Thread: opinions before TL race

So my brother has an 03 acura tl type-s completely stock. I was surprised when i looked up the specs being it has 260hp and only 235 tq and still managesa 6.5 sec 0-60, the lowest I could get in my 01 gtp was about 6.7 secs. he is always running his mouth, my cars the s-type, 260hp, blah blah blah. how do you think i would fair against him i have an 01 gtp with a 3" catted dp u-bend delete, cai, plog, 180 tstat, al 605s do you think I would take him, I wanted to get opinions before I race him, i want to make sure if we race that I will win. also i just recieved my overkill pcm and 3.5 pulley that will be going in on thursday, i assume that the pulley and pcm will close the deal for me.

You should beat him my brother bought one new in 03 and I can tell you that it does not do 0-60 in 6.5 maybe in 6.8-7.0. You should beat him, but if you don't his tranny will break soon my brother's blew 3 times under the warrenty before he sold it and got a GTP.

He traded it because the tranny broke 3 times in 2 years and his car was not modded so he bought an 05 GTP Comp G which was great to him for the 2 years he had before he sold it and got a 06 Goat.
