i really don't think its 17 seconds. like i said, more like high 15.

Texan

I knew ahead of time that the TSX 5AT wasn't a fast 0-60 car, but seeing 9sec+ times for 0-60 in print is a little depressing and I'm hoping the atmospheric conditions just weren't right for the tests. Regardless, I'll be okay, I could have easily bought the TL ( and almost did ) if horsepower was a major concern. The best therapy for me is time spent behind the wheel where 0-60 times and other nonsense disappear.

yawanfoxboy

the auto TSX really seemed to be able to accelerate well past 60.

I drove the car, and with manual shifting i was able to upshift into each gear at around 7500. I'm sure this would help acceleration, considering the car shifts at about 7000 when left in D. Also, with me and my friend int he car (400 lbs of baggage put together) i counted less than 8 seconds to 60, perhaps 7.8 or 7.9. That should translate to a high 15 second quarter time.

Not being a fan of honda/acura (i'm a domestic loving guy) i was very impressed with the 5AT. Being a honda transmission i'm sure its more effeciant than the average automatic.
I test drove a 2004 5AT Accord V6, which has been documented at doing a 15.5 in the quarter (high 14's with the 6MT) and the auto TSX felt very comparable in acceleration.

while at the track, even with an automatic, i've noticed that a lot of things will affect ET. Launch is of primary concern.

if that gentleman that ran a 16.9 with a 2.5-2.6 60' (which is VERY high even for a supposed 17 second car) then by getting a better launch, he could run a 2.2 60' and easily shave his time down to 16.5. Also, i'm sure having the VSA ON would make you a little slower, as it would try to inhibit wheel spin. Turn that bastard off before you launch. Also, staging too deep will affect your 1/4 time. If you try staging a little shallower, you can shave .2 to .3 seconds. With a good launch, shifting at 7500 and a shallow stage you can definately hit 15's in an auto TSX.

tsass

when i posted this a while ago for the auto tranz. i got ripped apart but it looks like it is right on par....

fdl

tsass. that seems like a reasonable estimation for the 1/4, but i think the 0-60 seems unusually high.

sauceman

Let me rip you apart again!

Oh wait! It's for an AT!!

dom

So you guys are telling me the AT TSX is almost 2 seconds slower in the 1/4 mile than the MT?

fdl

no, but lots of people pull 16's with the MT so I'm just saying 17 is reasonable. I think the difference is about 1 second.

Andynolife

yup .. AT for 17sec flat is pretty normal .. ~
but 0~60 should be aorund 8.5 ~ 9sec is just ...... sthing really wrong with it .. ~

Food for thought. Auto TSX 16.085 sec @ 86MPH. No timeslip though.

fdl

dom, that link doesnt work. Was the car stock?

dom

Yes, 200 miles on the odo and he used SS.

Lemme see if I can fix that link.

sauceman

Not even broken in, huh.

So the AT is capable of breaking in the 15's then.

dom

According to that guy. But lets be real, we havn't seen anything nearly that quick from a AT before so it may be pure luck or pure BS.

Then again, we havn't seen many AT times period. I like to think its a 16.5 sec car. If Hondata brings me into the low to mid 15's I'm a very happy camper.

fdl

Getting that time with 200 miles on the ODO?


My money is on , time slip or not.

How can you call if the guy produces a proper timeslip?

fdl

that a stock 5AT with 200 on the ODO pulled that time.

a) timeslips can be easily edited.
b) He could have work done to the car (intake, exhaust, etc) and we would never know it by a timeslip.

dom

Guys, re-read my post. I said NO timeslip.

I can't get into the clubrsx forums for some reason?

fdl, I'm not sure about his time but he was definently stock. The thread is old, we're talking a year and a half old.

Viking

I was able to access the first page when you first linked it this morning and when I tried to goto the next page the link was broken.

Definitely stock, tho.

