The third-generation Acura TL is, NSX aside, probably the best looking Acura ever made. They really nailed the formula with that car. It has the right proportions, was built well, and offered solid performance for the time. But this one is different. Packing a fully built, Rotrex supercharged V6 up front, a manual transmission, and suspension and brakes to back it up, this is probably one of if not the fastest street driven Acura TL in the world.

As a fellow TL owner, I'm glad we can see more videos like this!
+Bailey Nguyen FUNHAUS FTW!!!!
I love Acura owning a V6 TSX myself but the way this guy drives makes me cringe. I know it's not he car but he does not drive like he owns a Honda / Acura.
Bailey Nguyen can you get 400hp? If so what mods did you have to install for the cars engine to handle the power
indeed same
Nice video brother! Checkout my Turbo J32a3 7th Gen Acccord coupe, making 560whp + on only 8psi! 😏💪🏻 NA it made 316/262 with our Stage 2 Cams.
We do all types of Performance parts (Stage 1-3 Heads, Stage 2 Cams, PnP work, PnP runners/TB/Intake, etc). Check us out on IG @ HalferLand Performance
Glad he mentioned it was tuned to 450 because it definitely didn't look like 700hp
That makes sense, I was going to say, there is NO way matt is that composed coming out of a corner on the power first time in a vehicle, one that makes '700 hp' through just the fronts, they shoulda been lit up if he was on that power setting....
And how is it 700hp when it's hitting what I presume is fuel cut at half way through the RPM range under load on this 'de-tuned' setting?
He went through the rev range lots of times.. It just has some bugs to work out which is why it struggles at some points
Yeah, right. I have a 1300hp bmw M3, but it's tuned to 450hp. My Prius is 890hp, but you might not notice because it's tuned to 250 . . .
What a load of shit. Who wants a 700hp FWD car, anyway? Apparently no one, because the one guy in the world dumb enough to claim to have one "tuned it down to 450." Even in his imaginary world of 700hp FWD Acuras, the tiny degree of reality that seeped in smacked him on the head hard enough to make him back down on his claim. Because no one wants a 700hp FWD car - not even when they are making shit up.
+sprawl nod
There are like 500 fucking Hondas on TH-cam pushing 700+.
You've never built a car if you don't understand why a car can make 700 on a dyno pull and be detuned for reliability.

Good for you.The drivetrain on a car doesn't make a different to me. FWD understeer? Challenge accepted! Don't by a RWD just because it's easy mode for speed and handling. If there's no challenge, it's boring.
***** well ... Rwd is fun so I guess you just switched ... But remember a well sorted car is always Good car
3rd gen TL, best TL ever. Bring it back Acura...along with the exhaust pipes.
Those aren’t stock tips
I just bought a 3rd gen TL. A few months ago after watching this video, it really made me want to buy one
ill literally take one brand new just like my 05 was great cars
@@salutpierrot is it good
@@lmao8656 yes
Oh god, it's FWD, that means only one thing; the comments are going to be full of anti-FWD guys (reads comments), yep just like I thought..
+Zero Ninety LOL. Well, at least you know you were right. Psychic! :)
Fuck i can't believe this pos is fwd! I'll take my rwd conversion 1987 Hyundai excel over this trash anyday!!!
Love my TL i do wish she was rwd but i love her just the same
With good reason if you ever track a fwd!
those were the best looking TL's and still is.
i think you meant best looking car
2gs still valid
I have a soft spot for these TLs, I think they are some of the most beautiful and timeless cars ever built. Shame it wasn't rwd or sh-awd.
joedogg9836 later models where SH-AWD
@@nighthawkj30A4 yeah but they're ugly
@@converseatthemetgala the newer tl's get pretty cute once you fix the chrome front grille thing to black, the duck tail ish trunk looks kinda funny but i like it personally
@@aidandevitt3633 they look good, but they don't look agressive like they used to just looks like a regular sedan
@@nighthawkj30A4 only 2012-2014 and the new one's
fun fact: the 3g tl has one of the best performing headlights EVER made. when properly tuned, the 3g tl projector blows away everything on the road
lmao right, and a stock TL also holds the lap record on the Nurburgring, right? I like the TL is much as the next guy but lets not get ahead of ourselves.
