actually, we look at torque. and you think your tiny little 160ftlbs gonna pull hard at highspeed than TL's 200+ftlbs?

the tl will pull the quick start off of course but if you know anything about the 8, you would know that the torque for the 8 stays constant while most cars lose torque with shifts and different rpms

also RX8 being RWD the drivetrain loss is alot more than FWD TL.

how come R3 is heavier than older version when its the same car?
and you think you picking on me gonna make your car faster?
09+ has different gearing if anything its actually faster than pre 09 version.

go race your boy... don't say we didn't warn you. there are times where i am following my wife and we play around in the streets even during mild acceleration i have to push the throttle more than her to at least catch-up to her. i love my 8 and i'm very sure she can out perform certain vehicles.
but this is one of those races where i can guarantee you will lose.

i didnt start this thread as a **** talking thread, it was just to get people talking. im just wondering why everyone is so against the 8. on paper (yes i know dif driver etc) the 8 and tl are close in quarter mile times and hp per lbs car weight , so why cant my car with some slight mods shave off .15 of a second and at least make it a decent race

im just sayin i paid 600 for a cobb, 600 for the hks ignition, 600 for exhaust and pipe, plus whatever couple hund for the intake and all that cant shave enough time to even make it a decent race where it will come down to whos a better driver. this is hard for me to believe

I just about bought an '08 TL Type-S before I got my Jeep. Now, As much as I love the Rex, the TL-S would definitely beat it in a straight line. A stock TL, probably not, but the Type-S... ...Definitely. (unless of course, he just can't drive)

its just a statement if a tl can go 130 and a 8 can go 140+ which car is faster ? its gonna be a quarter mile race in jersey, this post was just for discussion on why an 8 cant shave off enough time to make it a decent race
