE and dressed up in livery paid for by the latest video game sponsor. This is not a fox borrowing the skin of a tiger, as another saying goes, but a tiger built by a fox (yes, by the girl on the last page) whose knowledge and discipline-like the performance at the heart of her RSX Type-S-runs far deeper than you might expect. But let's hear it from her . . .inline_mediumwraptextright0033931482/features/impp_1010_2004_acura_rsx_type_simpp_1010_01_o+2004_acura_rsx_type_s+front_view.jpgtrue

Good exposure.Like worn-out catch phrases that plague the writing of lesser automotive publications, cliché shots of hard parked rides at overused spots are a good way to ruin the presentation of an impressive feature vehicle. But this month's Longshotters prove that with a little creativity, even the mac daddy of worn-out whereabouts-the parking garage-can look fresh. longshots@importtuner.com
