I'd take those Motortrend Stats w/ a grain of salt --> 6.28 seconds on a TL-S? None of you will ever achieve that in a stock TL-S. You'll be very lucky to see a 6.5 second run. And the only way you'll see a 6.5 second run is gunna be in 35F weather w/ the Michelins warmed up after about one hour of driving aggressively. Motortrend adjusts times to a std. temp and humidity -- I gotta believe this is a simple mathematical equation, I think they also take elevation into account. Further, they brake-torque the car like hell --they'd have to in order to produce results CLOSE to 6.28 seconds.
There is NO way the 6.7 time is accurate either --> Go buy a TL-P, take it to the track after about 5000 miles of break-in --> and test it out .. I guarantee you won't break 7.0 seconds. Someone prove me wrong.

MT times are always low. They are consistent though. They 0-60 time for the TL-s and CL-s are pretty much the same, which is believable. If you compare thier times for car A vs. car B, they should be directly related to what you'd find at the drag strip. For example, the 1/4 mile time for a Type-S is 14.7 and a GS300 (auto) is 15.7. If you raced a GS300 in the 1/4 mile, you should beat it by about a second.
