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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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,

Ya, i was just saying that even if there was a timeslip , I would still put my money on
![Bullshit](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/bs.gif)
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.

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

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.

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.

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

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 .. ~

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...

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