dunno if this been posted before but read in import tuner magazine that the sema accord is using the same 3.2 engine from TL/CL and with a few tweaks they got it pushin 300hp. since they kept the production accord to 3.0 maybe the next gen TL will stay with 3.2

if i remamber right it didnt take much to get to the 300 mark either

headers and intake and your at or over 300...what is more cool is it uses a 6 speed SMG transmission with LSD

honda made an smg tranny??? that must be insane. if they offer an smg tranny on the next TL, i am first in line to trade in!

honda makes all kinds of **** for show cars...but will they ever offer it to those of us that would give our left nuts,?....not too often

What's a SMG tranny?

Sequential Manual Gearbox, kinda like an automanual but more manual than auto...the M3 SMG has a clutch, not a torque converter, and it has a computer release the clutch for you, you just nudge the lever up or down...or you can even let the thing just shift for you like auto mode, but there is way less parasitic loss, and no slushbox feel.

Honda (corporate) developed a 300hp Accord V6 (6G) from the J30A1 motor a couple of years ago:

I believe it has 300hp/231lb-ft and runs the 1/4 mile in 14-flat with a topend of around 160mph.

So I have no doubt Honda could push the new J-series 3.2L well beyond 300hp, if they choose.

Peace.
