i test drove both the 5 speed auto and the 6 speed last night... and I agree, horribly underpowered for that size of car... nice, but Id like something that moves!
that and the red one only comes with a tan interior... blech!

TSX is a nice car but definitely not a racer.
When are you guys going to stop talking HP and start talking torque?
Having 1000HP means nothing when your car weight 5000lb and only put out 160lb of torque.
That's the problem of TSX, 3300lb loaded with only ~160lb of torque. That's weak. RSX has the same torque and less weight which in turn give you better numbers.
IMO, TSX need a tubro to bring the tq up. I've heard rumor that a turbocharged 250HP/200+lb/ft AWD TSX is in prototype form. Final word on production is not decided yet. It could be again a JDM only deal. But keep your fingers crossed.

Even the RSX-S feels sluggish at times, I can't imagine what I'd be getting with the TSX.

Re: ~
yes I agree the TSX is somewhat underpowered to a certain extent, but its got good low end torque, after a few dyno, the TSX actually puts out closer to 210 hp and 177 lb of torque (if I read it correctly)
not to mention, the standard 17" rims are wopping 21 lbs,
so light rims, single exhust and a CF hood, CAI should be able to put the car into the high 14 sec range. Which is excellent, because this is a fun car with all the right stuff.
if I wanted more speed I'll get a TL
