Is the TSX slow as my Civic?
I'm reading on carpoint that the 1/4 mile time for the TSX is 16.7~17.3 seconds.
I've read on the Civic forum that people are getting around there on their stock civics. Are the people on their on crack or is that how slow the TSX is? I don't really care to have the fastest car, but would like something faster than my civic.
If I'm not going to notice much difference speed from my Civic EX 127hp, I think I might have to do somet thinking.

EDIT: OK I just checked and the 127 HP Civic EX is not nearly as fast as I thought. The 16.7 seconds is actually an EX time, so the TSX is considerably quicker.

And if you do anything higher than 16.9, lets pretend it never happened

Nov 30th... I'd like Clutch to go with cause he's got a CAI in his... and to see if his clutch/shifting skills are really that good
Clutch if he loses to TRU

About the TSX being as slow as a Civic, I remember racing an EP3 earlier on this summer, and it wasn't even a close match.
No need to worry about the Civic, that is, unless you want it to pass you, then you'll do the last 200ft hard on the brakes.

And you don't really need great clutch/shifting skills to drag race. You just need to do it quickly. Heel-toeing requires REAL skills.

ok ok...i've just traded in my 02 civic EX w/5 speed for my TSX...my civic had few mods, i.e. v-afc, CAI etc. anyways...trust me on this...my auto TSX feels and IS faster then my old civic~ trust me on this...
its a GREAT upgrade!!!! go for it!!
p.s...wait until you drive the TSX on the freeway..this car pulls on the freeway man!
