No its about right..a TL-P can be as fast as a TL-S or even faster...while a TL-S is fast stock...or about the same level as a TL-P with nicely moddied things. A moddied TL-S is faster than a TL-P moddied..assuming same setup.
The TL-P stock for stock can not beat a stock TL-S...The TL-S has a higher compression...do some research.

I think what intitial is referring to is what some people talk about in that tl-ps with the same mods or stock one can be faster or slower than the other. and the same with type-s's. In other words why do some cars of the same model come faster from the factory than other cars?

well, if this is really the question i will offer some thoughts.

back when i was big on the Ford forums we talked alot about the "factory freak" concept. the simple truth is, engines are built by machines for the most part, which will slip in and out of tolerance and have inherent degrees of error. overall, if you combine the tolerance and error rate for how many machines work on your car (between making parts, assembling and inspection) it's possible to have a near perfect engine or off-spec engine. not that off-spec is bad, but it may not be to the full performance that the production line was rated for.

also, i would imagine that the break in period would determine many things for the car's later years. if you don't break a car in right it most likely won't run to it's full potential or may experience premature failures.

hope this helps.

^^^ What I was gonna say.

The opposite of a factory freak would be a lemon, basically.
