Just curious. Starting to see a few of these bad boys rolling around here and wondering if any of you have had a chance to smoke one yet (or get smoked?). Curious what I'll be up against should I meet one on 285 here in ATL.

Edmunds spec sheet shows very similar #'s to the 6th Gens.

Performance
Base Number of Cylinders: 6 Base Engine Size: 3.5 liters
Base Engine Type: V6 Horsepower: 286 hp
Max Horsepower: 6200 rpm Torque: 256 ft-lbs.
Max Torque: 5000 rpm Drive Type: FWD
Turning Circle: 39.7 ft.

 

My body just bought one. seems pretty fast, but i dont think it is faster than my Max. I think they are pretty equal. He doesnt let me drive tho and he doesnt want to race cuz of the cops and new driving laws in VA. But the thing is i can burn out on my third gear too around 4500 rpm which he has hard time doing that. Anyway race one and let us know

 

Before this thread gets locked, simply put: 30 more HP and same torque with a couple of hundred pounds extra weight (compare to 04-06 Max), I say the TL will have an edge given equal drivers.
