    My "New" Toy!

    Well its new to me. Its an Acura TL Type-S. I can say this car is hands down the fastest car that I have personally owned. The ride is very nice compared to my Lancer and Galant. The acceleration is the part that I am still getting used to. It feels so good to just tap on the gas and have this thing take off. I am also loving the heated seats in the winter. All in all I am in love with this thing. I'm going to sale it this spring and pic up a CL Type-S though. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics.

    Nice! I was considering a TL when I was looking for a car but I'm plenty satisfied with my G =)

    Yeah I like certain things about my G. I like the size of the G over the TL. The TL still feels way too big to me. I tested a regular TL, but the Type-S won hands down. Here is a short clip I just shot of a run up to 65mph. I love the sound of the engine in this thing!! I giggle like a little school girl every time I floor it. You can hear the traction control kick in at one point in the video. I have disabled it a couple of times and it makes a big difference.

    Sorry It took so long for a me to respond, but I have been out driving this thing every place I can think of lol. The extra power is just so addictive man. I really want to get a CL this summer. Thanks all for the comments.

    If you do plan to get a CL type s, get the 6 spd in white, they are rare. thing is fast too, IHE and its holding its own against my G35.
