97 max vs. 99 acura

now, first off, i want to say that i know "if you want to find out who will win a race, just race", but i am going to ask who will win here. my buddy just got a 99 acura 3.2 tl sedan auto, and i have a stick 97 max. who would win in this race? i would race him, but i don't know when we will see eachother again.

Hrm.. my dad has a 99TL and i have a 97 stick max .. lol. If only he'd race me ...

The TL has more HP but also weighs like 400some pounds more. I would put my money on the max in a second.

go rip him apart...and then laugh at him...j/k
it'll be a good race, if u got a 5sp and he has a TL NON-typeS then i think there's no contest

the '99 TLs only had a 4spd auto, it really sucked away its performance.. the 2000+s had the 5spd auto and it erally helped with performance... now for the Magazine time the '99 did 0-60 in7.4 vs 6.7 for the '00 and up

everyone says that you don't lose high-end power like you do with the cai. you also don't lose low-end power like you do with a cone filter

if you are even a halfway good driver you will kill the acura. i have beaten 1 of them in my auto, with just my CAI, so have fun tearing him a new one

I raced one getting onto a highway. You will win no problem. By around 85 or so I was several carlengths ahead. Make sure you get up to 80-100. But I recommend stopping there. Those Vtec thingies are know for their highway revving power. I'm guessing it may pass the max at very high speeds.
