what Acura car is the most stable at high speeds? The RL, TL, or CL?

 

Probably CL-S because of VSA(Vehicle Stability Assist). RL has VSA also but it is not very aerodynamic while the CL-S is.

do you think the RL is more stable at high speeds than the TL? I am comparing the 2000 models.

 

VSA is not for straight-line stability, but instead keeps you from sliding off the road.

The car most stable at speed would have the best suspension, tires and aerodynamics. I'd bet it isn't the RL, and also bet dollars to doughnuts that the most stable is the Integra Type-R with its race-ready suspension.

Good work Gomez, I kinda forgot about the Type-R. I would second that opinion.

I think that the TL stock is diffintely not stable at high speeds, especially anything over 90. I don't know how the RL is, but I know that my old Legend was alot more stable on high speeds then my 2001 TL.

What I'm trying to say is comparing both the RL and TL only, what do you think is more stable at high speeds? Does anyone know what the RMP is for both cars at 80 mph?