+Crusher103 I'm seriously not even kidding. I'm just talking about the headlights, not anything else lol. I've never been particularly fond of the tl so it's not like I'm a fanboy or anything
You don't need to tune them. In stock form, they outperform everything, period.
they're good in stock form. But outperforming everything is highly debatable lol
daaaamn i love these TL's, gotta be one of the best looking if not THE best looking sedan japan has ever made.
beautiful choice, she can move for a big girl
Why Is Water Wet i disagree strongly. aristo is nice, but it's no TL
lol this car was never sold or existed in japan.. its american and canada only
Yeah I have one (06 6MT). I really love it. My only real complaint is that the fuel economy isn't great relative to its speed. 22-25mpg on premium fuel isn't great compared to more modern cars that are similarly fast, yet average 28-32mpg.
splewy it's hard to beat a civic pound for pound, but if i just COULDN'T drive a civic this would be an easy second choice for me...an '05 style in all black or all white, rims and all...
she has a long, sexy set of japanese legs that's for sure
dumbass lol TL is usdm only
I have to agree with Matt;. This generation of TLs were gorgeous, especially the Type S with the Black sport wheels.
The stock 3rd gen TL has to be one the greatest daily drivers ever made...
But this...WOW.
I wanted a TL type s as my dd for the longest time, and watching this video... Just makes me look for one right away
Wow, now thats a sleeper. Looks completely stock from the outside but its supercharged and making 700hp..
If only this thing was RWD, it'd be the best sedan Honda ever built.
I believe they made an awd one at some point not sure if that came in later generations though
Michael Dorn This gen had FWD only. Next gen had SH-AWD but it's hella ugly vs.. this gen.
Agreed. I'm so happy I own one. Timeless design and surprisingly good performance.
If only this thing was AWD.... lol if you want RWD go get a mustang or something.
RWD - Honda sedan; topkek.
Also if I remember right you couldn't get the AWD in a manual trans, auto only which would defeat the purpose of a track car in most cases.
Watched this video with the cheesiest smile on my face, the sound of the car, Matt’s humbleness to the power and a unique clean one of a kind build.
Matt is by far my favourite YT car reviewer, but just laughed so hard when missed the gear 😂😂 the little face was epic
Jesus Christ that TL is gorgeous.
Jesus Christ is not a swear word. Stop using the name in Vain and delete your comment Brother. I am Just a messenger.
Michael David Montalvo sorry father

Looks like fun to drive. Andy's my buddy from college and he's a good guy. He's been posting pictures of this build, including the kitchen pictures, for years. Good to see it in action on the track.
Just linked up with him. In regards to his rotrex kits for the tls. Awesome guy to talk to ,we chatted on the phone for quite some time. Looking forward to pulling the trigger sooner than later
This is awesome, I always loved this generation TL. Really sweet car.
Love these track one-takes, even more than the canyon ones these days. More pls!
I'd love to see this run through again with the full 700hp...I wanna see how bonkers it really gets with another 200+whp
Great build Andy! I agree with Matt. Probably the best looking Generation TL.
Beautiful sleeper, thing is a beast and will takes the kids to school comfortably.
I love it!!!!
No idea how you don't have way more subs. One of my fav channels. guess not as many car lovers out there as i thought.
About time!!! I hope t see a nicely modded Acura TSX one of these days!!!
That was beastly for 450 whp! Wish it was completely unleashed. It's weird that it breaks up at the same spot every time
this andy guy is one smart dude. he made a really nice tl really bad ass. you rock andy !
Hey Matt, loved the extended look at the car! Nice!
Ah, this makes me miss my 04 TL. The thing would torque steer like a MF when you'd mat the throttle, and it made 270hp a whole lot more exciting than it had any right to. For what is effectively an accord with a pretty face, that car could rail through the corners when you put sticky rubber under it.
Kudos to this owner for a solid build!
Really is about the best looking TL.
My late grandfather had the same year and model obviously without any work but seeing them will FOREVER make me think of HIM and for that I will someday upgrade from my 03 Accord k24 5mt to something like this eventually. So everyday I look at the car and will think of him.
I love how clean it looks yet packs a big ass punch
Always loved the TL.
