But seriously I have my sites set on a Conv. Vette, but it just ain't in the cards right now, and especially not a classic like that beauty.
What would that go for when you turn it?

Lokius, why not the corvette z06 instead of the shellby cobra? Since your family is a big fan of corvettes, I would think you guys would go for the z06 instead....
Even if the shelby even it doesnt look like the concept car, it will be a great car. And we dont have a problem putting an extra $5 or $10k in modifications to make it look and drive the way we want.

You're making me cry.. 
I want a Vette so bad....
I look like something out of the EXORCIST everytime one passes by me.
Yesterday i was driving down the street in the TL, feeling good, then all of a sudden a Brand New Vette pulls up next to me.
All of a sudden I didn't feel so hot.
It's all good though I didn't pay 55K+ .

Yesterday i was driving along enjoying my ride when a Blue Lamborghini Gallardo pulled up next to me... and then on the freeway a Light blue Lamborghini Murcielago passed me by, then shortly followed by a Silver Ferrari 360 Spyder.....
....I want money....

I'm sure they would've played...then they could post a thread in the Lambo forum about how some TL tried to race them...just like we post threads about how some Tiburon tried to race us. 
Personally, I'd have gone for it with a big ol' grin on my face as I saw nothing but tail lights!

I bet they're thinking..."he's lost his f*ckin mind" when they look at me.
I had some fool in a 325 BMW pull up on me on the freeway and give me the look as he pulled away.
So I had no choice I had to catch up to um and pull right in front of em.
After that he got kinda bothered cuz he couldn't pass me again.
What was he thinking? It's not like he was in a 550i (360HP), so now whenever I feel bad about the Vette or any other car like that passing me.
I think "Well at least i didn't pay 50K for a BMW 530 that only has 255 HP.

When a Murcielago passes by you and if you try to race it, you're basically making a fool out of yourself and for folks who owns Acura TLs. It's in the same aspect as a person who's walking suddenly sees your TL and starts running to race you.

When I have more money saved up Then I ended up with a Suburban LT. It packs some punch, but no agility whatsoever.
I bought this TL for my wife but she isn't into the performance aspect she just likes the looks.
We also have a 94 Integra which my son will be driving.
Best thing is though they are all "Paid In Full".
So yes I will have my Vette.. oh yes I will have one.
I think I am leaning towards a Silver one though. (easy maintenance)
Like you i am waiting unitl I can really afford it and still be comfortable.
If you think your paying alot at the pumps now, imagine with the Vette...Z06 mind you.
good luck..maybe in the future we will be chatting on a Vette Forum.

Yeah but I got a lead foot..
and I was reffering to the Z06 400hp model that mainevent wants.
nevertheless I want one and you are right it is pretty good for an 8.
Your dad's is it Conv.?
Look at us we have totally hijacked this thread.
Oh well Lokius started it with the pics of that Vette& T-bird

I don't think Lokius minds it, his family is into vettes anyway. Yellow vettes are the shit, too bad the z06 won't come in convertible or at least for 2006. a Hot blonde in a yellow vette, now that's a sight for sore eyes.

i gotta admit though.. that vette looks pretty slick.
and for the record... no i wasn't trying to race the Lambo's or Ferrari. they just so happened to be going faster than me on the freeway.

Nah, Its not a convertable. he is like me. He says that Convertables are not good for track racing. My dad is into modding just like I am. He already has an exhaust(Header back) and an intake and the thing is only a month old.

Hey Lokius where did you order your AEM CAI and how much did it cost if you dont mind telling?
**Update Time**
My sun hyperground voltage system and the sun grounding kit have been installed. I purchased the wiring for the grounding kit in blue, and the voltage kit box is silver. Install wasn't too bad, did it myself with a buddy. As far as performance still early to tell, I will have a review with pictures by tomorrow. Ignition is definently easier, and the car feels a tiny bit stronger at the 2-3k rpm range, nothing like the difference I felt with the AEM intake.
My brakes will probably be on the car around November. I should recieve them in the next week or two, and then I have to go about the install on them.
Exhaust should be on there by the end of next week. I almost went with the Greddy Evo2 stainless steel exhaust that they use for the Acura CL, but decided against it. I am going with two magnflow stainless steel polished mufflers, part #14362, I am also having the center mid muffler removed, and having straight stainless piping going from the resonator to the two magnaflow mufflers. My OEM tips will be reused, and pushed out about one inch. They may be black chromed as well.
Tonight, and I seriously mean tonight, I will post about 20 pictures of the car on the Oregon Coast trip, showing some scenery and the new front bumper and everything else that has gone onto the car. Stay posted for more updates.
After the exhaust and big brakes for the front, I might be doing a BBK for the rear or some rotors at the least. I am definently painting the front grille trim WDP and the center bar, and painting the Acura symbol and innards black. That's everything I have planned for this vehicle.

The AEM sticker will probably go when I sit down and detail the hell out of the car. I have some pictures coming of the voltage/grounding kit as well as some pictures of my vinyl acura text on the front bumper.
I ordered my exhaust today as well! I paid $147 for two stainless steel polished magnaflow mufflers, I was pretty happy the local guy wanted to charge me $175 a piece, I saved a shitload of cash. Expect to see exhaust next week, I will have time Monday or Tuesday to do it.
More Pictures will be uploaded whenever I get time

Dam your WDP TL is looking better each time I come by this thread. Keep up the awesome work on your car. Looks Hot now. Love the perfect lowering job as you eliminated all 4gaps which makes the TL stands more agressive and really sporty. Keep posting those awesome pics.
