I watched them in some GT races they are almost stock weight and that FWD pulled them around MoSport just fine. My wife really likes them (me too)..I know the Real Time Racing cars are not stock ...

man this is sooo ironic.. i was studying up on this car today.... i think i have been getting this car mixed up with the tsx...
i was comparing it with the legacy gt. in terms of hp to weight ratio it beats the legacy by one lb. i think there was one area where the legacy edged... the turning radius for the tl is like 39 and the gt 35 ft.
overall i think the tl is so hot. i wonder why they decided with sohc though...
i think the legacy has a real uphill battle against that car.


*OMG! that caddy(below) drool*

WWEERRDD Dave you read my mind..We gotz to hook up and get our drink on...Sorry the TL dosen't even compare to the CTS-V and yes it is and I like it way more than the 300C..Believe what you want but before we bought the STI the normal CTS was one of the cars we looked real hard at but my wife said we weren't old enough to drive a Caddy..I said Bitzh please back up off theze ...yes it is 4AM...

Why does it need to be FWD....?

So I could own a STI

I still think about the TL all the time......its sexy as hell and the interior is perfect, too bad it has trouble putting the power down coming out of the corner.

With the exception of the NSX, all other Honda V6 motors are SOHC.
