Will I beat this guy?

I have a 2001 Acura Tl Type-S (auto) and my friend has a late model Nissan Z that runs a 0-60 time of 7.1 seconds. He thinks his convertible will beat my sedan. I told him get real and that I would his car. None of us have any mods who do u think will win and by how much.

I believe it is a 300 Z but it does not have the turbos or the twin-turbos. If it did I would be screwed.

If he really runs a 7.1 to 60, then you shouldn't have a problem beating him.

I didn't know they made TL Type-S in 2001? I thought it was introduced as a 2002 or 2003 model?!?

my brother hada 300Z 2+2 (1993) and now a TL-S...
I drive a 1st gen CL...


TL-S blows the Z outta the water... my pops still has the Z... I beat it with my CL 3.0.... the Z is a PIG through 3rd gear... then up high she rips ass! If its a convertible, its even heavier and definitely NOT a TT...


you will take it for all its worth!!!!!

With drivers being equal, 5 to 1 odds the CL wins!

Dude, a non-TT Z car (222hp) can be beaten by Nissan Sentra Spec V without too much of a fight. Judging by his 0-60 time (source?), you'd probably annihilate him.

Peace.

Thanks guys for the posts yes I do have a 2002 Acura Tl Type-S the 2001 was a typo I was rushing to get to b-bal practice on time. The 7.1 0-60 time is accurate I checked it up my self and it is a convertible. He thinks he is all bad ass with the stick.
