You're as old as you feel

6.2 seconds is VERY quick dude, not too long ago anything under 7 seconds was considered a genuinely fast car.

Any car can look good with some lens work, filters and processing.

If I had a rusty Mercury Bobcat wagon, I'd do the same thing.

Also, HP numbers on these cars are never accurate. Dynos don't even tell the whole story. The 3800 V6 loves the track where its full potential can be unleashed.

07 TL S 286 hp//256 lbft

07 Accord V6 244 hp//211 lbft

98 Regal GS 240 hp//280 lbft

Must be torque + gearing + apparently the Regal has "torque management to reduce wheel spin". Motherfucker has an eLSD in a Buick. I need to go home and rethink my life.
