Acura TL horsepower/torque specs

Does anyone know the actual amount of horsepower and torque a 2G and 3G TL/TLS actually puts down to the wheels? I'd like numbers for both 5AT/6SM for each generation and model of car. I guess for the 2G 6SM specs, that would be the CL-S.

Thanks

2G: TL-S: about 200whp/180wtq (from members on Azine)
2G: CL-S: about 220whp/190wtq (from members on Azine)
3G: TL 5AT: about 212whp/190wtq (from TOV)
3G: TL 6MT: about 222whp/200wtq (from TOV, under non-ideal condition)
3G: TL-S 5AT: about 240whp/220wtq (actually not sure about the torque, from members on Azine)
3G: TL-S 6MT: about 253whp/229wtq (from TOV).

hopefully i didn't miss anything

FYI . . . your mileage (results) will vary from car to car. In regard to the 2G TL-S and CL-S, they are fairly equal. We did a dyno some years ago that included base models and Type S models and there was a range with no one model (CL or TL) showing consistently better results. And by the way, the lowest result for the Type S' was produced by a CL-S.

Mine was stock for this test and produced a dismal 192HP and 176tq . . it was a hot day, so I don't know what that would have changed. Also, in this stock form I ran 14.76 at the track . . . so this is a good example for folks not to put too much into what someone's results are and compare that to someone with another car that produced better dyno results. In other words, a TL-S with less HP can't beat a G35 with more HP . . . it's not that simple.
