So your CL should be running high 13s maybe low 14s, whereas a TL only runs 15.2 at best with an A/T. Yeah it's sad to say how slow the '06 TL A/T are, you would think they would be faster.

It was said somewhere that the TL takes about .4 seconds each shift, that's a lot of time.

Do you actually believe that it takes .4 seconds to shift? If you do I have a box of rocks to sell you.

With those mods, there is no way his car is in the high 13s........ no possible way. He'd be lucky to hit 14.4 secs.

In any case, good kill.

yes like I said, low 14s is reasonable. There is no way your car can run 13s... hell mine does mid 13s and I have a blower on it.

If you refer back to older issues of C&D or MT, you can find that 2002-2003 TL-S (auto only) can do 1/4mile in 14.8 sec. 15.2 is for TL-P.

I thought he had a manual CL-S with a 6Spd, that's why I came up with the High 13s to low 14s estimate.

As far as shifting goes, a manual TL with a more than capable driver could out shift an AT TL, at least that's what I've read.

A DSG takes .1 seconds to shift a manual .3 and an automatic .4seconds do you know how slight a difference this is.

To give you a better understanding, whenever you go to a dragstrip try recording your reaction time, you'll notice that the best possible reaction time anyone can get is .5seconds you never realize it, but that's what it is. Try timing it yourself you will realize there is a slight hesitation when the TL shifts, that's been rated at .4seconds.

reaction time is based differently at different tracks...it depends what basis the track sets it at...some .3..some .5 it has nothing to do with the tranny...

No, of course it doesn't but I threw it out there so some people can guage how fast .4 seconds is.

There is no way the TL shifts any faster than .3 seconds. Honestly how fast do you think the TL shifts for those of you who don't believe me.

I have the TL-s and do wish there was a tranny mod to make the shift less laggy. A bit too luxury for me, but that is what I got...
