That change alone will greatly affect their performance. I kept my distance.I understand these are test mules, but the goofy sensor goiters tells me these are a very long way from cosmetic integration into a car's body.

Kwik_Shift Program them for established and set routes.The Vigor is good-looking, strong, and hard to find. (Heck, it might be worth putting some money back into one of these classic greats!) In good condition, the Vigor is beautiful to look at, and displays a styling that Honda/Acura may have lost forever. Now, that said, if you can find Vigor that isn't entirely consumed by rust, and she's a manual, this car makes for one very willing and capable partner. Honestly, if you can put one on a diet, and shed a couple hundred pounds, the Vigor's 180hp and 180pds torque will dispatch many competitors, street and track. They are however, quite nimble in the handling department, thanks to a very firm factory double-wishbone suspension(which includes rear sway bars) and nearly 50/50 weight distribution. and the gear box is very close ratio, so much so that the big girl can wrap out fifth gear, and as a result, see the dark side of 140mph.įurther exploration will reveal to the Honda/Acura novice, that the Vigor is very well constructed, if not, "overbuilt," performance sedan, and therefore a bit heavy on the scale.

The longitudinal mounting of the the big straight 5 cylinder, is proof of the Vigor's racing heritage. The Vigor is much like a European Super Touring Accord of its era, and its meaty 2.5l pumps out more power and torque than many of its V-tech cousins. Those of you who have had the pleasure of piloting a Vigor, and preferably a 5-speed/manual, will sing a very different and almost invariably happy tune! some forgotten odd ball of the classic Honda/Acura years. Those of you who have never owned an Acura Vigor, may think it.