CGTSX2004

All I'm saying is that if the guy could link his timeslip to his car, you really wouldn't be able to call

Regardless, even I have a hard time believe that the 5AT is that quick. If it is, then I gotta talk to this guy to figure out how he did it. If not, no loss to me since I don't particularly care about quarter miles times.

fdl

Ya, i was just saying that even if there was a timeslip , I would still put my money on (for the reasons stated above).

And the fact that the thread is a year an a half old seems to suggest it was a made up time as well, since everyone was dying for numbers back then.

Or maybe it was a faulty g-tech or something

But if its true and the 5AT can pull 16 flat, then the 6MT should be able to break 15.

sauceman

Tis what I've always said.

Given the right conditions and driven at it's best, I'm sure the TSX is capable of it.

dom

The title of the thread was "First time with AT TSX at the Track" or something like that. The guy apprently just traded in the RSX for a TSX and was a CRSX member which explains why he posted there. I don't doubt he went to the track but I think his time may have been BS.

MasterRSX

hahah guys that was me on clubrsx hahahaha, i just did a search and it was back when i first got my tsx, i had an rsx at the time but i've since traded it in for a nissan titan.......well enough about that.......

now the tsx has an intake and i will be hitting up the track tomorrow night...........sorry i didn't post slips on clubrsx but i didn't feel i needed to haha i mean it was clubRSX for god sakes haha

but i will let yall know that the 5AT tsx stock is a 16 sec flat car, hope to see yall around more, my name on clubrsx is master22 if you wanna search it,

when i had my rsx i also hit 14.4 with just exhaust but if you check the clubrsx timeslip thread my slip for that is posted....................we shall see what i can pull off tomorrow night.

Triz08

I have an 04 A/T with Hondata reflash, Injen cai, and comptech exhuast. I did about 5 runs and 2 of them i got a 16.2 and another 16.3. So i wanna know how the hell he hit 16.0, with whatever mods he had. Only way i can see an a/t hitting under 16.0 is if there is hondata with i/h/e, lighter 17's and better rubber.

MasterRSX

do you know that your car can choose from many many many fuel, timing and spark curves to fit the conditions outside?

do you know that temp, humidity and the like really affect the k-series in general?

with the 60 fts yall guys are pulling it seems that the track yall are running at is terrible

i'll post slips tonight after i go to the track, hopefully my car doesn't let me down............hahaha, it did the 16 sec passes once

but i will say one thing..........I WILL HIT BETTER THAN A 16.3 you should have a mid 15sec car

Andynolife

it's possible .. ~
i got 16.4 with K&N CAI only and 16.2 with fujit cate back and K&N CAI ~
maybe the condition wasn't so good when u were running it .. ~

yawanfoxboy

Just checking back, maybe a high 15 was a little unrealistic of me... turns out my car really WASN'T running that well the night i raced one. Low 16's still sounds reasonable though.

But, if you can get a 16 flat... shaving another 10th off shouldn't be too hard...

dzuy

it wasn't. i ran with him that night and it was ~80 degrees outside and it humidity was high

but oh well, my friends 2000 maxima (MT) ran 15.12 @ 94 mph with just intake and exhuast

:troutslap

dom

Any slips yet??

MasterRSX

yea i posted my most recent run in my other thread

as stated earlier the 16flats were lost long ago, I mean it was over a year ago and I wasn't really thinking keeping them was important

BlackAc036

Nice thread, wow auto is slow!

03CoupeV6

I have a TSX auto loaner, and yes, it's painfully slow.

sauceman

And you're a PITA.

It's not like you haven't made your point already.

Triz08

Will post my slips later tonight. It was at a track in orlando florida with 80 degree weather with Dzuy. Read the sig for my mods.

Here it is...

I know many of you hate G-Tech readings; but for what it's worth see this.

I drive an auto '04 and it's always been plenty fast. Didn't buy the car for silly 0-60 stoplight racing anyway - did you? It's all a matter of perspective.
