I'm going to give it to the TL because it weighs around 700 lbs lighter.

1998 BMW 740 had no sport-shift but the tranny can be put into a sport mode that shifts at higher RPM. I would say that 740 should be a little bit faster below 100 mph and will destroy TLP at higher speeds. Official BMW 0-60 mph time was 6.9 sec. Major mags were getting between 6.4 sec and 6.6 sec. The best time I've seen for TL-P was 6.7 sec. I would gate-shift the Acura instead of using SS.

I wouldnt count that 8, rear drive and torque....might be close. But weight is an issue...go run it and report back.
