Zkoya786 · 07-14-2007, 01:57 PM

Well yesterday on my way home from school, I was stopped behind a 3.2 TL type S..and from what it looked like..the car was stock..as for me, i just have an aem short ram intake..so anyways.light turns green..he floors it..so i floor it as well..i get onto the lane next to him..and slowly start pulling on him..i was behind him when i started..and we go to about 70-80 and i was right beside him..so im pretty sure if we kept going i woulda kept pulling away..but arent the 3.2 type S suppose to be pushing like 260 hp or something..i wasn't to impressed by that..My friends 06 3.5 se altima (auto) has like 245 hp..but when me and him race.it is pretty much even..

TL should beat you by couple cars... maybe it was an automatic TL-S?

The 2003 TL-S had a 3.2l engine with 260 HP on the old rating system, probably equivilent to about 250 now.

ALL 2nd gen TLs were autos
