3674 lbs - 3480 lbs

That's nearly 200 lbs difference between the regular trim 6MT and Type-S 5AT. The '07~'08 regular trim models weight tiny bit more than the '04~'07 models because there are some additional components are installed on the newer model. The weight difference also affects depending on the amount of fluid in the vehicle. The better way to determine cars weight is to base on the manufacturer's website or brochure. Those are new cars. Used cars weight will differ.


The End.

The difference is a difference. It's nothing like what Dave_B has mentioned "40 lbs". He doesn't even admit that he's been wrong the whole time.


This is ridiculous..... this doesn't even need to be an argument. It's so obvious the 6MT version is so much lighter. Case closed.

Okay, reading comprehension completely owns you. See post #20.

And why can't you stay on topic instead of the personal attacks like attacking me in this thread and PMing me and telling me to "f@ck off"? You really can't be 31. It is comical how you choose to bend the data to support your claims about weight and basically say you're right and Honda is wrong. I was man enough to admit my 40lbs guessimate was off and I posted links from Honda themselves showing the correct data. Instead, you choose to take the lightest TL 6MT and compare it to the heavy TL-S 5AT which by the way has a good bit more HP/TQ and more useable powerband to negate that additional weight. I think you need to get yourself back to logic school because you're making any sense.

As for listed curb weight, you don't know what the hell you're talking about. It's pretty much up to the manufactuer how they want to list the weight. It really doesn't matter to the DOT as long as you're not under-reporting the weight. Some cars are listed at dry weight; some "wet" or full of fluids; or in BMW's case, and the weight is listed with a 160lb driver. The only way you'll really know is to pay $10 and put the car on the truck scales.

I'm done with you.

I am not supporting anybody here but everytime I read a post by Dave B, its either he would be putting down Honda/ Acura or defending Nissan/Infiniti. I think he should only post in the Nissan/Infiniti forums if he does not like Honda/Acura to avoid offending Acura fanboys over here..No offense meant Dave B but I i can't help but see your definite bias for Nissans which I reckon, you have all the right in the world to have. But if you put down a Honda or Acura in an Acura forum, I think this is REALLY wrong.

I don't have any reading comprehension problems. Read post #24. There I correct your wrong claims (or imaginations). It is your ignorance that is the problem.



And why can't you stay on topic instead of the personal attacks like attacking me in this thread and PMing me and telling me to "f@ck off"?
No need to bring up PM messages in the public. It doesn't help your end by doing it. I can't believe by looking at your age.

You really can't be 31.
Read above post.


It is comical how you choose to bend the data to support your claims about weight and basically say you're right and Honda is wrong.

I was man enough to admit my 40lbs guessimate was off and I posted links from Honda themselves showing the correct data.
Honda isn't wrong. You, like you said it yourself, "you guestimated" that the AUTO tranny on the TL is 40 lbs lighter than the 6MT TL. You guestimated WITHOUT carefully checking the source. Wait, you didn't even look at the source. How pitty are you. And you whine about my behavior toward you? What the hell?


You choose to take the lightest TL 6MT and compare it to the heavy TL-S 5AT which by the way has a good bit more HP/TQ and more useable powerband to negate that additional weight.
Choose what? Did I have to choose? Why? That is the FACT. The Regular trim 6MT TL weighs far less (near 200 lbs) than the TL-S 5AT. I merely pointed out what the weight differences are. What is the need for you to shiver? Are you afraid of something? You so.....damn.... defensive.


I think you need to get yourself back to logic school because you're making any sense.
Uh huh, yes, I do make "any" sense.



As for listed curb weight, you don't know what the hell you're talking about. It's pretty much up to the manufactuer how they want to list the weight. It really doesn't matter to the DOT as long as you're not under-reporting the weight.

The only way you'll really know is to pay $10 and put the car on the truck scales.
I don't know what the hell I'm talking about? This is what I mean... you get all upset and try to tell me I don't know what the hell I'm talking about. I DO know what the hell I'm talking about. Manufacturer's listed weight is good reference to go by. These are all official claims and are valid. The bottom line is that the TL 6MT is always considerably lighter than the AUTO in '04~'08 Acura TL cars that are out. Just because some improved AUTO tranny produced by the other make/model doesn't mean it applies to Acura. You spew sh#t without looking up the data carefully. You don't even read them.



I'm done with you.
You are backing off because you ran out of your excuses.


Here comes two for ya.

That too. He has problems with Honda and loves his *Infiniti* G35, or anything *Nissan*. He is too crazy about having *Nissan Torque*. He has so much of pride with *AUTO* tranny because THAT is what he owns and thinks he is good at launching so he has a tendency to put down on other makes/models and FWD trains. I have been reading his posts for over a year. It is so obvious even in this thread.



I think he should only post in the Nissan/Infiniti forums if he does not like Honda/Acura to avoid offending Acura fanboys over here..
I really think, I really, really think he doesn't even deserve to post anything in the Nissan forum either. It's an embarrassment for the manufacturer, ANY manufacturer. I was thinking of buying me a brand new '08 Infiniti G35 Sport 6MT but I feel embarrassed driving one because of him spewing crap all over the internet.

Btw, thank you for your comments.

I'm gonna have to call you on that. Base 6MT generally dynos~225 stock vs. ~235 for the TL-S 5AT. Torque disparity is roughly the same, giving the Base 6MT an ever so slight power/weight advantage and once you factor in the slushbox factor, the base model is a bit quicker. Conservatively speaking, we'll say 14.5 vs. 14.6.

But, that's a huge difference because the 5AT TLs are lucky to get into the 14s. There's already one TL-S 5AT that's run a legit and documented 14.3@98mph. Granted it was a good track, but still, that's substanially quicker and faster than any 5AT TL, stock or NA modded. Peak HP is great for bragging rights, but power under the curve is what really accelerates a car. Adding 15whp/15wtq across the powerband is going to accelerate the car harder than adding 30whp from 6000rpms to 7000rpms. Peak HP sells cars, power under the curve is what wins races.

^ He was talking about regular trim 6MT vs. Type-S 5AT. The 14.3 @ 98 mph, like you said, was done on a good track,... and it was MODDED. It's not pure stock. He also empty out the trunk, no spare tire, removed all mats, near empty tank of gas, etc. It's not a STOCK factory original state as if it just came out of a factory. The extra torque and hp on the Type-S 5AT isn't enough to take out the super-efficient regular trim 6MT cars. I was gonna correct you on that too, but forgot to mention it. You just got corrected again. To wrap up, anx1300c is correct. He got you corrected as well. Double pwnage.

It's like you got sandwiched...

I won't worry too much about power under the curve for most Honda engines. Even their 4-cylinder engines make quite a bit of torque throughout the rpm range. For instance, the K24 in the TSX makes more torque at every single rpm than the 2.5L V6 engine in the IS250 6MT.

This is funny.... I was speaking of Acura TL 6MT and he posts Honda Accord V6 hitting 14.24. Acura TL 6MT = Honda Accord

They are the same car? Wow, I didn't know that.

F23A4 - Hey bro, why can't we link any thread from V 6 p e r f o r m a n c e . net?

Every time I try to put in the link it automaticaly deletes the name unless I space it like that.
