My sister has a silver TSX auto. I liked it. Lots of low end torque. I actually (without her knowing it) chirpped 1st and 2nd And took a corner at like twice what is considered legal

those things are pretty quick, but as far as FAST is concerned
fast they are not

i had a TSX auto for the last 4 days while my rsx was in the shop. although i liked it alot.. its far from being "fast"... its just a confortable daily driver with more than enough get up and go.

Eh the 6-speed TL is alright.

It's pretty much like a Mazda6s (i.e. stick shift and V6) but a little bigger, with a nicer interior, a better shifter, a softer ride, and more power.

That seems like a lot of differences but the cars struck me as rather similar, having driven both within the last month or so.

my wife has a 04 6spd manual tsx and it's pretty quick...revs smoothly to redline and you get 80% of torque at 1800rpm...we've so far installed just a cai and had a friend make a shorty header

we are going to get teh hondata ecu later this year and it's supposed to make quite a difference across teh entire rev range

I was about to say the Hondata is a very good mod for them, VTEC engagement is too high stock.

Made you a header, like from scratch?

proly meant fabricated one from a machine shop
shoulda just went with a dc shorty
and yes if you can afford it get a k-pro reflash
lowers high cam engagement
makes a whole world of diference
