TL running against the exotics

Was going to rent an NSX for the weekend but the plans didn't pan out (was considering buying one). Anyway, a friend organized an exotic car run here in Toronto and unfortunately I had no other alternative then to take the TL, I must say, held up pretty nicely on the straights and even the turns (to some extent anyway). The TL is an Auto with A-Spec suspension. Fun and 'spirited' drive on some remote streets with a lot of turns and straights that are pretty far removed from traffic so was fairly safe.

I got great footage chasing some of the cars, will upload the video tomorrow, just got pics of the rest stops so far.

To make this content relevant to the TL forum:

Totally out of place and awkward. I was the only non exotic and since a lot of the guys are friends asked to come along. I could have ridden in one of the cars, but wanted to taste the curvy roads and see what the car can do with some of the best. I hung towards the back, and for the large part, parked away from the gang to avoid polluting the photo ops the of gang together LOL. Hopefully I'll get a used NSX soon.

Got more pics, I'll upload em along with the video tomorrow!

Here it is Ed, sorry the quality is a bit poor, and the aspect ratio is still not quite right, i'll fix it tomorrow! Its a bit long so you should be able to 'skim' it.

Cool, the clip is on google video now, so a bit better resolution. Most of it is boring, since its kind of long, but scroll through it! There are some good parts! Too bad you can't see the TL much since the video was mostly shot from inside my car but its there in the end LOL.

Thumbs down

There was indeed one kit car which was nicely done, but still a waste IMO. It was the red Lambo Diablo in the pics. Everything else was genuine.

LOL dude, they kept it super low key so that only exotics came out. The meet organizer is a buddy of mine so let me hang out, although I was supposed to bring an NSX but unfortunately that didn't pan out.
