Why would you want to TT an acura TL? The thing has traction problems stock!

well if your plannin on spending all this money, why not just buy a gst or gsx? itll be a lot cheaper/easier to mod and youll save money in the long run too

if you are going to build this motor you are in for a long haul a FULLY BUILT 420a will only put down about 170-180whp, and we are talking 4000 worth of fully built. 1mm oversized valves, 3-5 angle valve job, titanium springs, cams, raised compression pistons (10.5:1 or something) could stroke it, and much much more. The twin turbo acura TL is coming out in 08 i think. i saw it in Car and Driver magazine about 2 months ago. Sebba, i can't believe that you just went there lol traction? in this case, what's the point in having 400-500 whp in a gs-t? lol

Im alittle doubtful of this. I dont see what they would gain in making a TL TT. But if they do, its gonna be FWD?? Pretty gay to me