FWD can be fast, very fast if set up properly. Been saying this for years. Guys tuning MINIs, Saabs, Alfas, and Volvos have been doing this for decades...very fast and great handling FWD cars. Dont think FWD can be fast? Just ask Jason Plato, Ivan Muller, Gabrielli Traquini, etc. from WTCC and BTCC - fastest cars are FWD.
This Acura, while not my favorite sedan by any means, seems well sorted...when he fixes his tune and perhaps O2 or cooling issue...nice job. Way to go for being different.
Those cars you're talking about are all out race cars with $30,000 in the dampers alone. No where near the same thing as a family sedan. They're FWD for cost, no other reason.
Fast FWD will kill you if you lift off, and in most corners you'll barely steer. Quite tricky actually.
This one is just a street missile build. Lots of power and crappy coilovers with too low ride height for the spring rates and dampers that overheat. Car's just riding the bumpstops all the time.
Skylar Garrett where do you get your info from? Dont you think they would go RWD if it was so vastly superior? That is the chassis they are working with - just look at the domination of FWD in the 90s touring car era. They were not so far removed from their showroom cousins. I have been in an old 90s touring car, been in the engine bay, looked underneath...same as my car, except the parts are just that much better and expertly set up. That is all.
***** You are totally right about this car. I did say properly set up however...obviously this car has a way to go in the handling department, but it can get there... And no it wont kill you, have been in very fast FWD before, just have to drive it differently than RWD that is all...
It was meant tongue-in-cheek :P
But fast FWD's are quite snappy and mistakes are costly. Which is what I meant. Of course they require a different driving style :)
TL owners like myself were looking forward to this vid :)
Gotta love these Acuras! I want a TL-s for a daily
Love the car, really clean. Just wished it was running smoother. And these comments are absolutely hilarious.
These cars are great from the factory. They start at 270 horsepower and the 6 speeds come with a limited slip diff. Aside from being wrong wheel drive it's a a great car.
You can claim that all you want but given the fact that it was faster than the IS350 and G35 of it's generation the TL Type S did it right.
+vidurc I can claim what? That front wheel drive is Inferior to rear wheel drive at the track? This has been proven a long time ago. Rear wheel drive is better for road courses, drag racing and it's more fun. I don't know what figures you are talking about with the g35 and is350 but they are both faster to 0-60 and in the quarter mile than the tl type s.
wrong wheel drive is what made it sell so well
258 actually. They initially said 270 but later they had to adjust to SAE
d1sturb3d119 Toyota and nissan don’t have anything on Honda/Acura vehicles. Honda invented variable valve timing. And that’s when the VTEC system was born.
I've been a long-time fan of the TL and actually plan to get the 2010 SH-AWD as my next car. Needless to say, I love this :)
Ultimate sleeper! Car sounds insane!
Hey you got some skills handling the front wheel drive screamer! Nice TL, I agree 07/08 type S is by far the best acura sedan they ever built.
Totally agree on this gen of TL is the best looking one. Too bad they didn't have SH-AWD on these.
No, SH-AWD was reserved for the RL (or "Honda Legend" if outside the USA). When the TL did gain SH-AWD, not only did it become a different car, but it messed up the whole hierarchy. Things only somewhat settled once the TL became the TLX, but that cost us the existence of the TSX. Won't even start with the RLX :-/
Can't believe people are hating on this, this is awesome!
I been waiting for a Acura TL Type S to be on this channel for a long time.
Seems like every week there's a car claiming X power, bit clickbaity, then it's on a different tune at 2/3 the power in the video. My Nissan Juke is 1000hp, but it's currently on the 160hp tune.
Well if you title it "450 WHP Acura TL" then in the first few seconds of the video I say "600 WHP," it gets very confusing. Its much easier to put the 700 HP number, which I am told and repeat in the beginning, and find out it was on a lower tune later. I've seen the dyno sheet, it does make 665 WHP, so it's not inaccurate, but that's just the way it goes sometimes.
TheSmokingTire Yeah I know you have to work with the info you're given Matt, it wasn't a personal dig at you. Just an observation :p The owners of the cars probably wouldn't be happy with you putting 450WHP either lol.
lol
The guy saying this cant even spell the name of his own car right says everything
TheSmokingTire you drive a juke ur opinion is irrelevant
almost everyone in the comments doesn't understand the joys of a sleeper car, or is too busy bashing FWD.
