Yes I should've. I forgot to turn traction control off though and the way Honda traction control works is that it cuts the fuel to the engine (if I remember correctly) causing your car to bog, cutting the speed the tires should be spinning to get a good launch.

@indujan 2004 Acura Tl has 270 hp...

It Doesn't look like the TL was on it at the end. There is no way an Accord is going to pull off on a TL like that.

@Cash11hall thats either a lie or your friend does not know how to shift or he has a 4 cylinder.

@EDUBLUVSMARZ how is it fake kid? 6 speed accords are faster than auto TLs, thats a fact. They can hang with 6 speed TL's also. You're mad because you own a TL and now you know its slower. sorry

@EDUBLUVSMARZ I remember reading somewhere that the 06 accord has most stock horspower/torque than any of the late model honda acura's

[Cash11hall]

6 speed must be modded trust me I love both cars but I've raced my friends 06 accord 6speed with my tl and I win everytime....

@EDUBLUVSMARZ Extra gear and less weight, makes a huge difference, 6MT Accords run mid 14s at nearly 100 mph bone stock. 5AT TLs run high 14s in the mid 90s stock.

I was curious about this vid so I got my buddy to try the same thing in his same gen TL auto. Asside from a catback (which I had too) the results were pretty similar. But having owned an auto in many pervious cars and seeing the difference between dyno, race and weight in all cases, I wasn't too surprised. Not that it matters, not many people who would buy an auto TL would ever do something like this.
