Just curious of the outcome. I test drove a TL-S two different times. It didnt really seem any faster than my TL-P at first. To me there was only a cubtle difference in power. It just felt like it revved a little easier. But then I was getting on the freeway and right where my car usually runs out of juice in 2nd and shifts to third, the TL-S just kept going momentarily. Then I noticed that the TL-S had ~1000rpm of breathe.

For those who have raced a TL-P how close was it. Did you pull primarily off the line or deep into your gear. Or did you pull fairly consistantly at all speeds.

I test drove both and the TL-S was faster early, middle and late in acceleration.

I had a little race with a TLP couple of nights ago. On a green light, I was able to pull right ahead of him. He got scared and just slow down.

I wouldn't call that a race. Our cars are like brothers to the TL-P. Let's just said the TL-P had no match against our car.

Is that it? All talk and no show. haha j/k.

Never cannibalize your brethren!

I will race any of you TL-S anyday....

BlackShadow

LOL!

Hmmm...Maybe I should of posted in the TL-P forum: "Has anyone raced a TL-S?" Maybe the big bad TL-S people are ashamed of the outcome. j/k
Seriously, I am asking because I thought the power difference was there but I didnt think it was substantial.

After I am done with you Joey, you will feel like ----> ---> ----> hahaha!!!

Hey I didn't say I would win..with my heavy TL...I just said I would race anyone who wants to race...that's all..but in a safe environment...

I just found this post.



Well like i have been saying all these times, the CLP/TLP aint too much slower in some way.... Especially when a TLP/CLP have some mods.... Even a CAI, and pulleys would be able to pull really close or same as a TypeS..... Some way as in 0-60, 1/4, both car are not that much of a differnet.

First of all, the TypeS are only 35hps more than P, but the car is 3500lbs, so therefore the diff won't be too great..... If 35hps on a 2500lbs car, then thats a different story.. Also TypeS is a little heavier, like 100lbs, thats already 1 human's weight...... Therefore TLP/CLP Vs. TLS/CLS in 0-60 or 1/4 will NOT make too much different while the P have some mods(without header).....

I raced with my friends TLS from 0-60, his car is stock. we ran 6 times, I won 5, so there you get the idea....

Now, when it comes to highway, then its a differnet story.... The TypeS really do make great different because from the extra power plus extra torque. Normally a P even with a header, they will have hard times to keep up/pull away from a TypeS, its just really hard. So the extra power and extra torque will show it's biggest benifit on highway speed.

So I am not suprise, and you shouldnt suprise that I ran a 15.1.... BTW, I ran a 14.8 in a cold cold night in Houston Raceway Park.... I kept telling people I ran 15.1 instead of 14.8 becuase #1, people will think I BS... #2, houston weather is mostly hot and humid, so that 14.8 is not a normal driving condition, so that doesnt count.

So when you see someone pull on a TypeS, before you say BS, think about it, its nothing special. But once the P reach 105mph, which is the end of 3rd, then you will see the TypeS making show.

I just noticed that it was a 99 TL-P not even a 2000.

Being a former owner of a 2000 TL for almost 2 years, and now a TL-S owner. YES!!


TL-S is quicker than the TL-P.

Quicker on lanuch, in highay, everywhere except parked.

TL-S feels lighter and more agile because of the stiffer suspension and additional power.

The weight difference is not 100 lbs, but 53lbs according to my car insurance paper.
