Mazdaspeed 3 Vs. '04~'08 Acura RL
Well, this wasn't really that good of a race but I'm just posting what happened anyway... I caught a late model Acura RL at the light. I stopped next to him and turned off my VSC. I gave it a little bit of revving 2.5k rpm before launch. He realized I was on it and as soon as the light turned green we took off. Luckily I had a strong launch (7 out of 10 times I screw up). Beat him by an half car length to 32 mph and I was several cars ahead by 70+ mph on 3rd. He was pretty close to me from the launch but as I pulled him hard at higher speeds he realized my car is faster so he gave up on the run. Maybe he doesn't know how to launch his car, it's an AWD isn't it? should be easy to launch. I wasn't really expecting to beat any cars other than some vehicles like Honda CR-V or some 4 cyl Camry from dig though.

Are you modded at all?
You are right they are AWD. Maybe he had a bad launch, who knows. Nice kill tho. In reality, they are low 15 second cars @ 92-94, so sounds about right that you pulled him hard after 30. Have you been to the track yet?

I have heard stories of the RL being a monster at highway speeds, but then I look at the 92-94mph trap speeds and I have a hard time believing it.

i'd buy the RL strictly for what its made for. style and comfort..
the AWD was meant for a better handling vehicle.. not a better launch in the 1/4....
nobody should buy one with racing in mind IMO.

From dig? of course the Infiniti will win. He should pull more than that. Oh well if that makes you feel good, be my guest.
