07/8 TLS vs. Caddy SRX
I was in Va beach for a day and decided to get fancy and get a Caddy instead of the standard dodge charger or avenger. After a few games of pool with a couple buddies, i was headed back to the hotel room. Cruising at about 60 i encountered a sexy looking blue TLS with what looked like after market exhaust(sounded like it too). I was in the left lane and so was he, going kinda slow though. I got a litte closer and he moved over so i put the gas back down and got back to ~60. It was at that point i hear a down shift and he nails it. So, i decided to see what the Caddy had and well, it was a 60ish to ~85/90. I hope he liked the way that phat Caddy ass looked. I was impressed with the SRX, and a little dissapointed in the TLS, hopefully he just sucked at driving it.

Seriously, there are plenty of stories on here how the TL, TL-S pulled on other modded cars (G35, MS3, 335i even, etc.) and yet this fat Caddy with aerodynamic of a brick pulled on a TL-S with visual mod.

It could happen from a roll with a 2012 SRX even though the Caddy is heavier it has an advantage in available torque 265@2400 to 254@5000 & horsepower 308@6800 to 286@6200. Also being a trash hauler it most likely has better gearing for a quick lunge & they never really got up to speed.
From a standing start the TLS would have a big advantage because of inertia with the Caddy having to launch a lot more weight.
An older SRX the TL should win both roll & dig.

I have a 2006 SRX with the N* V8 and I know it wouldn't take a TLs. It has power for its size but it wont pull on my 05 TL. roll, dig, etc.
I dont know about the newer gen SRX's as much (guessing it was '10/'12 model since op didnt list year of caddy) but i dont see where they would be quicker than the TL.
They do have awesome takoff like bear said above. The SRX is still a nice ride and "it rides like a cadillac" LoL.
