TSX, Auto. what are the avg. 0-60 times...

Thx!

I'm at work so I can't be browsing 8 million sites :-X

 

SOMEONE here did a track run with official time slip of around 9 seconds 0-60 so AT 0-60 time kinda sucked, but then someone modded the hell out of their car and did some run somewhere in 7 second range..

overall 0-60 time is not good, but once u are cruising it pickes up really fast.. its just not much off the line punch... but daily driving is excellent

 

I was goign to say when I had it for a loaner, it felt quicker than 9 seconds... I did notice a diff when i got my 3CL back, but on the highway, etc. I was really surprised at how quick it picked up speed cuz usually thats when the four bangers start to lose their breath... my grammas civic is dead after 70mph it just makes noise and thats it lol

 

yep with my integra before. at high speed like 80 and above and i floor the car.. its like nobody home.. dont be fooled by all those rice rocket looking car out theer. they look fast. but most of them are just look. they are very slow in most cases.... whereas the CL-S i had, when i floor the car at 80 MPH> damn. it go straight to 120 without any hesitation and 2nd stage vtec kick butt... and i agree with u. tsx certainly feel much faster than 9 sec. but hey.. im almost 32 now. my fast and furious days are over..

i even had a dream about me buying a Lexus RX 330 last night. go figure.. but it was good while the dream lasted hahah I love my tsx but i would kill for an RX 330 now....

 

There was one magazine review that, if I remember correctly, reported the AT 0-60 at 9.1 sec.

I believe the AT is no more than a 1/2 sec. slower than the MT.

 

magazine did 7.3sec for auto when it first came out

my TL did 6.5sec

 

there is 1 thing about the magazine time... tsx. factory setting 6 speed or 5 AT . there is no way they can do 7.3 in real life setting. my 260 HP CL-S only did 7.5 at best setting on steet start 0-60 mph.

the way magazine do the test of 0-60 is they adopt NHRA rule and allow for wheel spin and a vehicle moving distance of 1 whole FOOT before the 0-60 time starts. Just imagine how much time saved during that 1 FOOT and how much wheel spin is rid off during that 1 FT before the actual timer starts.... that is how all the magazine and manufacture come up with this miracle 0-60 times and attract us to buy cars.............

not sure if your TL 6.5 sec is real life test or according to magazine,,,, if magazine say its 6.5...its probably safe to add nearly 1 sec to that 0-60 time

Some performance car magazine utilize real life setting. so tsx 5 AT of 9.1 second sounds about right, TSX 9.1 sec vs CL-S 7.5 sec is just barely 1.6 sec difference, its not bad at all.....so guys with tsx, dont feel bad, just take out motor trend and add 1 sec to all the cars they tested... and you will see the REAL 0-60 time.. we aer not slow at all

 

 

For the MT I found the following 0-60 times:

Autoweek, 8/03 - 7.38 sec.
Car&Driver, 7/03 - 7.2 sec.
Car&Driver, 10/04 - 7.5 sec.

I find it hard to believe that the AT would be almost 2 seconds slower. I figure the AT to run 0-60 in roughly 8.3 if it was being tested by the same drivers.

 

Link?

You won't find one because it never happened. It may have been as estimate at best.

Anyway its anywhere from 8 to 9 seconds.

 

just refer to this section of what i typed... i learned this section from an issue of car and driver...thats why every car has this magical 0-60 mph numbers..

 

Remember, folks, that the OEM tires suck really badly for traction compared to the stickier rubber most of us will likely slap on. Braking, cornering, and acceleration should improve with better rubber.

 

A couple of magazine reviews noted "tire hop" in their acceleration trials as well.

jlukja, who isn't sure what causes tire hop but wonders if suspension mods would reduce it and improve 0-60 times.

 

can't find it...i might be wrong...sorry

but i did 6.5 in my TL in a real life testing, having a camera shooting as well

 

I believe that stiffer engine mounts and suspension bushings, along with traction bars will help this. I'm not sure you'd want traction bars on anything but a drag car, though.

 

AT for the TSX takes 9.0 secs. wow that's not bad, of course i didn't buy the TSX to drag race.

This has to be correct, but the 04 TSX AT is faster 0-60 right compared to my old 99 Accord 4 dr Ex right?

 

 

Did any magazine ever test the TSX with the A-Spec pkg? C&D tested A-Spec and non A-Spec 3G TL and there was a quite a big difference in their performance.

 

0-60 times dont mean crap. I used to obsess over them but now its just another number. For most purposes if a car is 9 seconds and under seconds its decent, under 7 its fast, under 6 its a toy. I just really dont see the point in why people go out and spend hundreds of dollars for upgrades to there car when it only might shave them .5 seconds off there 0-60 times. Just drive the car and enjoy it.

 

thats why i got tSX instead of TL or G35 like i went to look the same day prior to buying TSX

 

I would really like to see 5-60 mph numbers for the MT and AT. It can't be more than 0.5 sec difference once you eliminate the clutch drop.

Plus with the AT it's easy to come out of all tight corners in 1st gear.

 

I think the MT needs to shift to 3rd gear before it hits 60mph. Not sure with the different AT ratios that the AT needs to.

Anyone?

 

AT goes to 70 km/h in 1st and 120 km/h in 2nd. I think most MT cars are geared to hit 100 km/h (60 mph) in 2nd.
