03TLS vs 04 TL vs 03 Accord V-6
Me and a buddy, he has a 03 Accord Coupe V-6 stick, decided to go out and do a couple HWY runs. So we are going on I94 West, go from about 75-100 (right in my sweet spot) each time I put about a half to a car length on him. We did this three times and then all of a sudden I see a car come flying up on my left side and slow down, and wouldn't you know it was a 04 TL, so we sat three across and went two times from about 75, I stayed with the TL until I hit 110 when I let off, he had a nose on me. Second time, I honked three times and got a better jump and he was at my driver side door and didn't make up any ground. I was pretty impressed. All I have is a K&N.

After just having test drove the 2k4 TL at length, I didnt find the auto model to be much quicker (if any) than my 2k2 Max auto; which is similar to the TL-S in terms of acceleration numbers.
So I totally believe your account. But the AV6 6MT should have taken your stock TL-S slightly (min); exc. driver factor, that surprises me.

still a Masshole
Yeah, I'm a little surprised about the 7AV6-6 (7th generation Accord V6 6-speed). Not surprised that you and the TL were even if it was auto as it appears to have been.

An auto Accord V6 should not PULL on a TL-S even with a CAI. I'd say they should be running about even.
Not saying it didn't happen just that its not the norm.

Personally against the auto accord v-6's I have run that are stock whether they are coupe or sedan, they have never had a chance once I get to about 60 and above, I have always pulled on them. Maybe its me but I have never had a problem. My friend is a decent driver not the best, but it was a hwy run and he was in the right gear starting off and seemed like he was shifting pretty well.

yeah, i would have to agree with 2003 tl-s....
my wife told me some guy raced her from a light in an 03' accord v6. according to her she broke him off pretty good from 0-60.
she's crazier then me when provoked......![Loco](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/loco.gif)
but that's just one of many accords. if i'm not mistaken the auto v6 accord is supposed to be about a half second slower from 0-60 then a tl-s. correct me if i'm wrong.

Wow. I never thought I would have had so many people doubt my win. Its cool if you guys don't believe me. If you guys want clerification then go to V6performance.net and you can see the fastest Accord V6 Sedan with just intake only runs 14.58@96.4mph in the 1/4 mile. His name is LXv6guy on V6performance.net. Most guys with just intake run 14.7@96-97mph with no problems. I know a stock TL-S runs around a 14.9 just like a stock AV6. I also am 200lbs lighter than a TL-S have intake and a hyper ground system. The dyno's arent that much different if you look at them.

14.5 with just an intake? and the sedan? i find that hard to believe also. given that the av6 and cls have similar weights and that the accord has 20 hp less...i dont see how you could have put 2 car lengths on the tls..oh maybe its your neuspeed bar giving you 50 hp to the wheels
maybe what you described did happen..i just find it hard to believe..either that or there were certain conditions that you haven't described (such as the other car not knowing you were racing him)

So I won't touch your car just with my intake and hypergrounds huh?

You know how high the humidity is so the time could get better. You have to realize that your car really pushes out only 10HP and 10TQ more. And you guys weigh 200lbs more to boot. Its a good match up for both cars stock vs stock or modded vs modded.

Look at an accord dyno. To only lose by 2 cars he would have to be racing.

If I'm not mistaken, I think Motor Trend's AV6 6MT test ran a VERY similar 1/4 mile time: 14.54@98.04
IMO, the AV6 6MT is a good alternative for someone who wants a loaded G35C but cant afford the $35G+ price of admission.
I wish Honda didnt govern the topend @ 135mph; I'd like see how fast it could go officially. (Though I'll bet it could run in excess of 145mph.)

Yeah, Larry has the fastest auto 7th gen that we know of with his 14.5. There's a few others with 14.7 and I think VisGT ran with spray but I forgot his time. I think some 6spders have hit 14.4 if I'm not mistaken.

Who knows if it helped my performance but don't comment unless you have had a set.

So wait, the 14.5 is the fastest they have for the Auto, right??? is that supposed to be something to brag about, there are plenty of auto Cl-s's on this board that have gotten that or better.
Dont get me wrong, i think the new accord is nice looking with descent power but i dont think you should have said that an Accord driver must be not able to drive if they lose to a TL-s, they should be about even, just depends on the situation.

Explain to me technically how they work. No I gain this bullshit. That could be anything. Why exactly do the "grounding kits" work, huh? Don't know eh? Thought so.
100% copper? Wtf do you think the grounds are made of on the car? Do you know the properties of copper under load? What about aluminum? Silver?
