I raced a Audi last night in the rain. It was pretty crazy. We were on the freeway. He would pull on me but never made a car length and then I would keep even with him. I don't know if it was an S4 or a A4 but it was quick
The normal TL runs a Low 15 auto to High 14 manual with the engine that was rated at 270hp, I don't think the Type S will be that much faster, they are 286hp and 256tq.
I can't imagine them doing much to a WRX until higher speeds. I went to AOL Autos (lol, i know) and they have an article on the updated TL/TL-S and it says the TL-S weighs in at 3560 pounds. Couple that with all the weight over the front wheels and I don't see much of a problem when it comes to stock vs stock. A stage 2 WRX would eat this thing alive.
Unless there is a huge difference between the Type S and normal one, they are quick cars but not fast. Not sure how it would mach up with a wrx but like I posted before a manual non type s is a high 14 sec car.
I've lost from the new TL-S from a dig, though we weren't able to go much past 60 because of traffic. They are quick cars, I would not underestimate them.
In your WRX? If anything, at the absolute worst, you should have taken him to 60 with the AWD launch being in your favor. I assume that it would have only gotten worse from then on if he took you to 60.
Just because something is rated at 290hp doesn't make it fast, I have seen the stock WRX have a faster quarter mile time than cars that are rated a much higher hp. The acura is also almost 3700lbs. IMO if the WRX has a good driver it would win but we wont know until somebody actually does it.
everyone is a little too fanboy on here sometimes. The stock WRX is quick, but the only real advantage it has over other cars is the AWD lauch, and the top end with the td04 is bad especially in the 2.5-- as opposed to a car that has more factory HP and a much better top end. Yes it weighs more, but not that much more.
if you went from a roll in a stock WRX I beleive you would lose, from a dig it would probably be close. Even a stage 2 from a roll it would be a drivers race.
