Default Our closest FWD compitition!

I drove the new 07 Acura TL-S 6 speed yesturday and was pleased to see that Acura missed the mark. It is our closest FWD compitition but is not quicker than any of the LS4 cars. Handling is definately better in the TL-S. Braking is on par with the GXP. Exhaust sound is nonexistent compared to our V-8. Torque? maybe! Interior was first rate,sporty and included navi. The price was high at $38,500.00. With the price of the TL-S I would say the GXP is a tremendous value.

I'd be careful taking one off a roll. Our 4 speed transmissions have some weak spots. So with their six speed, they probably have an edge at certain roll speeds. How much HP\TQ are they putting out?

They are rated at 286 horse and 258 ft/lbs of torque. Yeah from a roll with a good driver they are tough.
