My '99 Z28 Camaro hasn't suffered ANY of the problems that your ~ $35K TL has suffered!
#44
By "please explain", HD means put up a bunch of links that you don't understand yourself.
#45
Alrighty, here we go. Something for me to do at work. It's HD vs. the world, round 89.

I still don't understand why he's here, though, in the first place. He doesn't seem to like us, he doesn't own a TL, and we don't seem to like him.
The last thing I'd want to spend my time doing is hanging out in, for instance, a Camaro forum just being a prick to everyone. But to each his own.

I guess I both agree and disagree. Yes, the Chrysler is competitive. The act of placing TL in the thread's title was deceptive though, since his posted comparison had nothing to do with TLs. Instead, he compared present day Chrysler offerings with 60s vintage products. IMO, a thread with the sole intent of comparing Chyslers to Chryslers is OT in a Gen3 TL forum. In any case, hijacking his own thread still cracks me up.

The current hemi started life in the Ram 2500 ( A TRUCK). I'm not talking ancient history other than Mopar crate engines. Secondly, from Chrysler's own numbers, they quote 0-60 at 6.2 sec. The TL 3.2 MT6 was tested by several mags at 5.8 sec. and I don't have to turn cylinders off to get good gas mileage either. In the TRUCK, it's rated at 12 MPG city without turning off cylinders. You know the last engine that did that and what happened to it - can anyone say Caty V-8-6-4. Thirdly, unless a miricle happened at Chrysler, their build quality can't touch Acura. I have a 2000 Dodge Dakota with 30,000 miles on it sitting in front of my house they may have to tow to the dealer to prove that. And lastly - the current engine is more of a Semi-Hemi - not a true complete Hemi.

The V-*-6-4 was more than two decades ago; on-board computers (and the engine control permitted by them) barely existed then. In fact, Chrysler's cylinder deactivation is very similar in operation to Acura's V-Tec (sliding pin controlling valve lift).
You speak of Acura's "superior build quality," yet this forum is LOADED with complaints concerning POOR QUALITY CONTROL!
The new heads are superior to the old ("true hemi") heads in that they impart far more swirl in the combustion chamber @ lower RPMS. Have you SEEN the flow numbers for the new HEMI heads? Their potential is huge.

But what I do see when I go to my Acura dealer buying accessories, are LINES OUT INTO THE STREETS at the Lincoln and Chevy dealers...lines of cars, most without plates yet, back for service. Meanwhile, my local Acura service department is like a ghost town as is the Infiniti dealer across the street and Lexus around the corner.

This is off topic but so is the whole topic..
But as far as overall service throughout the years...
I've owned Acura vehicles since 1998, 3 of them, and I've always been able to call same day, and fit a car in for maintenance unless it was a major evolution. Everytime I bring the car in, I pull in, they take my car, I wait. No lines, like the Mitsubishi dealer I was at the other day to help my friend bring in her Montero Sport, it was like a circus.
MOst of the people ahead of me or behind are getting routine service.
And, really, most things in the Acuras I've owned that came up were minor, and I took them because, heck, they are under warranty, thats what the warranty is for.
My theory is that they are so nice and friendly, and so ready to give perks etc at other service locations, is that if they don't their will literally be a revolt at the dealership!!! haha.
Overall, IMHO, superior build quality.

"Lines of cars?" :lol2:
The headliner on my '99 Z28 is still where the factory intended it to be. My exhaust didn't rust within weeks of picking up the car, either. Additionally, the tires that came with my car were fine and didn't require immediate replacement via a manufacturer's recall/TSB.
How were the lines @ the local Buick dealership back in the 80's, where your turbo-regal was built? :think:

And many TSBs do nothing more than introduce vehicle specific procedures for ROUTINE maintenance issues that weren't originally/properly addressed in the service manual.
NSX levels of performance for ~ 1/4 the $$$....

You'd know that if you ever read any.
EXAMPLES:
"Component Description:
17. STRUCTURE:BODY:ROOF AND PILLARS NHTSA Number: 269545
Bulletin Number: 052802
Bulletin Date: MAY 2002
SERVICE MANUAL ADVISES INCORRECT USAGE OF CONVERTIBLE TOP FLUID."
Component Description:
39. POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:TORQUE CONVERTER NHTSA Number: 247161
Bulletin Number: 010730007
THIS BULLETIN IS TO INFORM DEALERS OF THE RELEASE OF A NEW TORQUE CONVERTER BOLT FOR CERTAIN TRANSMISSIONS.
When's Acura going to build a car that yields NSX levels of performance for ~ $22K?
GM did that way back in '98 (with the 1LE/LS1 F-bodies). And they even got BETTER MILEAGE and provided seating for 4 (in a pinch) and a LOT more cargo space.

For the first year, I think the new TL is doing pretty well problem-wise.

Let's not forget your copied marvelous cotton filter experiments, where the experiments you hail about had ZERO environmental controls, measured color as the key of filtering performance and only tested them for 500 miles.
You are an idiot and get OWNED here on a daily basis...EVERYONE laughs at you.

My Contour is actually running very well, as it always did when I owned it, for the person who bought it.

And with aluminum heads you went from asking for high compression alum heads; showed you. Then you demanded they run on pump gas; showed you. Proven wrong yet again, you demanded they be otto cycle engines only; showed you. After completely being made a fool of, you then idiodically demand that the application be a SBC, V6 Buick (non-turbo of course) or other ancient iron block motor with the planets aligned, tides high, dog & cats living together blah blah blah.
Let's not forget your copied marvelous cotton filter experiments, where the experiments you hail about had ZERO environmental controls, measured color as the key of filtering performance and only tested them for 500 miles.
You are an idiot and get OWNED here on a daily basis...EVERYONE laughs at you.
People, including myself, PROVE you wrong day after day, time after time and you just go right on as if it didn't happen...off on another tangent.

Octane for Octane and head configuration to head configuration, aluminum allows for a ~ 0.5:1 increase in STATIC compression, which results in THE SAME dynamic compression ratio due to aluminum superior heat transfer.
I never once attributed "V" to velocity in the perfect gas law.
I said that as V (VELOCITY) drops, PRESSURE rises. That has nothing to do with the prefect gas law and I never once claimed that it did.

No, you attributed V to velocity in the Combined Gas Law and it was a hoot.
You obviously weren't an engineering major...but you obviously have experience in Revisionist History. Of course no mention of the WS6 articles, instead going to 170MPH motorcycles and 300MPH airplanes. You mulletheads are too funny.
Another lame 1LE thread brought to you by CTRL+C and CTRL+P.

The Combined Gas Law doesn't have a damn thing to do with RAM AIR and why pressure rises as velocity falls.
V is VELOCITY in the Bernoulli Equation (where P is pressure).
AND:
http://www.sportrider.com/tech/146_9508_ram/
"The maximum pressure we were able to generate on the dyno was approximately 30mb, which gave a peak of 131 bhp from a ZX-9R as compared to the 123 bhp measured at rest. In other words, each 10mb increase in inlet pressure is worth approximately 2.6 bhp [2.1% of nominal peak HP] at peak on a derestricted 9R."

It's VELOCITY
Pressure 1 * Velocity 1 = Pressure 2 * Velocity 2
And on the dyno they used a blower to get that whopping .435113 PSI.
