he probably had intake, headers, and exhaust and other stuff... don't worry, an Accord with those can beat a stock TL - which lacks high-end torque

Damn that sux. I raced a 4 door Accord, pretty sure it was a V6. He had some 17's and the usual mods. I revved at him so he followed me onto I595 and I waited for him, we were side by side and then we both gunned it. I ate him up nasty! TL'z rePreSenT!

(VTEC) What do you have in your car to make it redline 2nd gear at about 75-80 mph?? The 2000 TL redlines 2nd at 60mph exactly. Also, if he had a Supercharger then he wouldnt of been behind you through 2nd gear in less he dosnt know how to drive or he was just messing with you. A super charger usually takes about a second or a little more off the stock time of a car, (or at least HOndas). I think that he had NOS and didnt spray it intill he knew he was going to loose with out it. You should easly be able to pull a stock Accord with out a doubt. The stock time for the car depending on the model is a 15.7-15.9 and the 2000 TL (stock) is a 15.2. Plus the TL tops out at 145 (electronically limited). So you shouldnt be pissed that you lost cause it is easy to make an accord run in the 14's, with the right amount of work. If he was stock then you should of beat the piss out of him. But if he was spraying and did have a super charger then good looks with that race cause thats heafty work and you only lost by a car or so, I would be proud of that.

The TL has no speed limiter.

The only mod that will make an Accord go from a car length behind a TL to way out in front at 80+ mph is nitrous. or a brick wall in the TL's lane...

70mph, maybe a touch higher.
