Thank you everyone for the information. I appreciate all the information.
I 
am still wondering if a sequential s****t ****fter like in the Acura TSX
would 
make the car faster than using the regular auto mode?

I wanted to say that although the manual ****fting can be fun, I don't
think 
that it really works that well with the car for performance. Today I
thought 
I would try a test against a Kia Amanti using the manual ****fting method
in 
my 2008 EXL Accord Auto. I had trouble keeping up using the ****fting
method. 
Then at the next light I put it in D3 and my rpms hit about 5500 rpms I
and 
blew the doors off the Kia Amanti. So maybe its just better suited that
way 
and should only be used to control the revs or slow down faster etc.
