2004TL Performance Numbers 0-60 & 1/4
These numbers are not what I expected, but official from Honda.
AT-1/4 mile 15.01sec@ 99mph 0-60 6.60 sec
6spd-1/4 mile 14.88sec@ 100.8mph 0-60 6.37 sec
Anyone else think these numbers are a little light?

Yea, Honda / Acura is not stupid like some other manufacturers who claim faster numbers and then nobody is able to duplicate them. Estimated times are ALWAYS slower for Honda / Acuras. For example, everyone thought that the Accord coupe V6 6MT was not that fast but C&D got it to do 0-60 in 5.9 and had very impressive 1/4 mile times as well. We definitely have to wait for the test drives...

These aren't drag launch numbers. The V6 6 MT Accord has gotten 0-60 in 5.9 seconds with professional drivers under favorable track conditions.
Basically these numbers Honda gives out are "worst case" numbers, you have to not be trying to get slower times.

The numbers from Honda seem conservative but not totally surprising. We are talking about just a few more horsepower and torque than a 2003 TL Type S right? Actually, the bigger tires probably help the acceleration tires at least as much if not more than the minor power boost.

Those car and driver numbers are not official.....they're just guesses that they made. Wait for official numbers.........
I suspect the 6-speed will easily run around 14.5 or so

I heard there will be a Type-O coming out in 2 years with 500 HP, AWD, IMA, and be able to compete with a M5
