After seeing that 1SICKLEX was over there, I decided to snoop around. It seems that the 2002 TLS will DESTROY a GS430, did you know that ? And also a BMW 330. Not a modded TLS mind you, a stock. When they buy these cars from Acura, are they no longer allowed to read car magazines ? One guy was able to shave off more than .6 on his 0-60 time w/out mods !! Apparently he is a better driver than anyone at Road and Track, Car and Driver, Motor Trend, even Acura's own website !! And let it be known that even with the less than stellar workmanship complaints (paint cracks, so-so leather, plastic everywhere, dash peeling), GS owners are getting "ripped off". But no need to worry, apparently there was some need for clarification, so I was kind enough to tear them some new, shall we say, "**** cavities".

Don't know what the hell that person is talking about. Beating a 430, don't think so man. I have the 400 and have no problem beating that car along with the type S models. Lets beat for money
They are just kidding themselves thinking they can beat the GS....

Sure, TL with NOS could beat 330 but how about what if everyone has NOS, let's see who will beat who. Plus at the racing track, horsepower ain't gonna get you anywhere if your car can't turn nor you don't know how to drive. If one just wants to compare horsepower, he should challenge American muscle cars.