Congrats on 600k subs man
Keep up the mad vids
Definitely holding onto mine. A 3rd gen TL was my dream car. Ever since I bought one I've always loved it. I can't wait to grab a bundle #3 or bundle #6 with 15 pounds of boost early next year and be fully bolted pushing even higher numbers. It's enough power to have some fun and a very enjoyable car all around to drive. I've driven many vehicles, but it's just not an Acura. Cheers and thank you Andy!
So since my 2008 Honda Accord has a J35 in it, would I be able to achieve this build with similar or same parts?
Now this I like
Always a great day to start your morning with the smoking tire. Hypeee
Man, this generation of the TL aged really well. 6 years ago I almost bought a loaded 6spd TL. I went to the dealership on a Wednesday to check out the car and called on Thursday to say I want to come leave a deposit and found out they sold the car an hour after I left on Wednesday. 😕
That intake manifold doe.
Until you own or drive one of these cars, you prob will never understand how well these cars rotate for their size and weight even with stock suspension.
Double-wishbone babyyyy ✌️
I absolutely loved my 08 Type-S. If I still had it I'd let you take it out for a spin. Some lucky bastard somewhere has it and it's properly sorted, well it was when I sold it.
Keep up the great videos you definitely have a great variety of cars and very informative 👍💪🏼
built the engine in his kitchen... I wonder if he's married, haha
fwd cars are fast because of the lack of drivetrain loss compared to rwd and 4wd, and if you have a good suspension setup on a fwd car, it doesn't matter how much power you got, it'll corner well
No it won't lol, it will understeer and 300 hp in a FWD will spin every time so your not putting down power to the ground. Atleast with RWD, you get balance of power and can drift!
@@TheAfghan72 RWD FOR KIDS
Afghan Lion you need to learn to drive then..
@@4door_papi good one
GRIDLIFE + Andy + TheSmokingTire = win!
holy balls, who knew the j35 could pull those numbers... I love mine in my 09 Accord EXL.
What are those rims I love them I want to put them on my red TL Type S
Same here lol
Sweet ride. I wonder why he didnt just relocate that battery though. Its like 1/3 of his engine bay
Same, thing looks huge
Ya first thing I noticed too.
Sounds like the rear could use some extra weight back there as well, and maybe a wing for track days
BEST OF THE BEST! Amazing tuning
Nice video. I used to own a Supercharged 2004 TL in WDP color. I had a Eaton S/C and only dyno'd at 313whp. So I can only imagine how fast that 450whp was on the track.
Yo Matt, what happened to ads on Your channel, in like three of the latest videos I didnt ge any ad. I used to watch'em, since they were bit relevant, but no ads? Did the sunglasses finally start to pay up? :))))
No ad block or any other ad blocker.
TH-cam has an algorithm for serving ads. Even when ads are enabled, not every view will generate an ad. I don't know what the exact algorithm is, but its normal. Sometimes you just don't get an ad.
I felt guilty there for a sec that my adblock whitelist failted me.
LISTEN ladsladies: You can make Matt's channel exception, just google Your adblockers name HOW TO TURN *BLOCKER FOR CHANNEL. It will give him cents - thousands of cents, whatever. He needs to make money to make this veideos cos his sunglassses ain't paying enough.
He sells sunglasses?
Oh come on, Matt wouldn sell his brand for advetiising. He does it for love of fans. He doesn't need to pay his bills, or his family,, of course he doesn't need to buy cameras and insurance. Dilllon specs just give give him glasses so he can wear them. Matt doesn't need to pay for flight tickets and the crew and their photo tools, and unsurance for them tools. You know people who shoot his shit... from his own pocket because he loves us and doesn't need to pay for these things
Thats why he did and does one takes (btw holy shit dude thank You for em, and thanks for inspiration.)
. Matt thanks You for spending 3k for this video, in all costs that could have happened or did happen. (Since every and each of them cars could have possibly be crashed or crashed into...)
Matt, Have dare You to ever ask for patreon or shit like that man?You must be swimming in money.
All, in all, fuck You Matt, How dare You porviding us with free entertainment?
