You will be able to smoke both of those cars. The TL is a beast and can hold its own for a 4 door sedan.

I dunno about the BMW, itll definetely get the jump on you from a dig, and you'll pull away the Mustang easily.

If it was a 540 I would be worried but it will be really close with the 528 but you will pull slightly at the higher end

If you go from a roll start at about 40-50 in 2nd and you well get maximum pull.

If you go from a dig I would just let the transmission do the shifting.

A 540 will beat you and you will beat a 528, a 535 should be a good race. You should also be able to take the Stang.

^ I think the 535i will smoke our TL (auto and 6MT). The 535i auto does the 1/4 mile in 14.0 seconds. As you can see I'm not there yet (14.29 sec) lol

btw-I just realized I made a mistake and wrote 14.92 sec instead of 14.29 in my signature

the mustang with the V6 if its the newer body style 05+ they are decently quick. A 5spd Manual V6 stang can be in the low 15's. Any older Mustang V6 is just plain slow and isn't worth racing or wasting the gas. I don't know what year the 528i is but you should beat any year or any transmission 528i. The older they are the slower they get!

A 535i will take you. A 545i or 550i will destroy you. A 2004-2005 530i you should beat. A 2006+ 530i will be a good race. A 528i (E39) you will destroy. A new 528i will be a good race, but you will win.
