Racing Modified TL

Thought this car might interest you guys since I dont see many racing modified TLs out there. I guess it competed last weekend at the Pikes Peak Hill Climb event. Pics are from acuraconnected.com

Awesome. Love to see video.

But it f*cking has chrome trim. Who races up Pikes Peak with chrome accents.

The shield and rear trim weren't even touched. Put your finger over the new "puffy shield" in pic 3 and it's so much better - could be white or black. Funny pic 4 it all does look blacked out.

It also looks like a leftover '11 recapped with '12 bumpers & grille because the door handle tops are chrome and they kept the old chrome front and rear light housings....hmmm

Lol right as the video cut out the car sounded like it farted. Seems pretty cool to me though, nice to see someone is putting that awd system to the test.

Can a TL go fast enough to make sure of a wing that size?

^^^

more than fast its the lightweight characteristics of the car...

I drive a gutted TL and I wish I had some downforce....on the highway going 100+ it seems like the rear is gonna take off....

I actually felt a huge difference when I was carrying a workbench in the gutted trunk, the rear seemed soooo planted....loved the feeling....

if I ever turn my TL into a track car, first mod will be rear WING

This is a 2013-I think it is a big improvement from the 2009-2012's.

The beak is why i bought a TL. Don't see any 4G around here unless it's an old person driving one.
