Fastest Acura TL

I'm just wondering how fast these cars could go (maybe low 14's/high13's?) with a ton of mods. There doesnt appear to be many modded 1/4 mile times i can find on the net.

Welcome!

Here ya go: Do Headers, CAI, Crank Pulley, Low temp thermostat &fan switch, lite wheels and then get either a turbo, supercharger or nitrous. With the car as light as possible (no system or spare tire etc) on a cool day you are there. Of course the 6 speed type-S cars are your best bet.

What 6 speed type-S cars are you talking about? Aren't any TL's.

Yeah, but the question was about a TL. Was the CL manual a 5 or 6 speed? Couldn't remember and am too lazy to look it up at the current moment.

He asked how fast can THESE cars go...so I believe he means CL's and TL's. If he only means TL's I'm sure he can figure it out.

Um, well, the TITLE of this thread is "Fastest Acura TL." So I would suppose he only meant TL's, call me crazy.

I run 13.8's consistantly with my car. I've seen one guy here thats .2 faster with a blower and a ton of mods. I don't come here often, maybe there are some others that are also in the 13's by now.

Not without an ungodly amount of money.

The TL is an exceptionally poor choice of vehicles if your looking to make a 12 second ride. Heavy front wheel drive cars were never designed to win any races. If you want a fast car, go buy one.

hahahaha... yea we can also add a jet engine too I guess! But not everyone is as daring as you!!!! I was just looking at your car the other day on your webpage... one day when I'm in QC I definately want to check it out.


As for a fast TL... I think mine gets slower every day. I suppose I should take it in for a tune up one of these days.
