Are your accords manuals? Because if so it is probably due to the power drain of the torque converter in your TL. I feel the TL doesn't have much oomph until the "high lobe cam phasing" kicks in in the VTEC. Right around 4500 rpm it gets loud and fast.


My throttle feels pretty quick when I mash the gas but usually when I do that my tires spin and I get some torque steer.

to get rid of torque steer, you need new control arms.

** i was told by the dealer that you could swap in a 6-speed manual for the 5-speed auto.**

i'm gonna research further.
