TL-S vs. TL6
Me: '03 TL-S
vs.
My brother: '05 TL 6-speed
I left home earlier today heading back to school, and my brother was going to Blockbuster to drop off some DVD's. We figured we might as well have a go at it; my brother has had his car for a couple of months now and we had never gotten a chance to race until today.
So from a stop light, we took it up to about 60. We were DEAD EVEN.
Second run from a roll, from about 40 mph. Dead even again.
I hate my automatic transmission, and this ridiculously hot and humid weather. I was keeping up with low to mid 13-second cars back in January when it was cold out, and now I can't even beat a TL, albeit 6-speed, with just a Comptech RSB and AEM CAI.
Damn Acura for never offering the 6-speed on the 2G TL.

You will save about 30-40lbs which would definitely help you.

Dude its a 4 door TL with an auto, leave the tunes in it and buy a purpose built fast car.

I've always said that I want to build a car that I can beat the shit out of at the track and have fun while doing it, but be able to go home in the same car without changing anything with A/C blasting cold air, and the luxury features comforting me.
After the HPDE, I can say that I have built my car the way I wanted it. It could be better, but I'm very happy with it. So umm.. don't tell me what to do with my car.
