Has anyone gone at it with an Acura TL Type-S
Has anyone raced a Acura TL or CL Type-S. If so, with what car, was it a close one, and what was the outcome....?

Yea I raced a few in my 2k1 5spd on the highway, and slowly walked away from them. But they all had passengers when I ran, I was alone. SIZE=4]I now own a CL-S myself, and will say the CL-S is defintely faster[/SIZE]

How come you never told us or the Acura owners the fact that you won in your 2k1 5 speed because there was more people in the Acura? You always had flame wars with the Acura people saying the 5speed was faster...

I'd say the auto TLS vs. an 2k1 auto max wouldn't be a bad race, esp on the highway, maybe there was a car in the way or he punched it late..

I remember hearing that the TL-S was actually faster than the CL-S, opposite of what common sense would say. Since the TL-S now comes in a 6speed too, I think it would match up pretty well with the Max. Personally, I see the two cars as being pretty equal overall, not just in speed or hp.

A 2k Auto Maxima will not have a chance. The auto 2k-2k1 is over 1 sec slower than the TL-S or CL-S. That is a fact.
