I don't know if it was stock, but I would have to say there was at least some kind of intake or exhaust modification, because I have never heard a TL-S like that before.
Either way, after checking older posts on Acurazine, it sounds like the '08 TL-S owners are giving stock/near stock S2k's a run for their money. Sounds like most are pulling a car length or two on S2k's (roll race) once the MANUAL trans 2008 TL-S' hit 4th gear.
Oh well. A loss is a loss.

The new type s AWD packs 305hp, I just got my wife one and it pulls like a MF on the S 
She has also schooled a 05 g35 and an unknown year 350z and an 06 Mustang GT... The damn thing impresses.

It may be time for a Vette...lol
The funny thing is, she bought the S but couldn't learn to drive it without smoking a clutch every time she tried.
Now she thinks she is all bad ass. She doesn't even use the paddles, she just mashes the pedal

2008 TL Type-S has a 3.5L SOHC V-6 equipped with Honda's VTEC variable valve timing system. The V-6 has an output of 286 hp and 256 lb-ft, Front wheel drive.
2009 TL SH-AWD 3.7-liter V-6 SH-AWD, based, VTEC variable timing on the intake and exhaust valves (a first for a SOHC engine) that kicks out 305 horsepower at 6300 rpm and 275 pound-feet of torque at 5000.
Money on the new tl-sh-awd with 305 hp.
