Hey guys I know this is a nooby question that has probably been answered 1,000 times but I haven't been able to find the answer in FAQ. I always see that non-Type-S models are referred to as TL-P's...like my 1999 MBP. What does the P mean?

 

POWER@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! j/k

I think its premium? maybe

 

It doesn't mean anything, it's just TL-Pee.













yeah its premium

 

Pissed off because you didnt get a type-s

 

^. They didnt have a type S model out the time my car was purchased.

 

Premium.

 

 

mine either. but look now

 

your right, it has been asked a million times... and it wasnt used to describe the cars from 99-01 anyways b/c it was the only model...

so your 99 technically is just a TL.... not that the other ones had a P badge or anything either though.

 

Pansie, pussy, poor, pathetic, powerless, pimp

jk. its premium but we say P to all the non S owners. makes it easier instead of writing 99-01 tl and 02-03 tl premium. P pretty much covers it all

 

powerless

 

pwnage

 

care to wager?

 

i don't think you count anymore

hopefully by around spring break i won't either

 

 

Tell that to mine which ran faster 1/4 than most of you with type-s's do

And im not talking about the 6 speed conversion either which is in the 13s

 

 

 

i also remember the 99-01 TL-p being lighter

 

at this thread.

 

How fast were you on the 1/4 mile without the 6spd swap?

 

i think he said low 15s high 14s somewhere

 

 

My best was in the 14s (14.79) with just a K&N filter and comptech axle back mufflers.

 

^ dang any tips for the owners of "pees"

 

can't we all be friends :gheyhug:

That said I'd rather have a 6MT TL-P than a 5AT TL-S

 

It takes time to learn, weather, making sure car is optimal shape, gate shifting, learning how to launch good tires, etc.... every thing helps.

 

Lmfao to some of the answers

 

you'd be surprised lol

 

IT SHOULD BE TL G-P

TL GETS PUSSY

 

MBP stands for monteray blue pearl.

TL-P stands for Probably should of got a type s

 

Except for those that actually bought the car new back in 99-01 before the S was even made

 

^touche

 

i dont know why people diss on the "tl-P" i like my car

 

Probably should have waited

 

than might as well have waited for the 04+ tl;s

 

too much fancy electronics for my liking. 07/08 had the tls. should have just saved up and bought a sports car.

 

I am not a racer i am a chiller

 

Had i known the CTS-V was going to be supercharged and 556 hp back in 99 when i started looking at cars i may have waited till 2009 to purchase my car

 

you guys are all wrong. the "P" means "Put some money in the bank now b/c you'll need it later for a new tranny"
