Straight line, the V6 Accord wins. On a track with curves, the TSX.

First gen TSXs were and are used in racing, winning many times. Google "Realtime Racing TSX". (Of course, those are all manual 6-speed cars...which also quicker than the auto.)

Straight line from dig/roll and the Accord most likely smokes it, even if it's auto vs. 6 speed TSX.

On a track, TSX takes it most likely.

Any V-6 Altima, Camry, or Sonata will beat an I-4 TSX in a straight line. My neighbor has a 06 TL and we both leave for work around the same time. The on-ramp on the highway is a 270 degree right hand turn with the speed limit of 25mph. I can take the corner between 55-60 mph with no problems (a-spec suspension, progress RSB & Conti DWS). My neighbor is leaning pretty hard on the same turn and he cannot keep up with me IF I can get there before he does. He pretty much smokes me on the straights.

What a fun morning! This would be a good Acura TV commercial with two neighbors heading off to work in a "spirited" drive. Add a CT Engineering Supercharger and I'm sure the TSX will beat the rest in the corners & the straightaways.
