Wrong. If both models are 2000 and none has a manual, the TL will beat it 0-60 and in the 1/4 mile. Check car-stats.com: the TL is faster by a full second to 60 and a full second in the 1/4 mile.

Even though the 300 has more power, it weighs more

I got completely owned by a 300M in my '99 TL-P. We both gunned it at 80mph...got up to about 120 on the highway. He stayed in front the whole time by half a car length. Now my Type-S might have given the 300M a good run but those things have some power..don't underestimate them. :p Good luck!

good choice.. the 300M sucks, it looks kinda ghey imo and the interior isnt nice at all.

I don't even race those in my TLS anymore. Once I figured out two years ago how slow they were, I gave up.

Therein lies your problem. From 80mph on up, you are already out of third gear range and will lose to most other cars.
Had you been racing 0 to 60 you would have beaten him.

I made the same mistake with a Saab when I first got my TL; we gunned at over 75mph and he gained on me. Two minutes later we had to slow to 30mph or so and I gunned again in 3rd gear and pulled quickly on him.

Use third to 115 or so....At 80 you can go to third and put down some power as you are in VTEC range.