I just wanted to buy a pair man... Chill
This has probably been asked before but what happened to the Fox?
He's trying to locate a new cobra steering rack which seems rarer than unicorn farts.....
Still working on it.... Endless project. No more project cars for me, they suck. I could have just spent the money on a Porsche and been perfectly happy rather than reinventing the wheel.
+TheSmokingTire that sucks man and keep up the great work love your videos.
Journey way more fun than the destination. Hopefully you get it sorted soon, I'm sure your bored of the journey at this point.
+Alexis Urena the journey sucks balls. I hate the journey. The journey means spending money and not driving my car.
I totally agree that this is the best looking generation of the Acura TL.
And not a single crack on the dashboard. Way to go!!
Hey Matt did you feel like 700hp to the front wheels is a bit too much?
Was on 450whp tune
What the hell do you think?
I once had a Saab 99 with around 300bhp, I was legit scared of that thing. The wheels would start spinning when trying to overtake.
+Kris Nicholson That's like a 90's rule. These days the fastest FWD cars have around 300 hp from the factory + clever solutions to avoid torque steer.
I don't know. I only experienced 450 HP to the wheels in this video.
All of that and he puts fucking Megan Racing coilovers on it ? Really ?
seemed alright to me.
tf is wrong with megans?
i mean fuck, at least it isnt on cut springs
Theyre garbage. Stock stuff was better quality.
My RSX is on cut springs with Megan coils sadly, don't know what the fuck the previous owner was thinking, they can be alright if you set it up right for the track, for the street it sucks. I'm going back to OEM with the Aspec/Type R suspension, the manufacturer does it best.
I would enjoy that on a highway or drag strip not a race track. Looks like a handful on the track, good job on containing that beast Matt.
I really like these j series supercharged builds
isnt that a 07-08 model year?
Its an 07 type s. he originally swapped the interior with base interior.
+Michael Crosset I know he did, but I'm on an Acura forum with the kid who's car it is. It's an 07 types s. The type s was not available till 2007 and 2008.
It's a 2005
KingDarr This is a direct quote from Andy Gerzina (the cars owner) on the Acura TL Facebook page we are both on.
"Matt Farah was confused. It's an 07 Type-S with my old 05 base interior swapped into it. I even provided him a spec sheet. figures! lol". If you still don't agree, look up what TL comes in a 3.5. The ONLY one that comes in a 3.5 is the type s. Which was ONLY available in 2007-2008. Or message Andy on Facebook to ask the owner.
Yes, exactly what i said. It cant be 05 if its type s. Plus the body, larger grill, lights, gauges, side mirrors are all from the 07-08 facelift/ type s. 3rd gen is nice, but you get so much more in 07-08 vs 04-06
It really breaks the idea of a sleeper car, when there is a fuckin title on the back saying SLEEPR...
This is my second time watching this channel and this is the first second car I've seen that acted up to wear he had to restart it.
Just got a 2005 Acura TL. It's the 6 Speed manual. Oh it's nice. I can't say anything negative for getting it at 19. I like it quite a lot. It's comfortable for me and some guests and it goes when I need it. Can't complain.
Any 1st gen G35's coming up Matthew?
06-07 G35 would be ideal!!
mathew
Lol this man said Matthew like a sophisticated British butler.
Yaaasss
+TWINTURBOOWNS biiiiitch
"700 HP" placebo effect
Was on 450whp tune
love the channel and thanks for making the videos
Clean look. Understated from the outside. I liked it.
ahhhhh come on man what the frack, all that power and harnesses and everything, but no ROLLOVER protection?!?! I can't believe the track staff even let the car out there. That's super shady.
The car seems awesome and all, but seriously, at that level it really NEEDS rollover protection, especially when you're pinned into the seat with fixed harnesses.
Maybe that is why it was tuned down to 450?
Terry Hernandez
Seems rather arbitrary. Honestly any vehicle with racing harnesses needs some sort of rollover protection. With normal seat belts, if the car rolls over, your upper body can move so as to not injure (or kill you) when the roof caves in. With harnesses you can't move to the side at all. You're pinned in place, and a rollover could very likely break your neck.
+Patrick94GSR didn't think about that. Very good point.
The car did not pass tech, and they were not going to let it out. Because it was me (and only because it was me) they said I could go out in it at my own risk.
