I don't visit Car Talk often (and the search function, well you know), and don't know if anyone has taken their 6-Speed to the track. Does anyone know what the 0-60 and 1/4 mile ET's are?

Thanks!

 

waiting patiently for shawnS 6speed and other 6 speed owners to take it to the track

 

I'm assuming that it might be too soon (engine not appropriately broken in yet), but was just curious how much the 6-speed would out-perform the 5-speed auto.

 

i think from a dead stop

the 6-speed should take the AT-5speed by half a car length

on the highway

well

that will be a different story

6 speed will kill the AT-5 speed

I dunno about half a car length. When I test drove the manual I felt that if launched correctly that car would be VERY much faster than the auto. The 6MT felt faster than my car with headers and intake.

 

i too am waiting for someone to run down the 1320 and DYNO IT!!!!!!!!!!!

 

It won't be a big difference at all

 

i heard a magazine got a 14.1...

go figure...

to say it wont be a big difference is a huge understatement....sorry, but honda auto's have always sucked

 

if any 6-speeds wanna join me, i'll b at Englishtown this Friday night!!

 

I'm not debating on the 6-Speed being quicker, it should be without a doubt. But how much will need to be measured at the track as the feel is worthless.

All manual equiped cars of near performance to an automatic will feel much quicker. It has to do with the involvement and the varying thrust due to clutch engagement/disengagement along with a more direct feel.

 

Well, well you seem to have an answer for everything

 

I thought it was as simple as a taller first gear. Who would have known it was the varying thrust

 

I guess a lot could be read into that...

 

I think a stock CLS-6 would perform like a CLS-5AT + headers and CAI.... I would guess 14.4s easy. A good drive can get 14.2s in 40 degress weather.

 

My girlfriend loves varying thrust.

 

I agree with those numbers. Which means i/h/e will put even a wack driver well into the 13's. That sucks, cause I just bought my car a couple months ago, and now I have to seriously consider buying the 6 speed

 

could you imagine....a cl-s with bolt ons and about a 80 shot...runing 12.9....that'd be sweet....total sleeper...

that would be if it can find traction of course

 

No clue on quarter mile times. In one review I read, they said Acura claimed the manual gives a half second improvement in 0-60 time, FWIW.

 

You took the words right out of my mouth.
Of course, that would only be possible in a 6 speed. (I'm sure that's what you meant though.)

 

dat would be sooo sweet!!!!

 

but of course
