Anyone know how we stack up agains the new TL's? Both The regular Tl and the TL-S ?
I would safely assume the TL-S 2007 takes us to school...lol....


Any stories?

If you were stock it would be a close "drivers" race with the TL, but the TL-S should smoke a stock CL-S. Judging from this info at tirekick.com

I know that the ( CL-S)6speed can take a New TL if the driver is good enough!!! The TL-s well if you don't have mods for example intake... headers... exhaust you don't have a chance (against a new TL-s) unless you working with a comptech S/C then we are talkin( but then wouldn't that be cheating) LOL!!!

Jrezo

TL-s 1/4 = 14.2 qt. mile time

for a CLS6 thats a pretty good chance and a great race if you ask me, stock for stock

VIPCLS

Good info!

There was a CL-S 6 in here that said they raced a TL-s and smoked it but I think that it was driver error, not a fair run.

07 TL-s auto 3636 lbs.
07 TL-s 6 3559 lbs
03 CL-s 6 3446 lbs


tl-s 6 redline is 6800rpm

This is a great race someone should get some vids

A stock tl-s will smoke a stock cl-s 6 speed..more torque and more hp

Sun Diego CL-S

i'm pretty sure it would be neck in neck. especially 6 spd CL-S vs. AT 3G TL-S.


not too long ago, i ran a 3rd Gen TL from my San Diego crew. he's got AEM intake with thermal wrap, full pulley set, set of 3 high flow cats(due to the 3G TL's lack of headers), resonator delete and Thermoblok plenum spacers. at the time, i only had Comptech headers, Icebox with the K&N filter and Thermobloks. from 20-85 mph, i put just over a car and a half in length. i also have run a 6 speed 3G TL with the AEM CAI plus decent driver and ran from 80 mph to the top of third(~110 mph) with my aforementioned mods and put half a carlength on him. i've also pulled on other low speed rolls and digs.

CL Platano

remember Luis he said stock for stock not modded..

Sun Diego CL-S

right. i think what i said in my post would still hold. but i would still like to see a video.

Jabodacious

All reviews I have seen of STOCK specs has the new TL-S over 1/2 second faster than even the CL-S 6M in the 1/4 mile.

YMMV

Yea the new tl-s has got some moves!...
maybe ill get lucky and find a 06 TL on the road one of these days who wants to play (safely of course) =)

01clsstock

i pulled on a 07 tls auto form 20-100 and all i had in my 01 cls was xs headers... i raced my friend twice and the results were the same

jlspeed29

Thats what i was hoping would happen!
Nice

jlspeed29

01csstock! we need vids! as someone noted above!

Sun Diego CL-S

good. i thought so. that's whay i bet the 6 speed 3G TLS and CLS will be even as i mentioned before.

Jrezo

provide the camara and the 07 tl-s, i'll bring the Black Beauty CLS-6

Jrezo

LL, whats up with a wack street legal night? 1/8 mile and get a 07tl-s down to Qualcomm for a fun run?

I need to buy a video camara anyways, Jr. Jrezo's birth


I think it would be an even closer race off the start and ending a race at an 1/8


Get a feeler in the TL fourm--- ? SD Run baby

Sun Diego CL-S

i once went with a few guys from the SD crew. noone ran but, i was thinking of it. by the way, i've been thinking of running YOU. an AT CLS with my mods should be even with you and your 6 speed. how abouts it?

and yeah, we should go to Race Legal sometime soon. give me a ring.

that's about enough thread highjacking.

subbuzz

i got a freshly broken in 07 tl-s ready to go with any cl-s 6-speed.(stock for stock or minor bolt on-s) i'm gonna try to contact MyClType-s and get a run on vid but he's been mia for a while. i know he can drive, plus i owe him one for KILLING my 3.0 when he got his cl-s.......


his cl-s 6 speed vs an auto cl-s

Just for the thread sake, but not really related to the topic what is the TL Aspec of the 3rd gen version of the TL?

Sun Diego CL-S

as far as i know, they applied a stiffer suspension and body kit only.

Jrezo

I love it. Its on. Have you ever ran at Race legal? You need a helmet and not the one you use for your roller blades LOL

Jrezo

SubBuzz you AT or 6


Iam excited cant wait for Vids

Sun Diego CL-S

i was actually thinking that we should run on or possibly off of the track at the Q.
you down?

Jrezo

Can you just go up in there and run? You mean just run through the lot? Im down. Do they have security or someone on guard?

I would perfer to run off track, but somewhere safe


Got a camara?

Sun Diego CL-S

we'll find a spot the next time you come out to a local meet. i'll borrow a video camera for it so i won't have to use a digital.

Jrezo

cbusAcuracls

Make sure you guys get good video...I know I speak for alot of people when I say I'm excited to see this little experiment.
If its possible...compare a Auto CL-s, 6sp Cl-s and a New Tl-s that would make my year!!!

Jrezo

We need help with a TL-S. Know anyone in San Diego with one?

Sun Diego CL-S

there's just one guy who's posted with a 3rd Gen TL-S. but he hasn't posted for quite a while now.

subbuzz

i'm auto, my boy with the cl-s auto rode in mine and refuses to run................

jlspeed29

Last friday night me and my g/f were on the way home on the 101 from pf changs and this black tl pulls next to me, pauses then guns it....and i was like "wtf" is he trying to race me? then he slows down right next to me and keeps pace with me at about 80mph

by then it was obvious and the lanes were clear ahead of us so we gun it, we stay pretty much even for a bit then i start creeping on him and by the time we hit 100 i had about a fender and gaining.....then he slams on his brakes! literally hahahah down to like 50mph... ???? so i slow and then he flys by me like at 120 hahahaha... funny stuff..lolol

maybe ill catch him around 20mph next time or something...or in 2nd or 3rd gear muhahaha

Sun Diego CL-S

that^ sounds about right. you have an intake and who knows what he had.

a little deviation here but, i gotta say that me and Jrezo ran the other day. and the theory about an AT CLS with I/H vs. a stock 6-spd being even seems to stand true. the only difference in our case was that i also have a crank pulley and he had a custom intake setup which is fair to say offset each other. we tried nearly ten runs both from stops and different speed rolls. we came to the conclusion that we were definitely neck in neck. whoever got the lead from the start held it in place.

Josh is an excelent shifter i must add. we got some videos but, they were not in-car ones. therefore, they aren't quite great indicators of how even we really were. there was a fellow AZer recording with his camera and he has a 3G TL with the AEM. on our last run, he followed us. we totally left him behind. i'll post some video as soon as i can get it from him.

so any word on the videos yeat?

BTW i would race mine's but i can't drive both my cars

Jrezo

They were damb good runs and I got to give it up to Luis, his set up is pretty Nice. Our run was about an 1/8 mile with a slight up hill. I couldn't run threw 3rd and I think Luis was just hittin his 3rd. Great experiment and it was alot of fun


Man our CLS are great

subbuzz

no cl-s around the nj area wants to play with an 07 tl-s AUTO for fun/bragging rights??!!

i'll go easy on you

pits200

I am working here in Newark, NJ and have a 01 CL-S with a few mods. If you wanna give your TL-S a working, bring it on buddy.


Are there any tracks around here??

Sun Diego CL-S

i'd like to see this happen, subbuzz. DO IT!
