Looks good, extra 50 approximately from the last version, what you guys think?

What car or cars do you think it will be compared most to?

 

The last 3.2TL was either 240 or 260HP. Your saying that they added 50HP? How the hizzle did they add 50HP. If true, this car is a high 13 sec car with 300HP. Watch out for moms off to the market.....

 

my sisters 03' 3.2 TL is about 225hp, I'm not sure about the 03-S

 

why did you make two threads that are exactly the same :

 

Base TL was 220HP. Type-S was 260. Therefore, since there's no Type-S yet for the new TL, 270HP is 50HP above the old base model.

 

We really need a 310 HP front drive sedan

 

It would now need to be AWD, FF si to taxing

 

I read on the TL forums, that after the RL comes out, the next car to come out in AWD will be the TL. I think for 06 or 07.

 

I've seen some dyno charts with that TL and its only running around 210hp at the wheels give or take a few. I think honda ovverated the output on that motor. By the way, it doesnt need AWD, not yet at least, very little torque steer.

 

The 2004-2005 Acura TL has 270hp. You guys can ask me anything, Im the honda guy on this website

 

Nope, the TL is running near 230hp to the wheels. A lot of the TL guys are complaining about a lot of torque steer, especially on the 6MT's.

 

Relative to other high HP FF cars, the TL's torque steer isn't bad... but it's definitely there and definitely an annoyance. I don't know why Honda doesn't invest in a good FR platform.

 

I think they maxed out the FF sedan,, to much power in a FF car is too taxing, you are asaking way to much for the Front Wheels to do, you know?

 

Agreed. 230-240 is the most you can really put to the front without some serious compromises.
