RL vs TL

My friend shot a small small clip of me running against a TL from a dig

TL mods:
Fujita Intake
Apexi Exhaust
He also has a system.

My mods are in my signature

without further words...here is the video...
do yourself a favor a skip all the way to the end... 2:55.
promise I will get better footage...lol

lets just say..Auto TL...

I hate to be a magazine racer, but numbers I see are hard to miss.

From what I've heard from RL owners, it pulls hard on highway speeds .. but I don't see that happening with low / mid 90s trap speeds.

Other than that, to each his own. (I) think the RL is one of the best looking cars in Acura's lineup coupled with A-spec kit / drop / rims.

I give major props to somebody who upgrades an RL, they're just damn sexy.

Getting a great launch definitely has a huge influence on your 60' / ending 1/4 time.

I'm mainly hinting at the fact that he trapped 98mph ...

The 6MT moves

The TL/Accord 6MT are almost very very similar in terms of performance, almost to the T. I'm not sure what my next mod is gonna be, probably either RV6/ATLP "V2" Jpipe. I really want an exhaust......and a drop

Blazing I can't get over how nice the RL sounds. What intake do you have?

PC deletes!!

The RL is just so damn heavy, that's why. You are probably putting down the same power as a bolt on 6MT TL, but weigh like 500 lbs more. RL is sexy

The 3.5 RL can handle a 3.2 TL auto, it can hang around with a MT, but the 6 spd will pass evenually. Either TLS, is also out of the question having the same engine, and less weight. SH can get the jump against any average launch. 0-60 runs and quick light to light, AWD is hard to beat, just don't run for too long or on the highway.

I imagine you're referring to the TL and not 3.2TL. That said (and with all due respect for the RL's SH-AWD capabilities), a well driven TL 6MT should make short work of the RL.
