I dunno about this... is the driver not any good or does the TL-S get whooped by a Civic Si????

Sorry, I don't know how to creat hyperlinks with this interface.

Nice finds

hmmmm i dont kno alot of these it seems as though the driver just didnt kno what he was doing..and yeah the SI definately cannot beat a Type S

Horsepower to weight ratio are a factor. The TL-S also had another body riding shotgun holding the camera. Assume an extra 150 pounds for that. All the toys on the TL make it slower like power seats, navi, 8 speakers, sound dampening, sun roof, etc.

FWD is a bitch

I was running consistant 9.29's in the 1/8th but couldnt get traction to save my life. Since I have been in Germany I have been laying the smack down on the autobahn. Only one car has beaten me so far, a new M5. I messed with a 650i, newer one yesterday and he couldnt pull on me at all, but he kept going when I hit the 150mph speed limiter.

Not only did he have an extra person in the car, he was no light weight himself! And yes, the TL is a fat heffer when it comes to dragstrip. The fwd can be over come with a stiff suspension set up and some sticky tires. As for now the 6MT is limited to the stock clutch for most, which is not the greatest grabing clutch in the world. "Luxury" shift feel!! It really sucks. I want a stage 3 clutch with a lightweight flywheel!!!! grab baby, grab.

can't look at them at work....

The Type S is not that quick at the drag strip. It has alot of weight plus the additional person filming in the car. The Civic Si is a much lighter car and at 197hp vs 258hp isn't all that bad being that much lighter.
But in most clips, it does seem like the race against all those cars are fairly close. You can tell from the burnt out in the beginning that the driver is terrible at drag racing....

Good find though!

My favorite part- One, twooo, threeeeee, GO!

sunny201

Doesnt the Type-S have 286hp?

Black_05_TL_6SP

yes, but the car weighs in at 3500lbs. As where the Si is in the 2500 to 2700 range, depending on how striped it is. Not to mention a ~250lb driver and a passenger at who knows how much. Weight is the enemy

sunny201

I was just double checking the hp because BoostedJack said it was 258hp

I wonder how an auto TL-S would fair against that guy. Doesn't seem like he really knows when to shift... you can hear the car hit the rev limiter in a few clips.

sunny201

Poor car and ppl that dont know how to drive them

blazinginder

^ yeah, I think that's what he mean't to say haha

BustedJack

My apologies, I was thinking in terms of the regular TL's HP at 258hp. The Type S indeed has 286HP.

BustedJack

this clip truly shows the driver cannot shift...

lmfao... why do you need to throw the stick and bounce yourself back?

Poor Type S, a spanking new 2007 and already been abused like that at the track....

jay0k

That is a lightweight car that is supercharged probably putting down 250HP. Not really a surprise there. Of course a better driver with the 6MT would of done quite a bit better.

Pika817

Think I can beat him in my 5AT??

fast n the furious shifting ^

jay0k

Replace the power seats with lightweight racing seats. Remove the backseat. Strip the trunk and remove spare tire. Remove all the stuff you don't need to race like navigation. Put on a nice sticky set of tires. Add a cold air intake. If you want to smoke them then you can always supercharge it.

LOL, I love it when he throws his body into the shifts.

The TL cars shine at higher speeds. Try from 100 to 150mph. The TL will crush those cars with ease.

He was beating the Si in this clip.

Maybe i'm getting too old for this.

I hated every one of those other cars, how they sounded and how much of a tool every person was in that video.

THIS IS A FACT!!! My nephew has a new 07 Si. After our cars were broken in we raced twice. I have an 07 TL-S Automatic. First race I left the trac control on. I beat him about 4 car lengths from 0-80. With my trac control off I kicked his ASS! I found out I needed the RPM's like a manual, so smokin my tires and having the rev's go up quicker I kicked his ASS!!!

What are you talking about The Type-S has 286+ HP. And my 07 TL-S Auto kicked my nephews ASS with my Trac control OFF Track or no track, your both on the same surface. Sure one lane might be better then the other, but outside temp, altitude, humidity are the same no matter where you are. Get your tires warmed up, lower air pressure, turn trac control OFF and use both feet with the automatic, DON'T shift the Auto, let the trans do the work

azeemdadream

How do you use both feet with the automatic? What did you mean earlier when you said you needed the RPMs like a manual? Also, you stated you raced after your cars were broken in, you mind if I ask what your brake in period was or how long?

JD TL-S

iTrader: (1)

I mean kind of a power brake with the auto. Thats how its done with Auto's

About 1,000 miles on the break-in. YES the 07 TL-S will beat an 07 Si at any time.

The trac control kind of boggs the car on take off. Without it the car rev's A.S.A.P. getting the rpm's up for torque and HP

Perhaps you should learn how to read further down the post before quoting someone or better yet, read the entire thread first before posting.
