It's not a TL but I believe you guys share the same engine as the CL-S. Thought you guys would be interested in seeing the results:

I got to dyno my CL-S over the weekend on a Mustang Dyno.

was a little surprised at how much power is lost between the crank and the wheel. 185hp (wheel) vs 260hp (crank)

I also ran the 1/4 mile on the dyno. I first tried with the Sport Shift, but i hit the rev limiter btw second and third gear because I forgot there is a slight delay before the brain tells the tranny to shift.

Then I did it in automatic and damn, the car just about hit redline on ever shift. It was beautiful how well the car did in plain auto drive.

Anyway, the best I did was a 14.77 seconds on the 1/4 mile. I estimate ~15 sec. in real life because the dyno basically didn't let the car spin tire at all during launch.

I also did a quickie install with a K&N filter and did a comparison btw the stock and the more free flowing filter.

By the way, I was running 94 octane fuel.

Here's the link to the rest of the pics and the dyno results: http://www.chikaihuang.com/dyno.html

Auto tranny car usually losts about 25% - 30% power to powertrain.... factor that(30%)in, 185HP seems about right...
