3.0 CL vs. TSX

anyone know how they compare? I'm looking at new cars and they're pretty close performance wise. I guess no reason to upgrade from a 3.0 to a TSX...

I would upgrade from the 3.0CL to the manual TSX. With all the bolt ons and a hondata flash (when available), it'll smoke a 3.0 and hang right with modded auto CL-Ss.

i drove an auto tsx loaner. it's a 4 banger, doesn't feel as powerful. 4 door, higher off the ground. nice inside and out. but i'll keep my 3.0 no ifs ands or buts about it

yeah.....same horsepower (200), our 3.0 has more torque.....I couldn't imagine that it would be much of a performance upgrade (stock for stock).

anyone have any performance numbers for the TSX compared to the 3.0? 0-60, 1/4 mile?

The TSX 6spd is quicker than a 3.0CL, low/mid 15 quarters, not to mention its reflexes are a lot quicker. The TSX is an enjoyable car to drive, very composed .

TSX is more nimble, more fun to drive, better interior and stock sound sys. more comfy seats. stock hids lo.

Id take one over a 3.0. Why...all that plus a 6spd. Its a better car, course it is its an acura and its newer.
