WTH does spacers have to do with performance? You sound young? Or do you always type in fragments? Not hating, just think you should click the edit button and rephrase some of the stuff you attempted to write. A+ for effort though

Edit: Ask your bro how much HP his Vtech sticker gives him

Having a hard time reading your post.... Stock for stock tl-s is no match for an is350. Also, your stock is350 will take his type s - no match period

Resonator deleted and spacers don't add performance...like everyone else said, your 350 will eat him alive.

Nvm, I understand what you mean now, engine spacer. Thought you meant wheel spacers, might be a fair match. Go race him and find out, put it in D with traction control off and floor it. Don't put it on sports mode...it's garbage.

acura tl-s with greddy exhuast and spacers

You know that's going to add maybe 3 HP to the wheel, right?

Even the people on the TL forums at acurazine fear the IS350 -

http://tl.acurazine.com/forums/showt...php?p=11898033

Someone claimed to "gain a car length" on an IS350 in 1st gear

Here were the responses from the acura people:

"He might not have mashed the gas completely."

"the IS350 is much faster, unfortunately. with you + the weight of 2 other passengers, there's no way you would've kept up with an IS350 with a driver who knows how to drive........an automatic "


"He likely held off a bit, which resulted in a close race. "

"If it really was a IS350, you'd have no chance at all. Those are possible of mid 13's stock in the quarter mile. That's like almost a full second over you."

"Yea he prolly left traction control on or just sucks at driving those cars are qucik!!"

"Indeed and they are strong on top end, and trap at 104-105 ish stock."

"you should have lost by a light year"

"yeah right <--- I think that is what I will say from now on"

"+1 those things are ***** to the wall fast"


"yea bro i drove one and if you know how to take traction control off lol they run hard!!!
"

"I lose to my friend's stock IS350 badly even if I get a good jump. He also drives it harder than I've ever seen someone drive a nice car."

hahaha oh **** i forgot about that one.


"i dunno i dont mess with them anymore lol. i've only ran one before and only because i thought it was a 250 lol since it was at night and most of them are IS250s.

IS350 and IS-F are the only lexuses that i respect.


IS250 is garbage though i rape the **** out of those all day everyday and twice on sundays. fortunately most of the IS out there are IS250s lol"


ooops
