TL-S vs. IS350 vs. G35S at Willow Springs Racetrack...might wanna check this out!!

i'm sure this is unusual to beleive even here amongst all the TL fans...this just shows how engeneering goes above power....and RWD.
it's simply amazing that it's a full 2 seconds faster than those other 2 RWD more powerful cars, and proves further that the TL is completely fine with FWD...heck, i'm loving it.
here's small translation from the article i found somewhere from Tsuchiya himself:
"The final corner at Willow Springs is a high speed corner where you go in at 4th gear with no braking. The speed range for the final corner at Tsukuba Circuit is no where close to the one at Willow Springs. Even professional American drivers couse-out or crashes when exiting the corner at times. Even at corners like this, I was able to step on the gas with the TL. Seems like the TL never goes under. The nose of the car smoothly shifts towards the inside, it is amazing... As I drive the TL more and more I ask myself "wait was this car a FR?" The performance is unbelievable for a FF."
