Dude . . I hope you are just kidding because there is such a thing with automatics. I see it all the time . . . I'm always teaching some rookie at the track and by the end of the night we'll have knocked a 1/2 sec or more off their 1/4 times . . . it's also why I love to race techinically faster cars and win becuase most drivers think you just punch the gas and go . . .

launching an Auto Vette? yes there is some skill to be learned there.. but an accord.. a TL... No
wanna break torque and give 75% Throttle so you dont get wheel spin? sure.. go ahead and burn that tranny up lol.

That is about the outcome I expected. Stock vs stock its a drivers race between a 7th gen Accord V6 auto and TL Auto. So with I/E on the accord it would be the faster car.
I/E give the accord about 15whp or so. I know it states 7whp and 6wtq for my magnaflow on the website and about 12whp from the injen intake but everyone would probobly achieve different results depending on the conditions. It is enough to make a difference in the race so it seems with your outcome.

well as much as i love my TL, i ran it today against a 05? 06? Accord Coupe V6 and got pull on right off the line all the way to the end. I am bone stock as of now and have an auto. The accord is also a auto. the accord has intake and exhuast, and is running on TL rims. only mods it has i believe. I know the accord coupe is lighter too but i expected much more of the TL. The accord and the TL have similar motors, will a exhaust and intake do alot in boosting its performance?
I ran about even with a older 98 Accord V6 sedan
Anyhow, I just got my car not too long ago. idkk.. is there something wrong with my car? or is this the daring truth about the TL's performance.. btw... i hate the TL's 4th gear.

We took off at the same time
had the accord been waiting around for a fourth honk;
the camera car which also accelerated after the 3rd honk
wouldve started pulling closer to the accord
the camera quality wasn't that great either
i'll get a better vid next time when we run again after a few mods =)

You may have hit the gas at the same time, but you definitely didn't take off at the same time per the video. Maybe he floored it in D and you were using the Tiptronic? It definitely looked as if you took off first (maybe due to the D lag?)

We were both in auto, i wasn't using tiptronic.
i've also reduced the weight of my car with some tips from TL diet thread
IMO the 18's he got may have slowed him down a bit as well.
i'm gonna run him again after he gets his greddy exhaust
and i get my aem v2, should be a good run

i wouldnt say the TL is faster then like an 05-07 Accord V6 i know the type S is faster but the none type S and the previous years i think there about the same i have a 2007 Accord V6 with i/e and like i said b4 my sister has a 2005 TL and i raced her 4 times and with 2 diffrent drivers and my car pulled each time on her not by much maybe a half a car to almost a full car but i always won and then i drove her car and i dont know it didnt feel faster then mine maybe cuz of the i/e. i think the TL and accord a fairly matched together its deffinetly a good run for both cars.. and i have raced other TL's with intakes and exhaust and also the same result i pulled .but i did race a 6MT TL he smoked me but of course..lol

No it won't. The A/T in the TL isn't a DCT/DSG, its a slush box. If anything a turbo A/T would need to upgrade their valvebody asap in order to handle the new power.

1st: Gear ratio
2nd: Weight of the vehicle
3rd: HP and Torque
4th: Power curve in the dyno
Yes TL 5AT is famous for being slow. It's got worlds tallest gears ever, with 4th & 5th gear being the worst. 3rd gear isn't that great either compare to the 6MT version. 6MT is just flat out faster car.

I also have a question regarding the auto tranny in the Type S now. I believe the auto Type S has a different tranny thats based on the RL. Does this mean that the automatic Type S's dont suffer as badly from this as the base model TL's?
I have had both a base 07 auto and now a 07 auto Type S and I will say I do like the tranny feel in the S better.

yep...
yep.. TL 6MT will beat you from a dig and will beat you badly in roll races and will rape you to the top speed.
With the VSC/ TRAC Off and ECT Off it'll do 4.7 sec 0-60 and very low 13's ET.
With Traction Control On both cars will go slower.
The 6speed base TL is quite a bit quicker. Honda hasnt quite gotten the auto tranny thing down yet..
Drove a IS350 recently, and it only comes in automatic only, but that thing hauls ass.
