This thread has been kind of forgotten, but I just wanted to say to those who are complaining about TSX being heavy that the weight only matters when u start off a stand-still position. When you hit ~60-70 mph, the acceleration becomes much slower due to the resistance of air. From this point on, weight maters less and it's all about drag, power, and torque. As mentioned previously, and as we all know, TSX has quite a bit more torque than a Civic Si, so it has an advantage at high speed. In fact, if you perform a 1 or 2 mile long run (which I know nobody does) TSX might well come out as a winner since it will have less troubles fighting the resistance of air at high speeds (90+ mph). I know on my own experience that my automatic TSX was catching up with an RSX-S after we both hit 90 mph, but I lost miserably at the beginning due to the weight.

Of course reflashed TSX's are in even better position with TQ extended all the way to 6k rpms and power increase from 5k. I am just trying to clarify the situation here
