A good friend of mine has 97 acura 3.5TL and i got 2k1 SE. Both auto - both no mods (well, he has a tint :))
who do you think would get the kill ?
not that we are gonna race or anything, just wondering.

Also - i guess it's a stupid question - what about 2000 Altima ? :)

3.5 TL? Or do you mean 3.5 RL? Or is it 3.2TL? Anyhow, you should win against any one of those. The older 3.2TL has only like 200hp.

It's all good... The RL is pretty heavy, so don't sweat it :D

type r is close...new rsx is close...nsx is not close...everything else we can beat stock vs. stock

You sure the rsx can measure up to the Max? It only has 160 hp...I know it's lighter but I doubt it would compensate for the almost 60 hp difference.

If my memory serves me right. The 3.5RL has a 3.5L SOHC nonvtec 24 valve V6 that makes 215hp and 230tq. Acura made this car to respond in a way that only V8's can by giving it alot of low-end torque. It made all of its torque at 2,800rpms. 0-60 times according to Acura is 6.8seconds. I do not recall any magazines getting that time but I do recall them getting this car to do a low 7 second 0-60 time. I'd watch out for this car.

I agree... The TL is kinda slow but the RL is definitely a watchout.

Yes the old 2.5TL and 3.2TL or the "Vigor" replacements were dead slow.
