If you bought the A-spec TL you're either a MULTI-millionaire or an idiot (but probably not both).

LOL!
1) I don't believe you have an Accord. Post the invoice for it, as well as a photo of yourself next to it.
2) I don't believe you can afford these cars. Post a copy of your bank statement and brokerage account.

You guys are all idiots. Why don't you just ignore this fool? He causes the same problems at other forums. If enough of his threads go unanswered, he'll probably stop posting. If not, at the very least, his threads will disappear quickly and stop getting kicked up to the top. Why perpetuate this nonsense

But the TL IS an overweight Accord.
How much RWHP did STOCK L78 396s make again?
Remember that you're in an Acura forum, people who buy Acura don't go to Chevy dealers to look at Malibu's or Cavaliers and people who buy NSX's don't look at chevy either, then try comparing that car of yours that you bow to as God to cars that it was meant to be compared too. Idjit.

This is ok, it's still there, read it a few more times and let each word sink in slowly, if after that you still don't get it, read it again and again until you understand what was being said. Then remember that this isn't 1969 or 1972 anymore and that Chevy doesn't make that POS anymore.

In reality, it would be hard pressed to match the output of the Chevy Trailblazer's bone stock, 4.2 liter DOHC I6.:wow:
And "apples to apples" (~ 3,250 Corvettes):
335 RWHP looks like THIS:

I don't care WHAT you believe.
You wouldn't be banned from every forum you go to if you weren't trying to prove how you just don't get it, or how smart you think you are yet everybody else doesn't get you.
If you're anything like this in life, my sympathies goes out to the people you drive nuts on a daily basis.

The L78 never made "335" RWHP in anything that remotely resembled "stock" form...

'01 Z06 (385 SAE NET HP): 9.5 seconds
"425 HP" 396: 12.5 seconds
The '01 Z06 (385 SAE NET HP) cuts out 3 full seconds (relative to the "425 HP" car) during that 70 MPH interval alone! That's ~ 400 feet (~ 133 YARDS) @ those types of speeds.:wow:
That Z06 would have UNDOUBTEDLY have been rated @ 500 plus HP under the old SAE GROSS system.:wow:

...but you said that the L78 396 produced "335 RWHP" in stock form.
Ok I give, you're like a broken record who won't get it if I engraved it into your forhead and glued a mirror in front of your face.
The only thing you've done is make people who didn't care one way or another about the Camaro start to hate it because you're so arrogant and ignorant.
I'm done with you and this thread child.

Why does he repeatedly post scanned old articles of the camaro/corvette in a TL forum?
He should be banned just for wasting server space like that.
