Is TSX slow ???

You guys must not know how to drive stick? What RPM did you dump the clutch, or did you just feather it?

Knowing how to drive a stick is not the issue. I just read the car and driver and road and track reviews, plus others online for the tsx, performed by drivers who drive cars for a living and they got times in the range of 15.7-16.1 in the 1/4 mile.
Well for $300-$500 you should be able to do a clean, functional HID retrofit into an Accord V6... For the same amount in engine mods on a TSX are you going to be able to keep up with an AV6?
Not even close.
And frankly, having spent a month with a TSX and as an owner of an 05 Accord V6 coupe (as well as an 02 TL-P), those who make the TSX's handling out to be fantastic are living in a fantasy world. It's a bit sharper than the TL-P, but the Accord V6 feels every bit as competent... the weakest link of my Accord are the EL41s.
Edit: I'd also like to add that while my garage housed an 05 TSX 5AT and 05 AV6 5AT for a month back in April, I got the chance to really compare everything with these cars - and the Japan-built TSX is no better in fit and finish than the Ohio-built Accord.

Motohip "That's the exact time the 3.0 gets"
Hence my point, I thought a TSX with same 200 hp and stick would be faster.
As mentioned, I guess the CL has the advantage of more torque.
