Difference b/w Auto and 6 speed TL-S
Besides the obvious transmission difference is there any differnce in brakes, sway bars, suspension components. I test drove an '07 Auto TL-S today and thought it was pretty responsive. Is 0-60 times different. Thanks

Well that's close to 150 mph. If he can take it that much, then he should keep going until he hits the limiter. When he does, let me know what it is.

I know these differences exist on the '04 - '06 6 speed vs. Auto but do they exist on the '07 - '08 TL-s or is the only difference Auto vs. 6 speed? Thanks

The MT TL-S has a Limited Slip Differential and weighs less. Apparently, it doesn't have a governor at 134 mph either.

I will say, as much I don't like the 5AT TL, I drove one for a week (08 base loaner), and I do have to say, it was nice just driving and having my hands on the wheel all the time. and not shifting my feet around all the time.
I found it to be more of a "fun / lazy" driving experience, than the "sporty / fast" driving experience I get with my 6MT.
I love my 6MT, but considering the IS350 as my next car, and I may go automatic with it.
you know, the older you get, the more "fun / lazy" you get

No Type S in '04-'06 but the MT does have the LSD. Auto's did not have it. The 6MT also got the brembo brakes and thicker rear sway bar that the auto's did not. Guess what most are saying from a handling perspective my '06 6MT will HANDLE exactly like an '07 Type S. A a pure fun to drive my '06 MT is better than the '07 type s in auto form (this is only if you value shifting and truly get more enjoyment out of shifting than a slushbox). As it relates to speed my '06 6MT will be about equal(maybe sligthly slower) to the auto Type S but the 6MT in the Type S would be the best. In my experience you have to be a good stick driver to beat an auto off the line anyways. And ti do this you have to tach up to abour 2500 rpm and really unleash the 6MT. Rather just punch the auto in those situations. Just my opinion on this though.

It says in the owner's manual of my 04 that the top speed is 150, it doesn't mention a speed limiter, it just says to put extra air in the tires if you plan to go that fast.

The 134-135mph governor applies to 07-08 TL-S AT models.
