Sorry, dumb question, but what is the difference in a TL-P? I keep seeing these terms, but don't understand (brand new tl owner here).

 

DO A SEARCH...but...


TL Type-S is the hot one. It provides 260 horsepower as opposed to the TL-P's 225 horsepower, with the extra power coming from a higher compression ratio, a two-stage induction system, a larger throttle body (with no decrease in gas mileage), free-flowing exhaust, high-performance intake valves and camshafts, and modified variable valve (VTEC) timing. Type S also comes with an increased steering ratio and a firmer suspension, thanks to stiffer shocks, a slightly larger rear stabilizer bar, and 17-inch alloy wheels with Michelin P215/50R17 high-performance tires.
Notably, the Type-S comes standard with Acura's Vehicle Stability Assist, an electronic stability program that uses anti-lock braking and traction control to keep the car from sliding. Yaw, lateral g, speed and steering sensors all provide input, and the throttle and brakes are automatically reduced or applied as needed.

The Type S also has perforated leather seats, a cool shift knob, and sporty "A" shaped head rests.

 

Jesus, and thank you. I did a search, but I guess I couldn't find the right keyword to get a thread that explained it.

 

 

the TL-P stands for Premimun

 

oh, ok.

 

The Type-S was only available in 02-03. All the other TL's from 99-01 are all TL-P
