Care to back that up?
0-60 in the 6 to 7 second range is quite fast for a family car.
As for torque, those J30 engines have quite a fat torque curve and good gear ratios. Dont know what you're talking about

good luck guys, already kicked a new 2005 accord. Friend of mine was talking trash allnight we started from lights and my Tl pulled half a car length right from the start. I took it up to 120km and looked over my shoulder and started laughing. I don't even have good tires.

Don't V6 accords do 7 seconds 0-60 and low 15s in the 1/4 mile?
Why would a "low" end honda model be able to beat honda's luxury equivalent?
I know TL-s can own any accord. Even the V6 coupes. Probably not the TL-Ps...

Are we talking about the coupe? Didn't someone run a 13.9 with just an intake and slicks? I'd like to see a TL do that.

Don't need to read anything like I said I killed one no prob 240 means nothing. You should know that torque is more important

5.9 0-60 for a 6spd 240HP sounds about right, but whoever drove during that run knows how to shift perfectly. I think that is a little low but possible. I beleive 6.3 0-60 is more realistic which falls right in line with a AT TL-S. The AT V6 accord would get beat easily by a TL-S. A TL-P w/headers woudl beat a AT V6 accord which supposedely does 0-60 in 6.7 secs which is what 00-03 TL-p's run. Add headers and you win easily. Shit my 99 tl-p w/headers and k&n filter beat a '04 Maxima a few weeks ago(I know a lot of you don't beleive me still)! The point the V6 accords are fast, but not faster than our TL's(except the 6spd, but that's not fair because we don't have the pleasure of a 6spd).

The '03 Accord V6 has a (underrated) 240 hp and weighs a bit less (100 or 200 pounds or so) than a TL-P
Take my word on it. I got an '03 TL-P even though I loved the '03 Accord more at the time. It was the AWFUL exterior of the Accord that convinced me to get a TL-P

Hahahahah maybe you should buy a 2nd gen. or something faster so you would know for yourself. Instead of banning me for talking facts in the off topic car talk forum, you should do some research yourself and realize that I do have more low end torque and that thats why I jumped out a half car in front.... Hahahaha you hater buy a new car hahaha
I HAVE an '03 TL-P and a 1997 TL with 240ish HP.
You dont learn do you?

As for my facts, they're correct. An '03 Accord V6 is faster than a '99-'03 TL-P.
