Great shot James!
On another note.....Got pulled over again for no front plate. This time I was just leaving my shop to go pic a car up from Les Schwab. No ticket since I had the bracket in hand and I told him it was off for the sittin pretty car show this last weekend. that cop was cool.
Yes.....the stupid ugly freakin piece of crap front plate is back on!!! sheeesh! If they would only concentrate that hard on the crystal meth problem around here they might get some done.

286hp.
Not much of an upgrade. And they're using the 3.5 thats in the RL and still won't be over 300hp. Kinda sucks if you ask me.

The type-S is going for the euro look. AMG cars have QUAD exhaust. The wheels look super ricey. Got 
?

Acura is too afraid of breaking the 300 barrier!

The current model TL has 258 hp. So the 286 hp of the Type-S is quite the upgrade. Also.... how many dollars does it take to unleash the potential of our engines? About $300 bucks... $600 bucks..... $1500 bucks....
I'm down to spend a couple of bucks on a few Comptech parts to let the new Type-S breathe properly. Then lets see the haters stack up!
Who's first?

The quote below I copied from Acura's website. I pulled up the 2006 TL specs....
* For 2006, Acura is complying with the new SAE standard for measuring horsepower and torque. This new method slightly reduces a vehicle's horsepower rating and torque due to more stringent testing procedures.
So there is actually about a 30hp gap. And about 30ft/lbs of torque diff. That's alot!

They claim the TSX has 205hp. Wut ever dude! My baseline dyno came in at a whopping 154whp. That's 25% less than advertised. Someone should be shot for false advertisement
