A TL-P is faster than a TL-S...
When you have three of your fattest friends with you in the car. I was just driving at about 2 in the morning last night with my friends. Here's the rundown: my 250-pound friend Neil was in the frontseat, and my two 300-pound friends were in the backseat. Excluding me, my rims, and my system, that's 850 pounds of extra weight. The rims were even rubbing a little with those two in the back. The TL-P, which was a '99-'01 and looked bonestock to me, wanted to rumble. I guess he wanted to have the story of beating the almighty TL-S so he could tell all his friends. Being the knucklehead that I am but knowing I'd get crushed with the extra weight in the car, I went from light-to-light on an empty road. The TL-P walked all over me. He honestly had like 2-3 car lengths on me by the time I hit VTEC. What a pathetic display for the Type-S... now all I have to do is get him while I'm alone without the Triple Towers in the car...

With an extra 850lbs, I think I could take Matt's TL-S with my minivan.
That's a LOT of humanity for that poor TL-S to carry.

I didn't mean it as offensive to the TL-P owners, I just meant it as a joke. After this situation occurred, we could now refer to stock TL-P's as ''almighty.'' The best part was my friends saying after it happened, ''gee, I wonder why that happened, is the regular TL really that fast?'' I said, ''no fool, look at all the weight we have in the car!''
