Ok I honestly don't know jack about legends. As far as performance my SVT has Borla, K&N thats it. My buddy was saying that the old legend came 6-speed and that it was really rare. Anyway he says that the MTX 6 -speed legend with COMPLETELY OWN my SVT. Anyone shed some light on this?

Um no, go ahead without fear.
I was the hamster, I was scared until I took my friends legend and the old ones did come in a 6 speed.

My buddy had an old legend, 89 I think. HIs was a five speed; I never heard of a six speed. His car ran good, we would hang off the line together but at about 6K I would out pull him in every gear. It was a slow process, but I would be almost a carlength at the end of first and a couple of lenghts in second. When i drove it, it felt very similar to the svt in power, but maybe a bit more torquey off the line than mine did. He could never beat me with it though.

The 6-speed stick was offered with the uplevel 230hp V6 in the GS Sedan and LS Coupe. Not sure of other specific applications, but I do remember those two.
C&D ran a 6-spd Coupe to 60mph somewhere in the mid or low 6-second range way back when. I'm sure I can dig it up if anyone's that curious...

I don't know if the ACURA ledgend is anything like the Type R... but I've raced a REAL Type R before at the track(note: not a fake one with badging of type R)
He had ike a 2.2 60 foot, and ran a 15.3xx (beating me... I think maybe because my excessive tire hop) cause after I left 1st gear, I was right there the whole time.

Go for it, you can take the Acura without a dought, just get a good launch with the CSVT and all you'll see is Acura in the rearview mirror
