Test Drove Tl Type-S

I jus test drove the Tl-S and lemme tell you it was amazed. It felt alot differnt than the Cl-S. In bad ways. It felt alot slower, especially off the line. The exhaust is nowhere near as preety looking or sounding, and the handling felt worse than the Cl. Anyone else have the same experiences?

z28..wrxkid..

They're the exact same car -- if you felt that it wan't as fast off the line, then that's your unfortunately opinion, cuz they are .. as previously mentioned, the same car. The springs, shocks are identical too. As for the exhaust .. um, ..hmm.. identical. Wheels, tires... iden.. you know where I'm going with this, you're a smart guy.

The exhaust is slightly different also.

Different enough to affect sound... but I doubt any performance diff.
