I am new to tha forum. I'm "J" I live in cali and I have to correct some distorted facts I am hearin on this topic.
I have a 03V6 240hp 6speed accord coupe. No way can the tsx smoke an AV6. I mean the tsx is a 4 door rsx. The honda accord ALSO has a sport tuned suspension, short throw that I have to say is butter to shift, I mean its the same feel as the s2000 and almost like the cl type s. With the cl-type s you 260 with 2-300 more lbs... 240hp with the honda do the math the av6 is faster(not bymuch though? My bro has an acura cl type 6 speed and we were neck and neck. The interior of the av6 is plush and similar in feeling to the acura, except no navi, I have dual zone climate, and the systemis better on the honda than on the acura!!!!!!! hands down. Not offical but I will take it 2 the track to comfirm it but I ran a 14.6 @ 97-98. I mean shit I dont know how to professionally time track times but my bro hectorpushed start when I said go and this certain street in rancho is almost 1400ft long so whatever I want to race it but its only got 500 miles on it!!! it has 17 inch rims the auto only has 16's The honda sticker is 25,900 BUT good luck getting one! demand exceeds supply so expect mark'up!! 5 gs over is where the ONLY other dealer to have one is trying to get 4 it. I got lucky because I knew the sales manager. Try the fleet depo@ the dealer but they wont let it go!! trust me limited production 3500 est. this year!! I might be selling it so let me know if anyone is thinking about it silver w black perf, yes perferated leather(only 6 speed) carbon fiber (only 6 speed) power seat heated seats fast***** car!!!!! well I hope I helped out because the tsx IS underpowered and was reviewed as such.... it may be more luxury but I 'd rather smoke you than say hey nice interior as I blow by your "plush interior!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Welcome to the board bro and congrats on the great car, but you're a little misinformed yourself:
1) The TSX is not a four door RSX. They have absolutely NOTHING in common (no chassis, no suspension components, NOTHING) except for the K block of the engine. The TSX is based off the European/Japanese Accord and comes with a very well tuned suspension.
2) The TSX 6 speed is faster than the 2003 Accord V6 automatic. That's reality. It's due in part to its lower weight, 6 speed transmission, and tall final drive ratio.
3) How can you say the TSX's suspension isn't as good as the 6 speed's until you or anyone else has driven them back to back? You're speculating.
4) Where was the TSX said to be underpowered? That pisses me off, because you made it up. I've read all the reviews, and it's faster than all of its direct competitors.
5) Noone said the 6 speed Accord was slower than the TSX. Relax bro, no need to hate. I love both the 6 speed and the TSX.
6) Anyone who pays over MSRP for the Accord 6 speed is an idiot. They will not be in as high demand as everyone has said...I have heard of noone paying over MSRP for it.
Just curious, why do you want to sell her?
