raced a 03 tls last night.

i was on my way home from my fiance house when i decided to go for a little drive before i went home. as i went on old country road a black 03 tls pulled up to the light with two other kids in the car. so we start talking and he asks how i like the new tl and i said i love it then he says wanna run, i was waiting for it. so we raced just once from light to light and i beat him by a car and a tad more. I was shocked because he had comptech exhaust un less he didn't get a good start, oh well a win is a win..

Nice kill vin.

I wouldn't have expected the CT exhaust to make a difference on their car. The new TL would school an old one stock for stock. No question.

BTW where on OCR was this?

Yeah your right. Auto for auto (like Vin has) a win wouldn't be a given.

Nice kill! Exhaust only gives about 2 to 4 hp at the most.

Yeah, stock auto vs stock auto should be a good match although I would expect the new TL to win more often then not. not a big difference between the two cars though.

A stock manny 04 vs a modded (headers/exhaust/intake or icebox) TLS would be a good match as well.

Vin, if there's an acura wars II in april should go. I'll try and be there if possible. There should be stock and modded CLS/TLSs.

dude...every time he floors it when I'm in the car I get more and more impressed. The shit moves and it moves hard. And for those that have really had the chance to drive a new TL you should know what I mean. I'm actually kinda scared cause the shit does seem to feel faster than my car!!!I ain't joking...when we go to the track were gonna alternate drivers and I'll see what I can get out of it.
