how FAST is the TL-S?

like what cars can and can't the TL-S beat? mostly without mods, but a CAI could also be accepted. also, is it true that there is a power decrease after tranny replacements and if so, will the TL-S be significantly slower? finally, will a new suspension make the TL-S faster? if ya then how much? thx ahead for the fast responses.

The TL-S beats most japanese cars besides from the G35s, STIs, NSX, Evos, new Altima SE-Rs, 350Zs, M35s, Q45s and anything jap that has a V8 in it. The ITR can beat the TL-S also lol.

I don't know much about americans, not my strong point.

Germans, well, you can beat all entry level BMWs, Audis, Volks and Benzs. When they put the big V8s in them, we can't compete.

Yes, suspensions might help the car go faster, since the car is lower, the initial start is better since the engine has to work less to "lift" your car.

edit:
TLS numbers: 0-60: 6.2sec
1/4 mile: 14.8sec
if you wanna compare them to others

do a search this has been discussed many times. its not all the car, it also comes down to the driver.

get out there and start racing (id suggest a drag strip so you arent endangering people) and see for your self (but at 15 that may be a lil hard).

any thing that adss power helps

the tranny will hold up fine against i/h/e I have had mine on sense it was driven off the dealership floor and i am at 75000 and still original tranny. 02tl-s, and dont quote me on this but i would say the M3 is faster, dont know what the e36 means older or newer but the newer ones for sure will take a tl-s

If I have to say the car in the same class:Infiniti G35 Sedan, Lexus ES330, BMW 330Ci, Mercedes C320, Chrysler 300C Hemi, Audi A6 3.0, Lincoln LS V6, Cadiallac CTS. TL-S Stand alone to be the best!!! That's the bottom line.

E36 will win. They can run 14.4 I believe, but even crappy drivers run 14.6-14.7 (and thats all stock). You have a chance if you got i/h/e
