As far as any one knows are these correct, as it looks the 2000 is .5 second quicker to 60 vs. the 99...as i know. but with only "25" more HP the 99 is .5 secon quicker to 60 than the 01 accord...just wondering. not sure where i was going with it but ive driven a 00 accord ex v-6 and it feels significatly slower than my TL. where there any big changes in gears other than engine size, or anything else?

 

1999- were 4-speed and 2000+ are 5-speed auto, I believe.

 

i dont think a regular TL-P is that quick, just look at the tires they are skinny.

 

So you know how fast a car is by its tire size? That's an amazing gift!

 

 

Well i guess what i was really asking was how is the 99 is half a second quicker to 60 than the accord? and the tires...seriously?

 

I honestly don't believe the difference between the 99 vs. 00-03 TL-P is .5 difference. the 00-03 stock vs. 99 stock, the 00-03's are faster, but they don't feel mucher quicker at all. The extra gear in the tranny for the 00-03's does make a difference in performance, also in the reliability of the tranny hahaha. the 98-02 AV6's are slow to me.

 

 

Damn, and all this time I've been thinking it's because of the amount of displacement, # of cam gears, # of valves, size of headers, diameter of intake pipe, bore of the throttle body, diameter of the exhaust pipe, and ecu programming. Guess I was waaaaaayy off.

 

The 03-05 and especially the 06 AV6 are very fast for a 3.0L engine (especially in 6MT form).

I also agree about the transmissiosn. It's best to get a '99 since the 4 speed is more reliable.

 

I see thin tires .. Hmm yup .. These things are slow as hell then.
