(2G)Acura TL-S vs Lexus SC430!!!
2nd Gen Acura TL-S vs Lexus SC430!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Who do you think will win between TL-S & SC430?
0-60? 1/4 Miles? 0-120?
I was just curious.
I think I may have to race my brother who has 2002 TL-S (was my car) soon.

those stats are crap to be honest. the SC430 has 290-300HP and 325lb/ft torque and weighs about the same as a tl-s so there is no way a tl-s can keep up, those numbers aren't correct in real world driving. go and find out and race a SC430, i hope the tl-s wins, but i doubt it.

Edmunds.com got 6.7 seconds to 60 for the SC430 - shocking to them since it's 4.3L V8 has 300hp and 325tq. They were stumped, but it could have been conditions. But the SC430 is no light-weight, it weighs 3840lbs. They did clock the LS430 (with the same engine + more weight) at 5.9 seconds to 60, though... so I think the TL-S will lose.

in real world driving of course a tl-s could win with a good launch and bad driver in the SC430, but two equal drivers of same weight and same launch and I believe the SC430 would win, I agree 3840 is heavy(didn't think it was that heavy?) but the power difference out weighs the extra weight. 04 TL speed would have a better chance, actually with all these different sources putting out high 0-60 numbers for the SC430, I bet a 04 TL 6 speed could beat one. I have read same about LS430 and GS430 5.9 0-60 and one 5.7 0-60 for GS400, strange Lexus made the SC430 so heavy they could easily take out 500-600lbs off that and it would be fast as hell, what a waste Lexus!

.2 seconds in the 1/4 mile is ~2 car lengths which is a pretty significant win. stock vs. stock the tls will lose.
race already so we can be proven correct.

I was going to race my brother last week but he had a flat tire & 3 of his 4 wheels are bent beyond repair so I have to wait until he gets new wheels.
I will post the results but it may be a whilebefore we race since he currently has 16" 2000 TL stock wheels.

At a 'Taste of Lexus' event I drove the SC430 and it did have MUCH more pull that I thought it would despite its curb weight.
