Hey Dan, after seeing your Garmin ique 3600 setup in your car I finally got one from GPScentral (thanks for the website). There is about 1-2 km/h discrepancy between the speedo and the ique. At any speed, ique read 1-2 km/h slower than what the speedo says. This also happens in my Sienna as well. Maybe my ique is little bit off?

i think that anyone disagreeing or not beleiving what im saying is completely daft. maybe im not talking about your tsx, but i drove my own tsx, the one i own, and marked down its physical characteristics. the way you guys talk is like people that say "well i dont know about that" when im telling you " i know about it and have experienced it".
if i had a ferrari that had a listed top end of 300 km/h and i test drove it, and for some reason it wouldnt pass 140 km/h. i would document the 140 km/h as MY top speed, maybe its defucnctional, but its a real value compared to a virtual one.
in 5th gear, the revs would not pass one solid point, that point was not the redline, it was 6000. who knows the reasoning. ill look into it on my next visit to the dealership.
also on a different note, i had a speeding ticket, 30 over the limit. i got my spedometer tested, 2% off of actual speed. which meant i was thinking that i was going faster than i really was. which should have worked against me in my plead for the ticket to be dropped. but even tho it was more incriminating, i got a "faulty equipment" fine of 150$ instead of a 300$ speeding. and they told me that my warrenty will run out faster than it really should hence the 2% extra KM being recorded on my car. which i am also going to get fixed at the dealer. most spedometers arent exact, but you can have them tested and fixed. i am going to get it cahnged so taht im not getting ripped off of extra kilometers that were never driven

1. AT is not as efficient as the MT in delivering power to the wheels.
2. Taller gears = more effort required to turn the wheels.
I think the point at which the driving force by the engine = friction and drag will occur at a lower speed in AT than MT if you take those into account. On the other hand, if there were no forces slowing down the vehicle and both AT and MT can reach 7100RPM in their 5th and 6th gear respectively, then I guess AT would win due to the taller gear. That's my hypothesis.

Little over 130 MPH...my girlfriend got scared so slowed down. Come to think of it...I think I was scare too. I wonder what it feels like going in 150 MPH...damn...that is some scary shit.

Maybe they didn't like the fact you drove a vette (or exceeded the speed limit).

prolly, oh hey jlukja u might get a warning from the same guy i did! he warned me of another negative rep for useless posting... send one jlukja if u gonna send one to me buddy. But anyways the Vette was amazing, u could feel a lot of air/wind driving at those speeds, but lots of fun none the less.

I've had my TSX up to 95mph and it was smooooooooth. The fastest I've gone was around 115 in my old IROC-Z. The wind noise was deafening. At that speed air rushing past the windows caused negative pressure and sucked the windows out and away from the seals. Don't know the speed exactly as the speedo only went to 85 (and pegged at 90) so I had to interpolate using the tach.

i heard it can do this....is that true??
ps....had the TSX up to 90mph....dont really want to push her til she gets more miles on her
had a 98 honda accord 4Cyl. up to 125mph and she had nothing left.....

damn man, i thought i was a rebel when i hit 90 ripping apart an avalanch....yeah stupid guy was pissing me off. but man it was still pulling i only backed off cuz i was entering a speed trap and the limit was somehwere aroudn 60. but damn the tsx still has great handling at 90 95, hmmm gotta find a good place to hit the top speed, im tempted on the highway but im thinkin ill hit an oval track sometime in the future.

I hit 110mph in 4th gear. I didn't even realize I was at redline, my friend had to tell me, but that's before I had my CAI, things should be different now. Thing is, I couldn't even notice I was driving 110mph.

Look this up in other threads for specific what-buttons-to-push info but here's the gist:
Put your Navi in diag mode, enter the GPS area and push and hold the Info button. You'll get to a screen with a real-time update of speed.

i hit roughly about 120 on the LIE ........ it gets scarey at those speeds cuz u feel the wind pushing and the car starts swaying, i was kinda amazed dont plan on doin too many stupid things like that often just wanted to test her out !

I have hit 144 on a couple occaisions, and my car is not modified besides an intake and a a sway bar. Fuck Car & Driver and their 133 "drag limited" statement. They also said that the TSX runs anywhere between 15.6 and 15.9 in the 1/4 (when I put 15.4 on it consistently when it was stock.
