Don't actually know yet, but it feels very fast compared to my old 2001 TL with "only" 225 hp! I only have about 900 miles on it so I can't really fly yet, but I'm getting there.

To PeterUbers: Where did you get the 6.3 sec 0-60 time from? I just turned in an Audi A6 2.7T and bought an 04 TL automatic. The Audi was tested at 6.7 sec for 0-60 by C&D (I think), and the TL seems distinctly faster.

I read in Motor Trend's newest comparo (Motor Trend's 2004 car of the year) that the 2004 TL did 0-60 mph in 6.1 but I believe this is reporting 6MT as the 5AT has been predominantly listed as 0-60 mph in 6.3 seconds.

I don't want to buck the trend but I went from a 03 TL-P to a 04 TL and the TL-P seemed pretty sprited runing around town, the new TL feels about the same to me, however when you step on the 04 TL and it kicks down from 5th to 3rd I do notice an improvement in power, but not as much as I thought.

I know we're talking apples and oranges, but I wish the TL was faster than the Evo and WRX STi. I want that 300+ hp TL.

Its fast enough.
Its fast enough.
I want the TL for the Luxury and then the Sport. I think it combines the best of both worlds quite nicely.

It is faster, just not from 0-60. On the highway they will see your taillights every time!

Like others, I have been able to see the 140mph... maybe a tick over... Does anyone know how fast before the speed governor kicks in. At 140, the TL seemed like it had plenty more.
