What this tells you is that average condition TL-S might be able to beat nissan leaf in 0-60 drag race.

6.4 sec 0-60 for the 2003 TL-S
5.8 sec 0-60 for the 2003 CL-S

Seems like too big of a difference for cars that are so similar no?

The CL-S is a lot lighter and it's offered with a manual transmission.

From the numbers my TL ran at the track, I got exactly 6.6-6.8 seconds using the http://www.wallaceracing.com/0-60_equation.php.

10.027 1/8 mile at 73.94
9.998 1/8 mile at 73.06

AT and traction really detract from the TL's 0-60 time.

As much as I love the TL-S, I like my TL-P alot too. I got a hell of a deal on it and just broke 71k miles so still in great shape. Got a good deal on it too.

I looked at both the p and the s ..... what made the s the choice for me was the fact that the gas mileage was about the same...

Of course...I imagine that's partly due to the fact that we have to run premium.
