Only way to know is to race. I know who *should* win but who cares, just do it. I always looked for people who I thought might out run me to add to the fun, not races I knew I could win. Not in the TL obviously.

Theoretically on paper i shouldn't have a problem pulling him but i just wanna be sure cuz him and his friends are big shit talkers and i havent said anything but i've had enough and agreed to his challenge, he hasnt picked when he wants to race me tho
P.s. it turns out he is a 2005 acura tl 5AT not an 06 but both years are the same car not like it'll make a difference lol

The who will win threads are stupid. You want to race, you might win but be prepared to lose. Its almost like you are looking for a guaranteed win before you will race anyone. You really need to get over worrying about what other people will say because its something win or lose you can’t control .

Dude, your car is 'debeast.' I don't think you'll have a problem with anyone.

It should be a close run.

stock vs stock the accord v6 and TL run similar times give or take a tenth. The better launch will take the victory IMO. Be safe.

You just ruined his plans to troll lol. He will probably still go on about gear ratios and such.

I had trouble with one of those subcompact Italian cars.

Off topic but waaaay back in the day I had a 3-cylinder Geo Metro turbo revving on me at a light. The driver was with his hot ass GF. I was laughing but be was serious. When it went green I hesitated just to make sure he was serious and sure enough his 135s were screeching a little. Probably the most mis matched race I ever had, an 8 second or more difference in 1/4 times. I probably got lucky that his wasn't a manual with better gear ratios than my auto. Wait it was a manual. It doesn't make sense that my 10 second 4at with a very tall 1st gear (overall) could beat an 18 second 5mt. I'm sure if we kept racing he would have blown by me like I was standing still.
