You, of all people, should know quartermile runs are not all about horsepower. you dont need horsepower like that in quartmile. you need torque, and the RL doesn't have Ubob gobs of torque (about 270ftlbs) and it also weighs 3940 lbs with driver with AWD that transfers power to more wheels. and more drivetrain loss..

15.2 is damn good for that car fully loaded as it is. let us not forget that it DOES handle much better than just about everything in it's class.

i'd be willing to put money on it being a mid 14second car if acura had thrown the 6spd in it.
