They need to drop a V6 in the TSX or Give it the S2000 motor.

THats for a manual tranny with probably 50 launches averaged together.... dont you know how they like to overexagerate things. They have PRO drag drivers beating the shit out this car all day long then they take an average of lets say 25 runs and put 15.6 in 1/4 mile. Regular drivers with auto would be in low 16's and manual in high 15's (if they are good). motor trend gave a TSX a 16.1 average between manual and auto. If i'll find a link I'll let ya all know.....
p.S. this is the same case of RX8.... they claimed that rx8 should and would outperform evo8 but hell no.... it barely does high 14's... and if the car been broken in properly...
