mwm5094 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 You have him...when I first got mine before any mods, my buddy had an 06 tl stock. We went back and forth a ton of times at stop lights and the closest he ever got to me was about half a car length behind me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingfisher Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Funny you should mention it, I had a run-in with a TL-S a year or so ago. He was ahead of me entering the freeway so he had a slight jump, but my LGT (5MT) caught up with him and I stayed with him until he backed off. With enough road I would've passed him, but I'll admit that it was tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have figured that a stock TL-S should be able to take a LGT relatively easily, between the slightly higher HP and lower drivetrain losses.

Kingfisher Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Stock. The Acura wasn't new, but they've all looked the same for several years now so I can't say for certain what year model. Only that it was a TL-S. I thought the same thing too, was surprised how well the LGT stood up against the Acura. Reaffirmed again that I made the right call taking the value of the LGT vs. the TL. Plus, the TL's in a 6-spd are rare as hens teeth, or atleast they are around here. When we test drove the TL the dealer didn't have a single 6-spd.

06LegacyRBP Posted December 14, 2010 Author Share Posted December 14, 2010 yea a track would be the best place and a bunch of witness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightinchunk Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I honestly think the lgt will take it. i actually just drove a tl type s(08 or so?) back from an acura dealership in wayne to my store and it was a DOGGGG. my coworkers 3.5 altima sedan had it no problem from the onramp forward(35mph to about 90?)

vr4Legacy Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 yea a track would be the best place and a bunch of witness! I don't think that's why he said that.... street racing is dangerous and wreckless to say the least. I'm not going to say I am 100% innocent.... but I don't suggest coming on an internet forum and admitting you intend on doing it..... should something bad happen, lawyers would have a field day with this info..... there is a thread on here about some punk in Canada that took his parents BMW out and raced it, cops got ahold of it and he lost his license I beleive..... It's always best to preface any statment like that with "at a closed course" Having said that... In a closed course, I think you could take him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06LegacyRBP Posted December 14, 2010 Author Share Posted December 14, 2010 i dont plan on racing him or drag racing him...just curious if the LGT can beat a TL bone stock from specs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2005legacy2.5i Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 i dont plan on racing him or drag racing him...just curious if the LGT can beat a TL bone stock from specs I would say yes, especially in Colorado.

never summer Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Sport mode him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaloNHorns2002 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Sport mode FTW! I notice quite a difference between ‘Normal’ and ‘Sport’ with my non-GT 4EAT. Almost any other N/A drivers out there will back me up saying we need all the ‘git’ we can get! I always drive in ‘Sport’, my hand just automatically puts the lever into that gate.