+TheSmokingTire ah hahh yep I figured they wouldn't pass it, not usually anyway. Was that the first time he had the car at that particular track?
Please relocate that battery. All that beautiful work under the hood and then that ugly thing sitting there.
"It's an amazing machine." (Lance voice) Get back to us once the bugs are worked out. What a beauty/dream car, so clean!!
That's a badass build!
Hey Matt, if I have TH-cam Red, which means I don't have to view adds, does that mean you don't make money from my views? Or does YT have some other mechanism for paying you?
we do see some small percentage from Red, yes.
+TheSmokingTire is it less than you would otherwise?
+Duncan Campbell I don't have any way to tell that for certain
Content creators are supposed to get a bigger cut from Red users than from ads.
what about the people with an ad blocker? does that effect anything?
665 whp to the front wheels????? Why?????
Cause it's his car
there are variants of the acura tl with awd I don't know why he didn't just buy one of those
Best and most applicable answer.
Its sh-awd it wouldnt really help and would probably just break in this case.
+TheBillybobsrjr I don't think there was awd for this generation
That is just so beautiful I love it
Always loved this generation of tl. The type s is probably one of the best factory production cars acura/Honda has ever produced in terms of a 4 door sedan. Wish I could get my hands on one
450Hp doesn't sound as appealing I guess. Its like taking a hot girl out with friends and she surprises you by not wearing makeup
Then it wasnt a hot girl after all.
Why build a 700hp FWD car? What's the point?
You just answered your own question.. Because it's different and cool. Why not be different?
Because unlike you and all the other dumbasses who think that high hp FWD doesn't work, we actually know about things like BBG, traction control, and throttle modulation as well as stiff rear springs, motor mounts, traction bars and a good alignment with wheels allows you to put down plenty of power even in a FWD. It's a road car anyways, plenty of the pulls he does in it is probably from a roll....
Well, it is undoubtedly true that high power outputs and FWD are not conducive to a driveable car. It'll torque-steer straight into the nearest tree if it ever actually puts any power down.
Some people don't like power sliding... I guess?
Jacob Maltby
RWD doesn't mean lots of sliding, but you can always go AWD if you want to put power down.
Sounds flawless, not even close to obnoxiously loud with all that power

+Joe Black I been following Matt since Garage419 and I always knew he would have a big channel because his content has always been consistent even on Drive too even though it was a bum deal for us for a paid channel with not so much content as the free ones. Defo think the one takes bought a load of new subs and I'm really liking the variety of cars shown here's to TST 🍺
Why spend SO much time money and energy on a front wheel drive v6 sports sedan? No matter what you do, it will still drive like a front wheel drive car with a heavy v6 in front.
It's a cool build, drives surprisingly well, and it's original. It's a V6 not a 4-pot so no one can say it's a riced-out turbo 4-banger. Sounds the business, and goes like hell, all in a sleeper sedan.
+VirusTornado Not everyone in the car industry likes driving don't they. Some love the 'engineering'/'building' part, some like the 'looks' and 'bling'. But i for one love driving. Lightweight rear wheel drive or all wheel drive only for me when I want a platform to throw money at. I'm not saying FF cars are shit, heck i'm in love with mine rn. But if i had to pick a project car is what i was saying. I'm sorry my original comment can be a bit offensive. Have a nice day guys.

its fun to have a sleeper
Chris Sorreda Well I agree I love driving too, but sometimes you work with what you have right?
how can you not comment on how well it puts down such big power on a front wheel drive car even set 450whp!
petoneves Matt is bad with remember numbers. This was 502whp / 440wtq at 9psi on e85. 15psi is 634whp and 470tq. Check out my Instagram profile "gerzand" for dyno videos and graphs. Thx
That's sick. That's a 07-08 Type-S. Same as mine. Those things stock are pretty good cars. They had torque steer from the factory, I can't imagine 450whp 😱
That's a sick TL
Sweet baby Jesus... this is what my dreams are made of. I've owned 2 TLs.. 2nd gen and a 3rd gen (2005, too!) 😍
Great video. I could imagine what full power would be like. Probably takes a lot of time to get used to.
that TL is sick! that thing has honda power!!!!
TL FAM!
