01 civ vs acural TL

was on a 2 lane road today going to hockey which after the light turns into 1 and i lined up next to an acura tl with some old guy in it. i started inching up because i didnt wanna get stuck behind him. i expected it to be an auto but once the light turned green he launched and i didnt and got owned. that engine is extremely loud when its pushed hard

if i wouldve launched just as the tl did i would have had a much better chance of getting infront of it but because i didnt it owned me. if i had a turbo and launched im pretty positive that i would get infront of it in such a short distance even if i didnt have 275 hp

still not enough to overcome the power difference
the TL-S runs the 1/4 in mid 14's if I'm not mistaken

basically, NA, in a drag, ALL TL's will own the Civic, end of story.... especially the new one....
I have seen the new 6 speed TL parked but never driven hard, that would be nice to see though.
