In conjunction with that, I've pretty much asserted that with similar tranny's the E36 M3 should beat the 3G TL.

Again, I'm not comparing track stats to that of real world head-to-head street or track racing, and all the variables that come with it. My personal times are easily within 1/2 second of these M3s . . . and if the driver or the car I'm facing isn't ready for the action . . . as a result I'm betting they will lose more often than I lose. So far I'm 3 for 3 . . . not saying I can't be beat . . . I just haven't so far.

First let me say that a 19 y.o. has no business owning any car over $20k. Its called: s.p.o.i.l.e.d. Try working for a living, supporting kids, holding down a mortgage, then making your car payments and call us back. TLs are cars kids should aspire to, not ones they can actually afford.
Furthermore, coming onto an Acura TL forum and telling us that TL's don't perform is inviting yourself for abuse. So suck it up or go home to mommy.

Eh, have u every thought about the possiblilty that the TL is not my car but my fathers? I think ur the one who needs love The M3 was purchased with my money though. It was under 20k andi just cant stand ppyl saying that their car is fast when it's not. Besides, spoiled or not, i got into UPENN and got a full ride, but got into yale but with no scholarship. I enrolled at
PENN. Now talk about spoiled. I just saved them amost 200 grands. I thikn I deserve a car, dont u think?

so let to just apologize on my part (insulting the furious TL owners) but for anyone who wants to race stock 97 M3s, give me a pm I will find the cars u can race. Until i get to race one, i dont thinik i will be convinced that the aspec is faster tha nthe M3. Dont be hating man. Some kids own M3s and new S4s. Its all about where u live. BTW we have the car leased, so now you look stupid for saying what u said about me before. Lease dosnt cost too much money. I got 18.5 K for my M3 and still have some money left after giveing dad part of the lease cost

Also, I have yet to lose to a 3 series. At last count I own over 12 kills, 3 of those kills are against M3 E36s.
Oh, I forgot this was an Acura vs Lexus kill thread . . . those faster GS400s and SC430s taste good too! for the

WHo cares, lexus are too expensive anyways. the question you should ask is for that money, do i realy want to get an old man's car? ALthough the new GS looks fine. Firest year of all wheel drive, i wouldnt get it though

Well, you don't want to do the whole engine swap. Search the threads for typeR, he has a 3.5 upgrade that I'd love to have. Then I'd be picking on the E46 M3s . . couldn't resist that . . . . peace
The last I heard he is running low 13s . . . without NOS, SC or turbo . . .

wow that great but i dont really want my TL to be a super fast car. I just dont htink the car is meant to be like that. BUt then again who dosnt like a little speed? I would do the following mods though: SSK, Intake, may be sway bar, and i wanna save up enough moneyu in the summer and tint the car and get an enhaust system. But then again there isnt a long list of things to mod on the TL...

I looked at the M3s back in 1998 and test drove one . . . , but it didn't work out for what I needed at the time. I also was real close to getting 2002 3 series, and was holding out for the 330i, but $12k more for the options I wanted vs the TLS and well here I am . . . So I don't hate them . . . I really them, but not for that much more money.

Then there are guys with SCs and turbos . . . and NOS rockets like mattg . . . I think the faster one here is Allmotor with his custom turbo . . . I think he's running 12s with street tires . . and possibly in to the 11s with some slicks . . . so there are some really fast CL/TLs out there.

yeah sure but are they 3rd gens? Active Auto made a 700 some hp M coupe. I mean that thing is smoking fast...but then again all jap cars can be modded to be extremely fast. Is that why jap cars are ricey? However the 3rd gen TL is perfect. Good luxury but good speed too.

Also, there's always a faster car . . . and a 700 HP M3 is just chop liver to something more serious than that . . . there are 4-banger Hondas that will eat that 700hp M3s lunch . . . VW bugs as well . . . I know I got killed by a Bug in my 64SS.

of course money not being an issue I'd drive something else . . . say a nice ZL1 Camaro for starters or a TT427 Vette . . . all sorts of goodies out there . . but some of us don't have it or have other things that rank higher on the want factor . . . I've had my 2 cars and a boat when I was 20 . . . now I got a family . . wife stays home . . . kids play club sports . . . etc etc . . . so I drive a TLS vs a BMW . . . or a nice Muscle car

Imagine what your real life salary would be out of college and how much you will have left over after expenses to pay off 200 grand. Not sending you to Yale is a solid business decision.... Unless you go work for daddy after you graduate.
Plus I'm thinking that someone with a full ride to PENN should be able to avoid obvious flaws in grammar such as, 'I thikn'

Alright, first here's the deal. The car was bought under my dad's name but I was the one who gave him the money. I had 20 some thousand dollars on my band account and I transfered the balance to my dad's account. If you know my dad, he dosn't pay me for shit. He dosn't even change the grip on my golf clubs for me If you really don't know what's going on then don't say anything.

reasons why : 1997 BMW M3 is fast with 240hp, lighter and a very nice car. BUT, they're older, abused and been 8 years. I can take that no problem, now a 2005 M3, no way.
Going to UPENN getting a full ride doesn't justify you deserve a car, as a matter of fact. It doesn't really matter to any of us. You're 19, so you're telling us you graduated from UPENN at age 19? I went to Rutgers Camden just across the river from UPENN and I'm sure you're not any more intelligent than I am. I know one thing that's been on fellow TL owners mind and I'll say it here for all of us.
GET A TL or don't come on and try to put down our cars. You might have a TL, but that's your "daddy's car", get a car (TL or M3) then we can talk about racing. Otherwise, you're just a bystander.
You know, haha... you're like a basketball fan and we're basketball players. You trying to trash talk us but you're not even on the court.
