'03TL-S vs. '04-'06 TL 6speed

I'll make this short and sweet like the race was. Me and the fiance were sitting at a light about to get on an on ramp with a silver TL 6speed next to me. Middle aged guy alone revs the engine a little, I torque brake, light goes green, I took him off the line and by the time I hit 80 I was a little more than a car and a half ahead and pulling when i shut it down. Disappointing the guy stayed a ways back after that, oh well, it was fun!!!

I am planning to after I finish modding my car. I have a few more things I want to do such as VAFC and hopefully intake manifold plenum that is being talked about on the CL side, then get her tuned and dynoed. Here is the link to the intake manifold plenum I am talking about: https://acurazine.com/forums/ramblings-12/watch-advice-191848/

I've taken a 3G before. Even though she had a better launch, I still managed to walk past her until I got about a car length away... then I had to slow down because my turn was coming up and we were doing 90+ in a 55 zone. Then she ran the red light shortly after i jumped into the turn lane.

I wonder if shes on Azine.. both her and her friend were cute

I beat an '04 like two years ago. I believe it was a 5MT...could have been an Auto. Either way we went from a dig to about 120 (stupid! At least it was an open freeway w/ no cars). Only had him by like 1/2 a car. It was fun though, both gave the and went our seperate ways.
