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.

 

Wow. They are definitely on crack. They should stop it now too.

See my signature.

 

It all depends on whose numbers you read and believe - the Civic does have a 600 lb advantage.

 

That is kind of hard to believe...those times must be for an automatic. And even for an automatic it seems slow.

 

Search.

 

The TSX is definitely not that slow, as Sauceman has proven. 17 second range is just ludicrous, even for an AT.

 

I'll post my times after the I take my car to the track...

 

Woohooo! You bet!

 

Your taking an AT to a track? :ghey:

 

 

It looks to me like they are comparing the TSX automatic time to the civic manual time.

 

Who is?

 

I'm refering to the comparison in the origional post of 16.7 vs 16.7.

But I do think the civic EX (Si in Canada) will be very close to the TSX in terms of acceleration.

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.

 

I actually can't wait... it'll be an interesting experience...

I get to WOT with sportshift hopefully all the way to 90 MPH

 

dissing AT?

 

This will be interesting. When you going?

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

 

If you puill better times than him he'll never live it down

 

There is no way the TSX is slow as the Civic EX. I have both (MT), so I know.

 

Clutch if he loses to TRU

 

If clutch loses to TRU, he will have to pull a blackjackman.

 

where's Clutch?

 

 

What is that exactly?

 

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.

 

I dont know. Ask Robert_TSXGeek

 

You're right. But that won't happen, so.....

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!

 

i don't get it.

anyhoo. who cares if the civic is as fast as the tsx. i don't.

but it's not.

 

i hope you're not pulling too hard, break it in first

 

so is your tsx faster then your ex-civic?

 

of course not. that blazing 1.6L SOHC vtec roars!

well more like purrs,

have you ever seen pics? it was clean just like my tsx

 

Actually, it's probably more like whimpers...

 

was it this one?



looks like ur TSX, just missing the CF hood

 

 

And aren't those the same kind of wheels he gave you, dabuda?

 

I had a 03 Civic EX Coupe

this TSX BLOWS ITS DOORS OFF!!!!!

 

I just remembered that I also had a 2000 Civic Si (US EX) Coupe. I'm fairly certain my AT TSX is quicker off the line but I can't be sure.
