"those damn mustangs are everywhere", now take a wild guess why and then think why how do eight american cylinders beat 12 german, well at least back then, plus mustangs sound way better and I am not even a fan of fords

The TL is a good car all around, but in the end of the day its still a 4 door family sport sedan. You can't pull much more power from these engines unless you go F.I. and still it's not that much. If you want something quicker get something like an STI or Evo a simple tune can get more then all the bolt on for the tl. TL is more of a cruiser that has a bit of move to it, but with sedan's today hit 300+, you need all that just to keep up.
Something else you could do is losing some weight like spare, tools, carpet, etc...

ya i realized that a lot of people have told me that but im doing some bolt ons this is going to be a nice toy for me right now im probably going to end up getting something more meant for hard tuning later but all i care about this car is that it responds and accelerate a little bit quicker than what it does now so im not worried

mustangs are everywhere because they are cheap to buy second hand because there worth nothing and then they are super easy to load up with mods thats why they are everywhere mustangs have no class and are good only for quarter mile drag races show it a corner and it will suck even our acuras dicks i dont really care about the bmw v12 but its the prestige and how rare it is that exites me our tls are quicker than those bmw but thats not the point haha

If you want a 320hp+ luxury sport sedan sell the TL-S and get a 04-up Audi S4 4.2 V8. The S4 4.2 is rated at 340hp stock and the motor has a mean humming sound plus its all wheel drive. The prices have plummeted on them so you can get one with lower miles for a good price or get a 03 BMW M3 there 333hp and I have seen some pretty cheap ones lately. I wouldn't invest all that money to get the horsepower your looking for plus you will always have problems with it. The more engine work you do to it the more parts start to fail. It would be a lot cheaper to get a S4 or M3 and there better cars to begin with.

i actually agree, coil overs and under body bracing will beat our cars in handling, when applied to a gt, a super charger and different intake will blow our cars off the road, even the nsx, plus the wheels on the back spin! how great is that?

Ok im going to say it again and i hope that people read this before sending me another message 1. I hate mustangs i have never seen one take a corner properly and there is no way a american muscles car shows more class than a former top of the line BMW not a chance now i dont need to hear it from anyone anymore because my thoughts are not going to change about that
and 2. as for the power if people would read a little bit i realized that the 320-360 BHP in the little acura is not really possible so i have mansioned that all im looking for is to upgrade it a little bit so it reacts and responds and goes a little bit faster than what it has now as of right now im not even looking for horsepower rating i found my mods thanks to you guys and i will be puting them on soon and then that will be it for that car
now can we talk more mods before the administrator shuts this thread down because we are way of topic thanks

Mustangs are great cars, you get a lot of car for the money. Mustang with some upgrades can surly hang in the corners, hell they can even drift just look at team falken's mustang. The only grip i have is the interior imo and that they are everywhere. But i can appreciate them for what they are.

Whatever you guys do what yall want il stick to my tl rather than getting a mustang like everyone else you guys keep talking about how good it is il talk when we start talking mods
#147
That nsx would cost a whole bunch more then the falken mustang. If we are playing a game of i rather have this then that. Then i rather have a Ferrari 430 scuderia, Porsche gt3 rs, audi r8, and so on.
If someone handed me the keys to a new 5.0 Mustang or Shelby mustang, i don't think i would want to hang on to the tl.

to each his own, but once you discover how unreliable our auto trannys are (trust me you will), you might be singing another tune. id keep my TL if it had a 6-speed manual, but if someone handed me the keys to a mustang right now, id take it over my TL.

nice car but my buddy who used to work for mazda told me that he has never seen a bigger deman for replacement engines for this car but i kindof think he is strange so dont believe him but you know how cheap you can find cars like this in japan you can get things like that, skylines, supras lol BMW 850i lol for really cheap and to get them shipped to vancouver or the states it only costs about 1k so lol if you really want one its not to far to get one haha
#153
Lol my mechanic does that. He imports tuned shit from Japan and sells it in Canada or the U.S. It's a treat every time i come. The guy always has something new and interesting. One day ill take some pic's n show u guys wat's up.
Oh yea, BMW flagship sportscar vs. Mustang. Lol, thats a no brainer.

There is nothing wrong with the stock motor for the rx7, however you would not be intelligent putting a stock motor back in there when the 20b is easily available or any ls1 2 or 7
I don't know how old your mechanic is but, they stopped producing this car in 94 / 95. Also, having a skyline in the western hemisphere is a no no. You'd have to register it as a kit car as skylines were never produced here.

ok. so lemme get this straight..
u come in here asking about mods for a car because you are uneducated on how to create more power. (if you were, you wouldnt need the thread)
strike one
THEN, you say money is not an "option" which is stupid within itself. but we knew that you meant you had a lot of money...
WRONG, you said u needed a check. strike two
Then you try and convince us that an old ass BMW can outhandle a mustang, which is a very well balanced car and superior to anything you have mentioned.
strike three
