Acura TL TYPE S 5AT TOP SPEED ADD 1.3% to SPEEDO

[feedasheep]

Yeah, I have a 2004 tl and I hit 150. And I slowed down after that. The car didn't slow me down.

Yea that sux, Newer TL models have a limiter that wont let you pass ~130.

My 04 TL auto did 150 and i couldnt go anymore, the car was shaking.. lol

@Chyi2990 hey how does turning traction control off work in racing? can u tell me a bit plz?

[Chyi2990]

@JETSTA916 Well in my TL there is a button called "VSA," it stands for vehicle stability assist and it's just like traction.

Turning traction control off allows the power of the car to be at it's fullest without any type of ecu management controlling it. But then when too much power is at the wheels, you lose grip, and losing grip is never good in racing because you lose that much time in the race.

[Chyi2990]

@JETSTA916 Turning traction control on will let certain amount of power go to the wheels, which will not cause wheel spin but in turn, you lose power. Having traction control off is usually better in certain type of races like drag races.

good run but my 2001 CL Type S pushed flat out at 158... I didnt hit limiter and I was slightly on a decline with the wind at my back.

I have an 05 TL ,driving without tiptronic and reached 142...

[BlazinChikn23]

now imagine a RWD Acura ... oohh man how fast it would goo

[Audioholics]

the 07/08 Auto Type S is governed to 130ish. Kinda sucks since I had an 05 TL that could do 150's. In reality I never came close to those speeds and I like the fact that my car insurance went down with the Type S likely for this very reason.

5spd auto=13omph....6spd manual=150

[fwoodman]
