BTW, what do you mean you can't get it to go past 115 mph? Does your car stop pulling after 115 or does it just stay at 115 and not go any further (kind of like stalling at 115)? If that's the case, I would take it back to the dealer to get it checked out.
Good luck!

Well not getting the car past 115 really doesn't bother me its the part where I know something is wrong, so today the TLS is spending its first day at the dealer repair, lets see how long it takes before I get it back. In the mean time I am enjoying another TLS that is on "loan" until mines done. lol and yes this one can go faster then 115 by far. And no I didn't walk into the dealership and tell them that I couldn't get the car past 115. I'll have to do alittle test when I get it back and give you my results.

I was driving 125.....and on 5th...it took forever to pull....it's like not moving up at all....then i shift to 4th..it pulled hard...and took me fast to 138...and kept on going..but i slowed down..

Here is my pic of GPS receiver taken on a trip from Denver to San Francisco:
Acura was showing 142 mph at this point versus 135.3mph on gps, so there is about 6 mph speedo error
Accomplished here:
I had 3 passengers in the car and had to slow down as passengers in the back got scared
TL was still pulling.

No problem, just give me a holla. But let's wait until I get my headers. In the meantime we can go cruising in your ride.
