I posted this under the racing/compt. but I thought maybe some people could chime in here. thanks.

Hello, I dont know much about cars or racing so I was hoping maybe some people from this forum can give me some info on what cars a stock TSX is faster then. In both auto or manual. Ive browsed some of the forums and tried to do a few searches but I cant find any compilation or definite results other then occasional stories.

I realize there are many different scenarios that probably create different outcomes but in general I am just looking for any kind of data or experience. So basically just street driving/freeway.


So if you have any insight I would appreciate the info and if so provide some specifics like make model and year of the cars that the TSX is faster than.

And im sure for most some comparisons are obvious but for me I really have no idea. corrolla S vs TSX ?? Tiburon vs tsx? civic vs tsx? accord non v6 vs tsx? ect.. ect..

thanks for any input.

Don't think Kevin will like the double posting, but Corolla S is not comparable with the TSX, as well as the Tiburon. Should be somewhat comparable to the Accord V6.

You already have this thread open in the racing and competition section. Let's not have the discussion in two places.

Thanks!

I wasnt sure which was the best place to post the question.


Sorry about that.

if you are buying a tsx to be fast you are buying the wrong car. it is faster than a buick and a kia.

Actually I'd bet it's not faster than many/most Buicks. Probably faster than a Rendezvous, but the Regal/Century with the optional engine, I doubt it.

TSX isn't faster than many stock for stock. But add in the reflash, then you've got some options. Still not much though.

Define "Faster"
0-60? 1/4-mile? Top Speed?

I think y'all are a bit too tough on the TSX. I mean, it's no hot rod, but it is a highly competent, well-rounded car. I drive a 6MT. I have personally beaten a Maxima (probably automatic) from 5 mph to about 60 (half car length) and a BMW 318 from 60 mph to about 95 pulling away by 3-4 lengths.

THANK YOU! I hate it that people cannot seem to differentiate between "faster" and "quicker" when they are talking about cars. Drives me nuts.

Go buy something else. The TSX is not a fast car!

Berkeley

Not too fast 0-60 wise, however, I have seen slalom / accident avoidance times that are better / as good as rivals. I think you can find these at Consumer Reports or Car & Driver...perhaps it was another online magasine.

duude its all about cuttin ppl off..lol if u can cut ppl off like crazy...u can even beat a corvette..lol i gotta admit, im a pretty wildish driver, and so far ive beaten tough cars like bmw 325, cadillac cts, and v6 corollas and accords..F V6's..its all about vtech i4's..lol

Acceleration is not a strength of any naturally aspirated 4 bangers that weights +3000lbs, especially in stock form

TSX>

humperdood

LMFAO. Umm, there are no V6 Corollas. And an Accord V6 will spank a TSX.

Sclass88

Dude, I'm sorry but you don't deserve a TSX if you're gonna' race it and do stupid shit with it...

Newplay1

If you want numbers stock 6mt is what 15.6 on 1/4 miles? So anything slower then that...

ianS

Nice job killing a V6 corolla with your vtech toys

dom

@ V6 Corollas

hey guys..im just a guy who luvs to drive and fully enjoy the power of the engine. but its not like i go on the streets just to hunt some racers down. with wat i said before, some of you guys might say.."oh, then the tsx is not the right car for me~" i kno what i bought and why i bought it..and i am pleased. so enuff of dat~

batman

is that vtech 2.4l or 2.4ghz??

get a M/T car if you want the most grunt, but even modded you wont turn any heads at the dragstrip in a car like this. Hell, the car is not really suited for alot of HP anyway being FWD with no helical LSD. you can make one a respectable sportster though.

If the TSX is sooo slow, what's the point in getting the MT and modding it? It's still going to be slow....

TSXey

This thread reminds me of that recent commercial for Comcast broadband cable intenet where the two turtles of the Slowsky family would just rather have DSL because cable is too fast for them

evo_to_tsx

MT adds the thrill factor, definitely less boring than SS...
but granted, it will still be slow

It makes more sense to supercharge a MT tsx than to supercharge an AT tsx tho =)

I've seen those V6 Corollas, too, but a double take revealed they're actually labelled "VE", with the typeface purposefully chosen to try to fool us/make us take another look.

Anyhow, the TSX is relatively aerodynamic, so at what speed might our wind-cheating shape, gearing and power make beating an otherwise unbeatable car possible? I'd guess that some of the SUV crowd would be first to fall (wow, what a kill), but what are the other aero-pigs? Convertible BMW's? Likely we are talking "lose your license" velocities.

p.s. Hey dom, how are you guys doing? I haven't been lurking around here much of late - don't even if you or others remember me

I got a pleasant reminder, yesterday, from a Mazda chatroom member who got his first ticket, about the consequences in Ontario of being caught doing over 150 on the highway. I counted 11 cruisers yesterday a.m., while driving around, so I kept it down until coming back from the airport, when my passenger said he saw 150 on the speedo three times; my personal matra is that I don't do those speeds in a straight line, I don't do those speeds in a straight line, I don't do those speeds in a straight line... When passing on country roads it's OK, and actually two of those times were on accel/decel ramps - and I wasn't alone, but then there was the connection between two highways on Saturday, and ... I'm still in the extended break-in period. Bad TSX. Bad TSX. I think I'd better go back for therapy with those Corollas.

kyotousa

if you are talking about stop and go.......

2nd->3rd is pretty strong

i bet the vetter and 325 drivers are like...shit this guy drive crazy gotta get away before he ram into me

TSXey

We should change to km/hr in the U.S. so it "seems" like we're going faster
