Which would win in a head-2-head takeoff? 2004 acura TL vs. 2005 VW Touareg V8.?

Question

it's a v6 vs a v8, but the touareg is about 2000 lbs heavier. which do u think would be faster? anyone know from experience?

Answer 1

I can't believe all the people who say the Touareg would win. I used to have an 04 TL, and clocked 0-60 times of around 6 seconds, very good considering I didn't power brake or anything. I once rented an Audi A8 (which has the exact same engine found in the Toureg) that weighs less than the

Touareg and it didn't feel nearly as fast as my TL. In reality, the Touareg is a huge, slow, ugly, fuel inefficient piece of crap that would get its *** kicked by an 04 TL, even with the V8.



I'd even wager a bet that the new Acura MDX with its V6 (which weighs about the same as a Touareg if not more) would beat a V8 Touareg hands down.

Answer 2

The drag slips don't lie...



Just checked 'Dragtimes.com' & found the following:



Touareg V8 = 15.7 seconds in 1/4 mile

Acura TL (2004-2006 model) = low to mid 14's in 1/4 mile







There 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).

Answer 3

The TL 1/4 mile time is 15.1 at 93. 4mph,

the touareg v8 15.7 at 89 mph. Not to mention this is for a TL 5spd automatic. ;)



6spd MT TL wouldn't let the VW by.



TL 0-60 MT 5.8 sec

VW - 8.0 sec

Answer 4

Kobe Bryant averaged 23.1 ppg against the Cavs, while LeBron averaged 26.8 ppg against the Lakers. This means that LeBron does most of the work for the Cavs. The Cavs bench is weaker and the Cavs just win because of LeBron. If LeBron was injured during the 2009 season, the Cavs would of gotten less than 40 wins. If Kobe was injured in the 2009 season, the Lakers would have less than 50 wins this season. But you see, it's not about the individual progress, but the team progress. edit: @ J, I said "if"
