I'm going in to sign the paperwork for an 05 Carbon Grey (I maintain that it is dark blue metallic)/Black 6MT tomorrow night.
I test-drove it for about an hour today and fell in love.

This seems like a good place to drop some info ... Note that top speed can probably be achieved in fifth gear since fuel cutoff is at 7300 rpm in a stocker.
Here are speed calculations for my 2006 MT. The gear ratios
are from the 2006 TSX sales literature. Note that the published
ratios are to only three significant figures so accuracy
could be improved by counting gear teeth. But since my tire
measurement is also to three significant figures the calculations
are pretty close. Also note that the speeds are actual, not
indicated - your speedometer and tachometer are not that accurate.
I've separated the three columns with semi-colons because the forum
absorbs spaces and tabs.
gear;gear ratio;speed in mph at 7100 rpm with a 78.1" circumference tire
1;3.27;33.7
2;1.88;56.4
3;1.36;81.1
4;1.03;107
5;0.83;133
6;0.66;167
diff ratio = 4.76
