The car itself we all know is capable, but that doesn't mean the driver has the skills to make the perfect launch and shifts.
Also the example I gave about the nitrous is just an example showing what the TL is capable of doing. All supercharged TL are running in the 13s provided that the driver can control the traction problem.

Here's my post:
An 8.5 second 1/8 mile is a low 13 second run. We all know this isn't happening in any sort of TL, NA or forced induced.

This thread is the exact reason I laugh at this section. Opinion is worth nothing when fact exists.
You dont make enough power to run in the 8's in the 1/8th. I dont care that you feel you have to feather your throttle in second gear. I dont have to feather the throttle in second gear in my vette and I make a shitstorm more power than you do. Learn to drive maybe?
Since you think you can 'easily' run in the 8's how about you go do it already? Dont worry I wont laugh at you for more than one reply when you fail to do so.
Clean CL - Your comment was clinically retarded. Unless you are implying that an extremely advanced mathematical equation is used, your little plug and play calculator will not be accurate. There is a hell of lot more involved in a 1/8-->1/4 conversion than the 1/8th ET. Now perhaps this is what you meant, but my guess is that you didnt.
Now WTF does an N/A modified TL running 13.7 have to do with this? Try elaborating with that mouth of yours.

there is a general rule of establishing the 1/4 mile time by an 1/8th, if you disagree with that then i guess you don't really know what you are talking about
and numerous people said the TL-S would not run a 13, that said high 13 at best, so if the 3.2 can make it to a 13.7, the stock type s should be more than capable of running into the mid 13s.
try providing useful information, bc at the moment you arent doing anything but just disagreeing with everything. maybe i could understand you a little better if you backed up your own arguments with proven information instead of just childish name calling.

I can drive just fine. I wont lower myself to the immature level of internet insulting. Hopefully you at least derived pleasure from such an immature and pointless gesture. I am very happy that you have a fast vette. Who cares man. If I had some slicks I would most certainly go give it a shot although with everything else I am doing now I am not really worried about it. The comment about the NA 13.7 TL was to show that other guy who said that a TL was not capable of doing that proof that they actually are.

What, you dont like the fact that I dont go along with your fantasy bullshit? Anyone that thinks a stock Type-S can pull mid 8's in the 1/8th is delusional.
Honestly, it's stupidity like this thread that makes this site a fucking joke in the eyes of most automobile enthusiasts on the web. (Waiting for a moderator to change this)
You wonder where the 'stupid fanboi' comments come from? It's delusion like this.

As for the 13.7, who cares what a modified TL runs? How does that apply to you? By the way, a 13.7 1/4 does not come by way of mid 8 second 1/8ths. Go find his 1/8th time and get an idea of why 8's wont happen for you, stock.

Unless you go FI/Spray, you're not seeing mid 8's. I'd love to be proven wrong because that is a huge positive for the aftermarket community of the TL. I would love nothing more than to be able to put a few k into my TL and run mid 8's in the 1/8th which should translate into mid-low 13's in the TL. It just wont happen.
I suggest reality, it's a good place for you.

Oh well. I wish him well in his attempts, and for the sake of this community I certainly wish it were possible for him to achieve what he wants.
The fact still remains, he's talking about a short track time on par with c5's.

with your assertions, and also find it highly unlikely that the new TL-S can pull 1/8 mile times in the 8s (w/o FI). But, just go easy on the name calling.

Nice vids. That TL-S sounds pretty mean. 
I guess the ANC technology does a good job, because I didn't hear any of that when I test drove one (I had the windows up).

Although I do have an AEM CAI, and removed my mid muffler and have a dynomax resonater so it is louder intake and exhaust. Even so with my windows up I barely hear it all, then I roll my windows down and it always surprises me. The ANC really does a great job. There is a ton of sound deadning in these cars too.
