Yea those V8 A6s arent too fast ive pulled on them
I know what you're saying. Since 95% of the base 04-06' TL's are automatic and stock, they're pretty slow, and it's fun catching people off guard.
Recently had some douche in a 4.2 V8 A6 riding my ass, then we jumped onto the four laner and I got over and let him pass. He nailed it like I knew he would, I spotted him a car length and then hit it around 60 in third and made him sad. Then we went again from ~ 65-110 and I made him sad again.

It's approved by me cause I'm good. I know about carz....
I had never owned one of those.. but I did test drive a TL TYPE-S 6MT which was slower than the MS3 I test drove.
This thread is good. The OP is very good.
He did all this work to prove you guys that the manual transmission is far superior on the TL when I told you so a long long time ago and you guys didn't listen.
Look, when I say something I mean business. I know what I'm sayin'..... I'm pro.

Rule #0: Never ever drive a vehicle with 4 speed transmission.
Rule #1: Never ever drive a vehicle with 5 speed transmission.
Rule #2: Never ever drive a vehicle with Automatic Transmission.
Rule #3: Ummm..... I forgot.
Oh yeah I remember now. TL 5AT 4th gear is not only bad, the 5th gear (top gear) is equally as bad if not worse. So you should say "dreaded 4th AND 5th gear". The TL 6MT 6th gear I believe is tighter than the 4th gear. That just shows how tall the 4th gear is on the automatic version.
The bone stock TL (non-type-s) 6MT should pull on the fully modded TL Types-S 5AT as shown in OP's ride, say from 80mph pull to 130 mph. You don't need a modded TL nor do you need Type-S trim, just a simple manual stock trim will beat it even harder from 100- 150 mph pull.
The standard 6MT should be just a tad slower than the TL-S 6MT at all speeds to top speed.

I just checked the last video on pg1 and boy that's a huge pull. That looked more like two full bus lengths. I mean two coach lengths. Now go try 100- 150 mph pull...
Imagine if that TL-S 5AT was bone stock like the 6MT. We are talking a full football field and half difference.
TL 6MT and TL-S 6MT is nice and all but don't they have 3rd gear synchro problem and clutch release issue? I heard that the build and engineering quality is worse than the Yugo... If it wasn't for these issues the car would have been awesome. I'm glad I didn't buy one of those. With 2nd gen MS3, none of those problems exist. The gearbox is some of the worlds finest builds ever. It's a bit less than Honda NSX but pretty close.

now with that being said go prove me wrong and go race a TL-S 6mt on the highway and then post the video and I will believe otherwise!
second a TL-S just looks too fucking sexy next to a MS3...sorry no offense but the interior is so fugly and ford like!!!..... TL-S interior is just one of the best in it's class....but again thats my
..take it for what it's worth........ you can stay with your zoom zoom and I will be chilling in my TL-S......I'm not one to go back and forth so don't bother on responding to get another reaction or debate out of me.........
and btw if I wanted a quick car from factory I would go and get one.....I got the TL-S because it was a well rounded package with looks and performance...that even Acura themselves could not do better as the new 4g's TL are no where as good looking as the 3g's.....again my opinion and take it for what it's worth........
and if you happen to live near New England come and find me and I will run you myself with video footage and if you beat me in you zoom zoom MS3 I will be first to say WOW that thing is so zoom zoom fast!!!

All seriousness, let me or Boston know if you decide to come up. We have some meets in April anyways so you might as well make the trip worth while. I'd love to see/hear that SC!

Only on one condition. If you can get Sonnick, anx1300c, and that mazda3god character to come with you, then I'll join in the festivities.

hey I'm still looking to head down to that track Sonnick was talking about !! Lebanon Valley or something like that!For sure! I would love to meet some of the guys that keep this forum exciting. My car looks like a p.o.s. as it was just a work dd till I got a company vehicle. As far as the SC it's nothing special, I just got dumb and thought I had to modify a car so the old TL is it lol. But yeah, definitley will get up that way sooner or later, hopefully for a meet. Till then, keep the vids coming

I'm still down for Lebanon Valley. My new wheels should be here sometime in April. ~40 lbs weight saved on wheels/tires should be like picking up ~12 whp, so I really want to try a decent track.
r3devi7 has the scoop on that track. And MS3 Speed Stud....this is an open invitation...

just let me know when you do!! but man your boosted IDK if I can hang on the highway like that!!!.......
I'm tellin ya the SC is not what you'd think. That's why more people are going to the Turbo's. I don't know how much more there is to get out of my set up; but right now especially with my tired ass Autocrapmatic, I'm sure you'd keep up or pass me after 2'nd gear.
so is the SC running right or no? and if so what do you have running it for an ECU? FIC or what? you should def look into getting the JnR ECU...you can have that running real strong with a proper tune!!

Either way, looking forward to some get togethers whether it's at a meet or the wife and I take a road trip up that way.

I'm down as well. I linked the 2012 Schedule below. I wish they opened sooner! It may be hot by mid April. I'm definitely trying to get down to at least 1 track sooner than that, but still need to get my trans mount installed. I'm also planning on doing the TB/Valve adjustments as well. Hopefully a couple other goodies too

If I can't get into the 13's now on a 60 degree day on a decent track with the ported runners, TB, intake and lighter wheels/tires, I plan on crashing my car into a BMW showroom on the way home and driving out in a 335. Or maybe a Ford dealership for a 5.0?

Ehh, don't sweat the heat. When I went last year it was like low 80's on a shitty track. I was pissed with 14.4 @ 98.3 mph, but it corrected to 14.1 @ 100.1 on a couple online calcs, so I didn't feel so bad.

As much as I'd like to see you get a 335i, that won't be happening just yet
