Someone posted 3 sketchy videos of his Acura TL Type S racing an IS350 and winning twice. I know the official stats have the 350 faster in 0-60 and 1\4 mile, and he doesn't explain much in his comments.

Maybe the TL-S driver is just better at driving

It's not BS. The IS350 isn't miles ahead of the Acura TL Type-S. The new Type-S utilizes the 3.5L engine instead of the former 3.2L V6.

In a race with different drivers, the outcome can always differ, especially in a race with two cars that are close in speed.

oh yes, racing someone with the windows open is sooooo good for the aerodynamics.

Anything is possible. We don't know the mods on either car, weight of drivers, etc.

Hmmm.... The winner was always the car with only one person in it. Does that mean something?!?

Good observation. It would be a closer race if both cars had the same amount of people in it that weigh about the same.

What do they say. 1 hp for every 10lbs.

Looking at more of his videos it appears to be from Canada and the racing is quite sketchy. "1 2 3 GO!!"
