Talking SC430 vs TLS: Poll

Okay folks, it's time to place your votes.

This Friday at the Texas Motorplex they will be featuring a match up of a Lexus SC430 verses an Acura TLS.

So it's time to put up or shut up.

Who will win, what are your predictions.

The TLS specs are as posted below. Still waiting to hear if the SC430 is competely stock or not, but it's going to be a race either way.

Go here to place your vote.

See my reply in the CL-S forum Ruf. I think it will depend on the driver as this is a throw up.

It will be definately a close race. I hope you have some drag radials or something. I say he takes the launch but 3rd gear VTEC never loses!!

Best of luck and let us know!

TL-S has no chances above 80mph and even less above 100mph.

I saw it.

BTW - I'm starting get worried. The guy with the SC430 is getting cold feet. :banghead:

If he no-shows, then he forfeits all glory and honor.

They'll be approaching 100, but not getting there.

And my car is far from slow from 80 up. It's from 100+ where that tall 4th gear kills the fun.

BINGO! That's what I told the guys on the CL board, I'm good to 105 easily and even ran the heck out of to 115 a few times. I'll have to check, but I think I was able to take 3rd to 115, but it may be off as its been awhile.

Matter of fact, on the street race with a different SC430 we went from 50 and he could not close on me all the way up to 95, so I bet that he wouldn't up to 110 to 115.
