LoL why only the 1/4 mile times ? Do you see any TL-S in Auto-X's ?
You do realize IS300 does well in Auto-X's .... 1/4 miles don't determine a cars ability.
Although IS300 lacks in power ( came out I believe it's 3rd year in the US ) it has no problems in the twisties and is an overall good performer.

A run for it's money ? An IS300 will rip up the TL-S in an Auto-X Keep on racing with a mag fanboy.
No I'm not bitter that the Nets lost. Atleast they make it to the finals. They were the underdogs and they were expected to lose.


Oh yea... if you want to go fast in a straight line, there are many better choices than the TL-S

If someone wants to autocross, there are many better choices than an is300.

oh yeah, seriously, fwd bashing is kind of old now. Hondas and acuras are some of the best fwd handling cars ever, like the rsx and integra. Plus several fwd cars do very well in touring car competitions.

Why don't you name a couple ? A stock IS300 outhandles a lot of cars...

And I did give credit to the ITR, we're talking about the TL-S and even the CL-S ... those cars are boats... with their weight and all that power = torque steer.

BMWs, G35. BTW, I picked up a rag and it says the TL type S basically matches the is300 for skidpad and slalom.

You really do think that the G35 sedan can outhandle an IS ? and which BMW ? the 325 ? the 330? the M3 ?

I'd give it to the 330CI and the M3 but a 325 can't outhandle an IS...

and you seriously must be smoking crack .. if you think the TL-S can hang with an IS in the twisties.

ACURA TL-S ISN"T A SPORTS SEDAN~!!!!

it's FWD

it's a SEDAN

It being a sedan should qualify it for being a sport sedan? Now its not qualified for being a coupe..cause..its well a sedan!

wtf are you talking about ? TL-S is the sedans ... they have no coupe versions of it... You're thinking of the CL, CL-S which they killed off
which is also FWD. I call it a BOAT

I think you misunderstood me.

You said TL-S isn't a sport sedan, then as proof to the claim, you said its a sedan...which doesn't really help your case. I was just being cheeky

My bad on the typo..the last word in my post was supposed to be sedan.

That's all it is.. a SEDAN there are misconceptions of people here thinking it's sporty. It's not
It's more Family Sedan than anything. FWD =/ SPORT.

Ah ok. You should have said: It's JUST a sedan!

I personally think its a SPORTY sedan. Not sport sedan, but sporty. Btw, FWD can equal Sport...look at the Type-R.

I've never heard of any "Type-R" car being a sports car.

If you think that any Saturn series is a good pick for either of those two categories, you need to put the pipe down.

I've had a 99 SL2 for the past four years. Not a single problem with it and it gets excellent gas mileage. 53,000+ miles and not a single regret.

I never heard of the TL/CL having problems with torque steer. They don't have that much torque.

Usually torque steer is associated with the Altima and Maxima, being more torquey FWD'ers.
