Many months ago I started a thread on here and was bashed saying, I only have 10 posts and this and that, I told everyone I was in touch through my shop w Diablo and SCT and I GUARANTEED the Type S was a failure and would Struggle to break a 13.90 pass. Well, I got bashed left and right saying I was clueless ,I even left my email and my number for anyone who wanted to put money where there mouth was ,I sure was ready . I told all of you that with that SH AWD system platform and that specific Trans 13.90s weren't happening . So far I have seen about 10 at local drag strips and just like I said I'm seeing 14.20s 30s with a best of a flat 14 at 103 mph 😳 so IM BACK . To gladly say I told you so . The caR is a complete PIG, it is slow has horrible mid range and top end, handles above average and the best thing it offers is the stereo and the braking . So where are all my shit talking haters that said I was a fool and way off and this was a 12 second car.?? You suckers paid near 60k for a 14 Second car..... wow 👏that is Blazing performance LMAO . Compete failure a one and done vehicle ...SUCKERS

I eagerly awaited it as a long overdue replacement for my beloved '07 TL Type-S 6MT. And after all the pre-introduction hype about performance talk I was bitterly disappointed by the reality.
But you need to clean the lint out of your navel so you can see out. It's too heavy, too slow, lacks common features available even on the TLX and Accord, but it sure the hell can run in the 13s.
Car & Driver got a 13.6 quarter-mile at 103 mph in their test.
