Nope, not trying to be a magazine racer, but C&D has the TL-S at 7.6 to 60 and 16.0 in the quarter. They recently tested a CL-S manual, with a Comptech supercharger setup and that one ran low 14s.
I don't like that number, so I found an online source with the quarter mile time in the low 15s for a TL-S. That one seems alot better.

Are you kidding? My WRX stock can run low 14s in the quarter, my friends with just a boost controller and exhaust upgrades runs high 13s. You'll be lucky to even break 16 in a TL-S.

But my sister is interested in the following... Sentra SE-R SpecV, VW Jetta, 03 Accord , and even a Subaru WRX (not STi though, she doesnt want all that power or the insurance, even though my dad will pay for her spoiled tail)
She likes 350z too...but here the insurance for one is crazy and shes more into sedans than coupes...but im trying to get her into the WRX, all i know is i'll have to "borrow" it when im working on my car. But what would you say?

Really? I seriously hope you're joking right. Obviously a TL-S that can't break the 16's can't drive for crap. The CL-S 6speed can do low 14's and a TL-S (which only comes in Auto) with a good launcher can do mid 14's. If you're talking 1/4 mile times ya, the WRX has an advantage on the launch, and FR drive cars have a limit as to how good their 1/4 mile times and their HP because of traction - but from a roll, the TL-S WOULD infact kill any stock WRX. Come over to Acuraworld.com or acura-cl.com and we can discuss this further.

Nah, I'll just discuss it here. Read my post on the top of the page. C&D must have been trippin when they got that 16.0, and I must have been trippin for using it. After more searches, the BEST time I could find for a TL-S is in the high 14s, and mid 14s for a CL-S manual. Check here (yes, more magazine numbers, but hey, it's better than nothing eh?) Also of interest is their 30-50mph number of TL and WRX. I believe you're right about the roll, but you know what they say about racing from a roll and masturbation right?
