The new Accord 2.0T manual has the same issue. The acceleration numbers are almost identical to the SI. I'm sure that's the reason these cars respond so well to flashes.First thing that came into mind.
Previously the SI was N/A the power was always there even after each shift.
With the new turbo engine, if you release the gas pedal for shifting the car losses boost pressure and momentum. It has to build boost again on the next shift. I know isn't a lot of time but it hurts anyway.
With all the fuss of the whp numbers I was expecting people making mid 14's in average stock but that isn't the case. The car is performing (acceleration wise) like the old ones.
Accord/Civic
0-60 6.1 vs 6.3
1/4 mile 14.7 at 98 vs 14.8 at 96
C&D tests.
Noel, does your Mitsubishi do this as well(lose boost on shifts)??
