I've been doing research here and there and can't find any vids of any of the TL's on the track? Thoughts?

What track? Time for what? Guessing you haven't been on YouTube? You talking Auto-X, dirt track, 1/4 mile, 1/8 mile, road course, the Nuemberg????

We're talking about a four door family sedan which started life as a Honda Accord; I'm trying to figure out who would care.

18 year olds would care.

If the year is 2004 then I would be concern about performance time, but its 2020 now even a Hyundai can poop on the our car. 3G TL isn't fast anymore (yes even the Type S MT) it still slow compare to modern industry V6 car. a 2020 civic SI with a tune can really give a Type S run for it money lol.

Track Time? My 07' Type S has been beaten by a KIA Turbo taking off from a traffic light. These things are slow boats, I'd forget about Track Times.

☝️☝️ something is wrong here...lol

42

And the question is?

Who knows

but the answer is always 42

Perfect.

If you're talking acceleration times, go find some old magazine articles from the mid-2000s. Even then those figures are pretty meaningless - I've drag raced my TL exactly zero times and I've dropped the clutch to launch it exactly zero times, so who cares about numbers on paper?

Ohh sorry kind of new to this and yea I meant the 1/4 mile.

That's something I would love to do in my TL.

sorry but TL isn't built for 1/4 miles, low 14s might be fast back in the early 2000 but now every one else (stock) dip into 12-13 secs range.

This. Even my new Fusion is way faster than my TL.

LMAO heavily doubt that your fusion is quicker lol

I literally have both right now and the Fusion is much faster at any speed. It's not even close really...

I think you've been drinking too much 3G TL Kool-Aid. Like it or don't, believe it or not, the 3G TL is a very good car, however, it is in many aspects, inferior to more contemporary and more pedestrian cars.

Funny come to thinking about it. LeVel, Horses and I all own a MT TL lol.

46 & 2?

As engine technology continuously improves, auto manufacturers are capable of squeezing more and more power out of smaller engines, while also making them more efficient.

Our cars are over a decade old. Some of us closer to two decades. A modern fusion with an ecoboost engine over 2 litres would spank my TL.

Its only the auto guys who think their TL is fast Dude above is even discounting a 65hp and 150 ft*lb difference like it's nothing

This. My Fusion is down half a liter compared to my TL but turbos are a wonderful thing so it's faster.

I guess we all can agree. 3g TL in stock form are slow comparing to current contemporary I4 Turbo or V6 that offer in the market. The only thing I found my TL to be faster is the civic SI from the same era lmao...

What @Nick Preston doesn't seem to get is, there is ALWAYS a faster car. Long story short, if a car is fast enough, then it is fast enough, and nobody gives a rat's hind parts how fast it could be in relative terms.

My 07 TL type s 6mt went a best of 13.9 @ 100. Not bad for a heavy sedan but I was just curious and will never go back to the track with that car. But it is still very fun and great to look at

speaking of track car.... when are you gonna debuted that boosted Fox body?

There's a little progress happening if you check out my thread. We will see I am hoping this summer Hahaha
