I drive a 99TL with h/p/i.. so its still not as fast as an SE-R. its pretty obvious that was i going to lose, but he was neck to neck with me at a traffic light and he was revvinng. it sounded alot less quieter than my Z (that i wished i was driving), but wasnt that bad. i decided to give it a go. i just left the AC running (hot day), the TCS on, and decided to just go on D4 auto. lights green, hit the gas, and i hear a REALLY loud grinding noise then a loud thump, i was slammed the brakes to look over to see wat happened, i looked back and i see his car jerking back and forth, then the engine shuts off.

THE KIDDDD in his brand new SE-R didnt know how to drive stick properly and thought he can have a go against me! what an asssss. he tried to look all slick and cool until he pulled that off.. i wonder how embarrasing that must be, especially with a girl sitting next to him. i just drove off before he tried provoking me for a rematch..

Haha thats funny..i hate people like that...ill always race a car i know is faster than mine..just to see if the driver knows how to drive the car...then the person gets mad when the TL blows by

THAT'S TIGHT! hahaha-

tl_badboy96

the new se-r is only 260hp and the 99 tlp i think is 260hp. depends on the driver.

F23A4

99 3.2TL = 225hp

Even with Comptech I/H/E, smart money's on the SE-R (provided the SE-R gets traction).

aaronnn

uhhh.. man, i knew he was supposed to KILL me. but the idiot didnt even know how to drive. there is no way i shouldve even kept up with him unless what resulted in that post i put up. so reading might help. haha

i was in my buddy's 300ZX twin turbo one night and we lined up for a race with 2 other cars. he stalled out bad at the light. once he got the car re-started he floored it. we still passed everyone.

heh heh. i guess it helps when you're making 400hp at the wheels

SSTS

ps - on a side note i am a little disappointed that all these other cars are beginning to match our horsepower. it's gonna be harder and harder to school punkasses who think their civic si is a indy pace car.

aaronnn

yeah.. its really getting annoying with all these little teenager cars getting alotta powers.

reynaldo

Probably he's not a good driver after all.Cuz that thing can beat 6mt tl.
Anyways, good run.

PIERCE@ACURA-O.P.

VERY TRUE>>

my "kill" list is comprised of cars that should have beaten me-some have 75 or more hp. than me but hey, when you hit the trees and its party time anything can happen:

02 camaro "ss" with exhaust AND wide rubber(car sounded mean)
99 trans am-big borla exhaust and guy wore a helmet-lol
04 wrx-modded 4wd with bigger turbo and blowoff valve screamin'
01 mustang gt-big exhaust and "racing stripes" +raised hood?
05 mustang GT-manual-bone stock with temp tag-my most gratifying win
99 mitsubishi 3000gt-modded
01 pontiac GTP-supercharged, short pulleys, exhaust+ engine mods(fast car)

All of the above are the proud owners of the dreaded yellow slip....

erm i call ... u couldnt have beaten a camero ss .... a REAL one that is ... heh

MattT516

I think he's talking about at the track, but I may be wrong though. In that case, I've beaten up plenty of cars that are faster than mine! The track is all that matters in the end anyway, that's where the good drivers really show up.

PIERCE@ACURA-O.P.

sorry to say but I did-I have many witnesses and the time slip to prove it.

I should have lost, but obviously he over revved and spun too much at launch. My car runs very low 9's which doesn't leave much room for error...even for a SS(I'm in the car business-i know it was a real one)

PIERCE@ACURA-O.P.

oh yea-

I am talking about the track-I try not to street race. We have a 1/'8 mile track here in jacksonville.

Well the Camaro cut a bad lite because my old 98 SS 6MT went 13.4@105mph stock. With headers, drag radials, catback and airbox I went 12.99@110mph.

My 98 Formula went 10.3@136 (105 1/8th) last year.

I think my stock 6MT TL feels like 14.2@100mph, hopefully the Injen CAI will get me into a 13.99 at the track in the near future.

aaronnn

do you read??? i stated i have a 99TL. and if you know TL's, they didnt make a manual back then. the SE-R driver was a noob that didnt even know how to clutch properly. its not even a real race, he stalled and cut his engine when i didnt even get to second gear on my sportshift.


imean alotta these teens driving all these ponycars/powerful V6's, V8's and even turbo I-4's (evos and sti's.), its getting annoying especially when they cant even drive it properly. seriouslly.. parents need to buy them a practice car or something first. then maybe later, let them afford their own cars, if they want a supercar..

NYZGREATST

wait, your 04 acura tl runs very low 9's in the quarter mile?!?!!?

Indyjenks

Geeze........chill Aaronnn......you're only 19 yourself!

naba2002

hey guys ...first off was it a sentra ser? or do they make altimas ser too now? second i beat a mini cooper s when theguy couldnt get off the line n stalled too. and i dont mean to call anyone a liar but its very hard to belive that u are running 9's in the 1/4 mile.

ou sig

obviously not - he is talking about the 1/8 mile track

PIERCE@ACURA-O.P.

NO the 1/8 mile. If i was doing that in the quarter you would see me on NOPI TV racing.
Unfortunately I can't see ANY TL getting below 13 sec's in the quarter without using some combo of SC AND nitrous which would put way too much stress on the tranny. As far as I know there is no race clutch available for our cars(3rd GEN)...

PIerce

NYZGREATST

ahh makes way more sense now. i was bout to say thats one super tl

wow...such hostility. I am pretty sure his point in mentioning the 6MT was beacause it is faster than a 99 TL, which as you stated doesn't come with a manual tranny. Therefore if a Sentra SE-R could be a 6MT, then it could easily beat a 99 TL...if it were a real race and the kid knew how to drive. Now, I am not so sure that the SE-R could beat a 6MT but i may be wrong. As I am sure everyone knows, the upped the HP to 270 in '04 but I am not sure what the TQ #'s are and I don't feel like looking right now. I have raced an '03 SE-R with H/I/E from a roll (40 mph) and blew him away in my 02 TL-S. I am pretty sure that he could get me off the line but I would catch up very quickly. Not to big into racing but that is my Please correct me if i am wrong and aaronnn you should have backed up and told his girl to get into your car. That would have been appropriate IMO.

03CoupeV6

As in a Sentra SE-R? The Altima SE-R just came out. The Altima 3.5SE is a quick sedan. It's probably about as fast as a TL-S. The VQ35 was underrated, it has about 250TQ.

snowman81

Yes, sorry for not clarifying that...it was an Sentra, seeing as how the altima did not make an SE-R in '03. And yeah, that Altima SE-R is quick. I have a friend that that test drove one and he said it was sick. Very quick for an Altima.

F23A4

......the one I drove chirped into 2nd gear WITH the TCS on AND it was a 5AT. The torque put down by the SE-R's VQ35DE seems to completely overpower the stock S-03s.

2003 Acura TLS260-Silver

TLP is 225 HP and TLS is 260. Theoretically, the Altima SE-R should take the TL because it has a manual transmission option. It's got thick sway bars and S03 Bridgestone tires which give it really good traction. These races depend on the driver's experience and knowledge.
