^ yea but it puts down 330 ft lbs of torque. and with a good intake and exhaust (headers) those numbers fly high.


but the guy obviously only knew that his car was purple and his radio was red

Nice Job rep'n the TLS Phee!!

On the other side tho, I come from muscle cars. That was my first love b4 i got the Acura and I can tell you even with big cheap rims and a bad system a good running SS will beat our cars but this guy sounds like a poser for sure! so it was prob on its last leg.

It may beat your car, but not a modded 6 speed TL-S
