I was just wondering how fast is your TSX?
Either 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder..
let me know your opinion..

 

the 4 is slow!!!!!!!!!

the six should be putting down about 230hp to the front wheels.

 

it is incredibly fast. sometimes when i drive its like im getting a BJ but noones in the car but myself and then i jizz myself and it lands on the inside of my windshield and then it drips down and obscures my view and then i try to use the windshield washer but it washes the outside not the inside!!!



tl:dr; not that fast

 

Killer, toooooooo much.

 

I thinks it's the weight problem..
2009&up are too heavy I guess..
did you ever run with previous generation TSX?

 

^i'm not understanding your question.

the previous gen TSX would still be slow with the I4.
granted 230 to the wheels isnt very quick either.

 

emmm.. I'm saying did you guys ever compared with other cars..
I have run with TL Type-S.. but mine was little slower than type S, I thought mine would be little faster..

 

do you have the 6 cylinder?

I have an 06 TL 6MT.

04-06 6MT TL and TL-S auto and V6 TSX all put down about the same HP. about 230 to the front wheels.
the 6MT TL-S is way moar power ful.

weight also comes into play, the TL is about 3500+lbs.
if the TSX weighs more than 3500 that would be why you lost to the TL-S.

 

Yes! I have 6 cylinder..
I never new Base TL and TL-S has the same HP..
it that true TL base and TL-s and v6 TSX has same HP?
I thougt TL base has little less HP..

 

Because I am a six speed manual. I weigh less, and the power isnt lost through the automatic transmission.

the Auto TL-S and the base TL 6MT both put down about 230HP.
Since, your engine is the same from the TL-S, I can only assume that you're putting down 230 to the front wheels.
and what you said confirms this, as you said a TL-S beat you. assuming that the TL-S either was a 6MT or had mods. or was lighter than you.

 

I see.. thanks for your info.
maybe I should try to run with TL-s again if I have chance..
and I didn't use the paddle shift as well..
but it is true that my car is heavier than TL-s..
I think you are right.. but I'll try it again..lol

 

Did you engage TRANS AM?

As for the speed wouldn't it also depend on the wear/condition of the car as a whole?

I'll make the assumption that my TSX goes as fast as it can til the speed limiter kicks in

 

you should be neck to neck with an auto type-s.
it will make for a great race!

 

ive got a 4 and that son bitch is slow as balls

 

Mine tops out at 120.

 

mine tops out at 155.

 

Yeah I-4 even with the 6 speed = slow as hell. I think most of us on these boards are the same though. No matter how much HP you got you still want more.

 

i think the v6 has 280 horsepower, not 230

 

280 horsepower engine, 230 hits the ground. Gotta factor in parasitic drivetrain loss, etc

230 is the real world number you are getting out of the car

Our tsx i4 probably gets 170~ real world HP

 

He meant by WHP

 

enough for DD i guess, but i'd love to have more...

 

Correct, the V6 TSX has 280hp to the crank.
but after drive train losses, its a bout 230 to the front wheels.

there are multiple dyno's that show the 3.5L engine in an auto TL-S making ABOUT 230whp.

 

IMO you don't buy a tsx for speed, you buy it for looks. If you wanted speed you can buy a used vette, used elise, new speed 3, wrx, or other various things that are considerably quicker than a tsx.

 

you are probably right if you only consider speeds..
but I just wanna see how fast is our TSX compare to others.. I do satisfy how it runs.. but just curious you know???

 

I'd love if there were more performance mods available for the v6. However, I do have my intake ordered for my lovely 1hp gain haha.

 

I've been trying to tell ya'll that most of the TL's mods can be ported over to the 2nd GEN TSX as we share the same engine....

 

I had a 6spd 05 TSX K24 with bolt-ons / Hondata and that car was pretty fast. It ran mid 14 sec 1/4m @ 96 mph times but the power was high in the rpm band. My new V6 with minor mods is very fast for only 239 dyno hp. The V6 has so much low end torque it blasts off the line thats if you can get traction. It runs low 14 sec 1/4m @ 100 mph with the TCS off. I give many cars out there with more hp problems. I have already raced and beat a TL-S auto and S2000. Its all in the driver.

 

fast enough for the driving I do-Did not buy it to be a race car-I just wanted a comfortable car for long distance driving.

 

my 09 european accord 4cyl run 155 mph with 20"

 

I smoked a modded 350z last weekend. And Yeah the car has a 6speed tranny, not stock bra all custom work.

 

^cool story bro

 

I say enough for me right now but eventually I want some more POWER

 

i have the v6 and it hauls ass, 280hp balls to the wall lol

 

^not really all 280.

I just looked up the specs, and you guys are 100 pounds heavier than a base 04-06 TL.
in the grand scheme of things both of us are not really that fast, but can beat up on most other cars out there.

 

14 sec 1/4 mile is not fast, at all, lol. I guess it's all relative

 

It's definitely all relative.
My truck (with a custom tune) is quick for what it is. It'll light the tires from a dead stop, but by no means is it "fast".
Coming down from that to the TSX and the CU2 feels like a rocket. It's quicker to 60 than the truck, but the CU2 will have its doors blown off by say a 335i.
For my wife's needs the CU2 is plenty quick. Especially since she came up from a 13yo Civic.

I know you were looking for actual time measurements, so I may be a little off topic.
Happy Friday!

 

OK, fixed.

HD, assuming you don't have a V6, even then, doubt it.

J/K

 

^i'm with you HD.

 

+1 to that...without any forced induction i dont see our car betting a 350....not even close

 

The 4cycl has been good enough for me. getting on the high way without cutting off traffic is something to cheer about. I havent get a chance to test its limit yet.
