im coming from a 2004 6MT TL (258hp) (270HP OLD RATING)
sorry guys, as much as i love my s2k. from a roll. the 04-08 6MT TL & TL-S "WILL" pull on us on the highway. (comprobable driver ofcourse)
the 08 TL-S 6MT wont have a problem putting 2 cars on an s2k ON A 70+ROLL.
i raced an s2k with my car from 70-120ish and we were dead even. (TL-S HAS MORE BALLS)

Thank you! Finally someone with experience with those cars. I have a hard time believing this TL-S I raced wasn't modded in one way or another. When it went WOT, it screamed. But my S2000 was dyno'd at 210rwhp. Which isn't too bad for the year and simple mods. But still... this particular '08 TL-S was quick. I know what I raced. It wasn't the BRAND NEW one with the crazy grill. Maybe... MAYBE if it was a real race with 3 honks at the start, it might have been a little different outcome. But IDK.
also, the 6MT 4th gear pulls HARD all the way up to like 120MPH.
shouldnt have trouble with the automatics. (how can you tell? look at the front brakes....brembos=6mt)

let the "murdered out" TL, meet this "Murdered out S200", potentially different outcome 
In all seriousness I would expect one of those to pull on an S2000, they have more power and at a roll, weight is less of a factor. Those cars do have a mean looking exhaust........
