I killed one of my own....
 

....on the way home from work the other day in my '02 Acura 3.2 TL. Damn thing FLIES - I knew it was fast (225 hp), but I didn't think I could take out a Stang. Well, these two guys and their girlfriends in a '88-89 GT pulled up to me and my wife at a light. The car sounded like it had flowturds on and I swear I heard a cam too. It was a really nice looking GT. I put my window down, asked them a couple things about their car, told them a little about my LX. They said they liked my Acura, asked if it was fast. Before the light turned green, and after we stopped talking they revved and I looked over as they all were smiling. I smiled back. I switched on the traction control, slapped the gear shifter into Sport-shift mode. When the light green, we were off.....at least I was. I could hear his wheels screaming. By the time he got traction, I was GONE, literally 6 car lead. We took it to about 85 (2100 rpm'
s http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/biggrin.gif ) He may have gained slightly, but nothing noticeable. We pulled up at another light, he said he was surprised by my car...I said I was too, asked what the 1/4 time is, I told him about 15.1-15.3 (according to Acura). I'm not a ricer now am I http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/biggrin.gif? After all, it is a V6! LOL

No way, I really like my Acura TL, but I LOVE my Stang. My wife's tried many times to get me to sell it (she's not as accepting of it as alot of you guys' girlfriends/wives are)......NEVER! http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/biggrin.gif I ended up choosing to keep my 5.0 badges on!

i liked that bit http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/biggrin.gif

If it ain't broke, make it go faster

I bet the traction control actually might have slowed you down a little. Try it with it off. I think my wife's Lexus ES 300 is faster without it. It barely spins anyway and you don't want that thing pulling power out when you're just starting out.

1/4 mi.

If it's in "auto-mode" it is actually quicker w/ the traction off, but I've tried it both ways in the "sport-shift" mode, and I spun really bad....almost into 3rd. My wife's basically banned me from street racing in "her car" now http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/wink.gif, so I guess I'll have to bring it to the track now http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/biggrin.gif http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/biggrin.gif

Great kill man! I also enjoy driving the wife's car as well. Her little infinity hadles pretty good. Kinda slow on the take off but nice at highway speeds with the kids and all.
