+1, I can't wait for that photoshoot .


Since you're the only one insane enough to own both a S/C MT and a S/C AT TSX, how big of a power difference is it between the transmissions? Based on dynos, I've typically seen that the MTs usually have an advantage over the ATs of ~20-25whp/10-15wtq on average. What does your butt dyno say? Also, what exhaust mods do you have on your "beater" ?

yeah the AT isn't as powerful as the MT. no doubt in my mind about that. however, i *think* the AT has more initial torque when i first start off accelerating. idk though. i hardly drive the MT so it's kinda hard to compare

regarding the exhaust, everything is stock for now. i'm waiting on my new Mugen exhaust to come in towards the end of this month and then i'll be putting my current Mugen exhaust on the 05 and the new one on the 06

I bet the AT feels more powerful off the line initially because of the taller gears. 1st gear on the 6MT is so f-ing short, it's almost useless. And adding the S/C means you get ridiculous wheel spin accelerating at anything over 50% throttle.

...and damn man, you're getting ANOTHER Mugen exhaust ???

You know what, after getting a 2nd S/C, nothing you do surprises me anymore...

^^^Damn 5-min edit rule...

Meant to add that the multiplication effect of the torque converter in the AT contributes to the feeling of more power off the line.
