07 TL-S A/T 1/4 Mile times????????
Ok so i was just wondering what these times are does anyone know? maybe even a 0-60 time? just wondering because everyone says that the 07 TL-S A/T is as fast as a 04-06 TL M/T but at the sametime i always hear that the 02-03TL-S is as fast as a regular 3rd gen TL. but the 2nd Gen TL-S are all A/T so i dont understand and lost in the whole subject. can some one share some light on this? i would also like to know if the 3rd gen TL-S A/T is that much slower than a 3rd Gen TL-S M/T i know the loss of power is there but is it really that much that it loses so much power that a 286HP car A/T becomes as fast as a 255 TL M/T?? that just doesnt sound right, i gues si know that just because things dont sound right makes em that way but i would really like to know from people who know more about cars than me on this subject.
is a 07 TL-S A/T that slow????!!??

hey man, no worries, let me try to answer some of your questions!
"07 TL-S A/T is as fast as a 04-06 TL M/T"
"02-03TL-S is as fast as a regular 3rd gen TL"
both statements are pretty much true, assuming that for the 2nd statement, you are comparing between a 02-03 TL-S to a regular 3rd gen TL AT.
I know it's hard to believe that 3rd gen TL-S 5AT is as fast as 3rd gen TL 6MT because of the differences between displacement, torque and hp. But the lack of a torque converter and an extra gear ratio together help a lot. And also, the AT system is bigger and heavier than the MT system, and we all know extra weight = slower. Another factor that might affect 1/4mile and 0-60mph time is the launch. TL-S AT probably has worst tires than a stock TL 6MT, so traction might be less.
Hope I answered your questions.
