TL eats it.

So I'm on my lovely journey to work this morning and I'm minding my own business when this stupid ass in a white Acura TL flies by me and cuts me off and then gets stuck at the same light as me. I blew it off and just ignored him but further down on the same road he some how got behind me again cut me off again in his efforts to be first at this light. But this time the lane to the right of him. He just looks at me and I looked back and smirked . The light turns green and I don't take off HARD just kinda quick because I'm not sure if he is going to race or not. Sure enough he took off hard. I shifted into second at like 4K because I wasn't sure what he was going to do but I punched it in second pulled and pulled and pulled. It was early so I let off at like 80 and had a bus or 2 on him .

That is all. Just thought I would tell my morning wake up story .

ok well even the tl made from 2004 and up had 270hp vtec. my mom drives a 2006 six speed tl and that will get up and go. it hits 150 like nobodys business. you wouldnt walk that even if you were modded a little lets put it that way. was the tl you raced the new one or older one? was it auto or not? that plays a big difference. hell the tl you raced could have just been a bitch and not floored it, just driving spirited, you never know. nonetheless, good kill

i have no clue what year it was but i did my research the regular TL's are low 15 second cars cuz they weigh a ton. Type-S are right in the same range as the Cobalts and Redlines.

New SAE ratings killed that quick - they are re-rated to 252 hp now, and the TLS is a solid 286. 06+ ratings reflect the changes. Still quick cars, and damn good looking.

Probably was an auto. The 6 speeds are decent as someone posted above. The autos are a dog. My mom has an auto one and the way that tranny shifts is horrid.
