Lost against another TL

I got an 08 base A/T W/Nav, while the other 1 was a 05 base A/T W/Nav, were right on each others bumpers, but i was like 6in behind his front bumper, and i just figured out, y cuz the 07/08 TL weigh like 70lbs more, then the older TL's, dam.

People....you can race two of the same exact cars, stock for stock, and one will always inch the other out. You won't get both cars running the exact same time, down to the millisecond.

Common sense ftw.

No, they both make 258 horsepower at the crank. The 270 rating on the '04-'05 models was an inflated pre SAE figure.

lol.. well I guess you could break'em in slow or put'em through the fire. I'm guessing your girlfriend got tired of you messing with her TL that she told you to get your own.
