What does the Auto 5 speed do in 0-60 in?
Does any one know or have a hard data on this. Does the Auto tranny suck that bad and take up that much HP to make the car slow?

an Acura has-been
I have not seen an Auto reported on by a magazine yet, Acura said it was around 6.6seconds at the ride and drives.
All reviews with test equipment have been the 6spd MT

From: Yahoo! Canada Autos Review:
The 6-speed manual offers light, purposeful shifts while the clutch pedal requires a firm push and a delicate clutch engagement to prevent lurching. The manual transmission includes a self-adjusting clutch and a dual-mass flywheel. With the manual tranny, Acura quotes 0 to 60 mph times of only 6.3 seconds, while TLs with the automatic do the same distance in 7.2 seconds. The engine lets out a mild roar under hard acceleration, but is otherwise extremely quiet, as is the cabin in general.
No doubt with a little throttle and some careful engaging of the clutch, you can get the manual to perform better as some of the testers have found. The automatic seems to be quoted about the same as last year's stock TL. Hmmm..

It's NOT right. Did ya see the mag that it was taken from? Uhhh, Canadian. Nope, no credibility here! 7.2...that's a bunch of horse shiit and we all know it.
Trust me, if it was 7.2 I WOULDN'T be even considering the Auto TL. I would settle for an Audi! HA LOL! Now I'm gonna here it from the Audi lovers...SHUT THE HELL UP! I trest drove an Audi and didn't like it so there! AHHHHH!
I have read that the Auto does 6.3 seconds at the high end and some guy in this forum has quoted 6.1 as his best time and 6.3 as his slowest time. I can't remember which thread it was but it was in here.

I bet all the 6 speed guys are laughing at us saying "should have got the 6 speed":thefinger Well I know the 7.2 second 0-60 is bull$hit. I just scanned the Honda Accord 0-60 time for the 6-cylinder auto from C&D and they are getting 7.0. That car only has 240 and no SS mode for the tranny. So kick that 7.2 :bigun2: :rocketwho time to the curb.

0-60 5AT
Here's the link:
http://ca.autos.yahoo.com/cd/tstdrv/...04acuratl.html
The author merely quotes Acura. I was refering to last year's non-S TL time 0-60 time. Since I own a new 5AT I'd be interested in a real test time if anyone can find it.

Donte, no one has published any independent, instrumented numbers for the 5AT. All the reviews I've seen simply quote Acura. I don't even care to guess, I'm too busy driving.

I have a G-Tech and have tested every car I've owned the past several years. Below are the results of the cars I own now. The G-Tech is very accurate, within a .1 of a Sec.
2003 Corvette Z06 4.2 (Would do better with better Driver)
2002 Camaro Z-28 Auto 5.2 (Bone Stock)
2004 Acura TL Auto 6.3 (W/Traction off 1,050 Miles)
2003 Chevy S10 P/U 5spd 4 banger No time (went to sleep)

For example, with a manual transmission, sometimes 60 m/h is the limit (redline) for the 2nd gear. So, 0-60 will be fast but 0-100km/h will be much slower since a shift to 3rd gear has to be made...Same things happen with an automatic.
With that said, I am not sure if this explains the big difference between the auto and 6mt times for the TL...

Thanks to you, I'm probably going to order a G-Tech Competiton today. I hate you!![Wink](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
And, I'll probably get my first moving violation a day or two after it arrives! :cop:

Here are the times from three runs, see the thread for more details:
#1 1/4 mile: 14.75 @ 95.5
0-60: 6.27
#2 1/4 mile: 14.75 @ 96.3
0-60: 6.30
#3 I ran one more 0-60.
0-60: 6.15
I have not had a chance to retest at a higher mileage yet.

They calculate times as in linear motion ..they dont compensate for shifting ....
they could very well be off by 1/2 to a full second ...

Consumer Reports got 6.7 for the auto, but we can be sure their testing procedures are conservative.

So I guess acura_driver times are pretty accurate. Also with only 680 miles on his car at the time of the test we can expect to be going faster. Ok this makes me feel a lot better. I can now drink myself into oblivion for the New Year and not worry that I have a slow ass car.
