I think the TSX is one of the best cars on the road. It has great build quality, its nice looking, and its loaded (chix dig that). It isn't a fast car though. So, IMO, don't worry about speed when picking your tranny. Pick what fits your driving style (like amadeus303 said) because in the long run its about what makes you happy.
If you want a fast car go buy a vette or a WRX or something.

I test drove both a 5AT and a 6MT and the 5AT was noticably slower. The difference was big enough that I bought the 6MT.

Actually .4 seconds is quite a bit if the driver is equal.

Agreed.

And dzuy has already gone on record as admitting he has had some trouble launching. He was posting 2.6 60ft times; never gonna be in the 14s with that.

Here's a TL with a proper launch-with this kind of launch a Hondata TSX would be in the 14s ( okay 14.9x but still ), and the 5AT, well, anyone can drive one of those, no special skills required, and it'll still be low 16s..........
