Ran against my first Type-S......
and the results are pretty much what you would expect. I saw him glued to my ass and I sped up to clear traffic and let him into the right lane. Luck was with me and we caught a light.....a silver TL-s with a young guy driving it. Light goes and I dont know why but for some reason neither of us launched hard, it was one of those 'is he gonna go' type starts. Well at about 30mph I see him jump and I nailed it a split-second later and instantly started to pull on him, but not as fast as I thought I would. By 50 I had his nose to my ass and by 75 I managed to put another car on him. I would guess that I would've kept on pulling on him had we gone further, and if we would've both launched hard it would have been much worse for him. But I think all in all he did pretty good.
TL-S's are sweet looking cars, and if I could I'd trade my GTP in for one tomorrow and have the proper go-fast mods on it the next day. I love my GTP but I'm not going to try and kid myself about which is the nicer overall car, at least if I cant have the nicer car I can have the faster car.
Later,

Thanks, it was a fun race against a nice car.
No I dont have the PCM mod on my car, I'm done with mods. I think if I add anymore I'm just going to sign my transmissions death certificate. I'm at 106,000 miles and counting on the original tranny. The car has been modded and driven hard since the warranty ended at 36K. Tell me I didn't get the pick of the litter.......knock on wood!
