The drag slips don't lie...Just checked 'Dragtimes.com'& found the following:Touareg V8 = 15.7 seconds in 1/4 mileAcura TL (2004-2006 model) = low to mid 14's in 1/4 mileThere are timeslips showing TLs in the low 13's, but they have mods, probably CAI & exhaust only since short of the rare Comptech supercharger, there really aren't any other readily available performance modifications available.Also, the longer both cars continued to accelerate, the more pronounced the TL's advantage would be...it has superior aerodynamics (lower drag coefficient).
