Re: shocked by the TL
Any 04 or 02-03 TLS will usually be pretty close to a G sedan or coupe auto to 50 or so, but the G should have the advantage down low. TL and TLS's really dont utilize that torque down low as the 3.5 powered cars of the Nissan family

Re: shocked by the TL
"but ugly if not kitted. buy an accord for gods sake, they look better."
Are you on crack!? Those new accords look like beavers from the front (*chomp* *chomp*); LOL! I just laugh every time I look at one; the old ones (coupes, at least) were so much nicer and, dare I say, "classier" looking (for a Hon-duh).

Re: shocked by the TL
What I ran a 2004 auto tl vs my auto g few weeks back and both of us in mm both of us break torque to 2000 and off the line I already had 1/2 car lead due to him being fwd I kept lead till about 60 or so then I slowly pulled him by 2cars at about 80-85mph. The auto TLS run 14.8-15.0 at 94mph while auto gs run 14.4-14.6 99mph so the g is the faster car

Re: shocked by the TL
i thought the tl and coupe were pretty close neck in neck when it comes to straightline performance and overall power (0-60: 6.3 vs. 5.9)? so, it shouldn't be much of a surprise.

Re: shocked by the TL
the new tl's are pretty quick. However, once you get into turns, that's when the TL fades back into your rear view mirror.

Re: shocked by the TL
Dude, you're not gonna notice a difference in 0-40 acceleration. Both cars are in first gear and first gear is always nice and short....it's more about how fast the engine can rev than about who has more power. You should have raced from 0-120 (assuming you have a safe parking lot or something to race on), then the G would have out-accelerated it. Come on, my friend's Miata (0-60 in 8.5 seconds or something) can keep up with me on the streets when we do hard acceleration in 1st gear. But once we hit 40+, byebye Miata!!!!!

Re: shocked by the TL
it was a stock tl, but he kept up with my through like 55 i'd say, but i dont really understand because it is such a big car. We were in the middle of the road and i topped out at 100......so no we werent in a nice situation to hit 120.

Re: shocked by the TL
I tested mine out yesterday in MM mode and I reached 66mph in second gear before I had to shift up so I think either you have to brake torque these cars off the line to get the performance out of it or you take it out of the AT mode and redline the sucker before shifting.
I know one member said that you get the same performance if you leave it in AT mode and floor it so maybe you just need to race it to its full extent...

PS. Those TL's are quick though.
