Alright so my mom has an Acura 3.2 TL and I have a 97 auto with intake, catback, and a y - pipe. Ive always wanted to race her but I never really cared enough to actually go out and do it. Anyway a couple nights ago we were going home and I got her to race me. I dropped it to 1st and power braked at about 1.5k. We took off and I had her off the line and then just left her easy. I thought it would be closer than that. 225hp vtec engine. I dont know but I was happy. Her stock 0-60 is 7.1.

 

What year is her TL? I have a '96 3.2TL. I hate the suspension. It's floaty. I would never race in that! (certainly not on curves)

 

wow you got your mom to race??? maybe she wasn't goin at it cause it's new or she was just chicken(no offense), but then again, isn't that 0-60 time the same as us autos? plus you had the xtras. i say.........GOOD KILL!!!!

 

my mom has a 2.5 tl....her car was blockin mine tonite, so i was forced to take it...it sucks .....like stygian said, its too floaty...maybe one day ill get my friend to take it out and race me in it....but i doubt that'll ever happen....and i doubt my mom racing me will ever happen either

 

I half way raced my girlfriends father in her mom's 2003 3.2 TL Auto. I have a homeade hybrid intake (not like my sig). It was even, though i might have had the advantage, my girlfriend told me to slow down at 50 and we were on a 60 MPH road .

 

It might have been closer if your mom powerbraked too or you launch "normally."

 

Man... your mom raced you? Your mom is cool. My friend owns a maxima and his mom owns a 3.2 TL also. Weird...

 

i think stock for stock they are pretty even, until higher speeds i believe the acura starts to pull. but u had the xtra's so that is why u won

 

LOL.. yeah I guess my mom is pretty tight... maybe if she had launched with power braking it she would have done better. All I know is that I saw her in the rear view mirror. stock to stock i think she would prob barely take me. Xtras definitely helped out. The real test will be when I race my friends 2001 Acura 3.2 CL. he has an AEM intake... what do yall think will happen?? I predict a very close race!

 

u got ur mama to race???
if i asked my mom to race, she'd slap me on my head for wanting to race

 

I raced a stock one before and beat it. he was about a car and half ahead and I floored it and so did he when he heard me. I ended up about a car in front by 80 or so.

 

I am trying to get my gf to race me in her '92 525i (M5* full-conversion) My 95 SE 5spd is stock for now but i have some mods starting to come in, and plenty more on the way! I will keep yall posted. I drive her car alot and for a '92 auto sedan, it is extremely fast.

* M5 conversion - ECU upgrade, upgraded intake, exhaust, suspension, wheels, THE WORKS.
