3.2 L J32A2 (260 hp)

Which (albeit in accordance with Wikipedia) was available in the 2002-2003 TL Type-S.

yep your right. Looks like 2000 didnt have a type S

Well I also have to call BS on the OP story about beating a TL. I barely took one from 0-100kph and he was gaining on me. I know this site isnt completly accurate but there is some sort of truth to it. 0-60 and 1/4 mile times for Factory Stock Vehicles

[matt5112]

type S had a lot more power...

[mechguy]

I am under the impression that the TL did not become "powerful" until 2002.

[matt5112]

which is correct.

which implies the OP's story is incorrect.

[whitehead]

The tinted tails made all the difference.

[01gpgt01]

no way did you run even close to a type S tl
