Transcript

You want to experience 600 horsepower with Honda reliability, this is one of the craziest budget sleeper builds you can do, and nobody will see it coming. The foundation is a 2009 to 2014 Acura TL all wheel drive. You can pick one up today for around $8,000. On the surface, it's just another luxury sedan, smooth lines, leather interior, all the tech you'd expect from a luxury brand. But hiding inside is Honda's j 32 v six paired with super handling all wheel drive, a platform that's shockingly underrated. Drop in a turbo kit, which will have all the parts you'll need, and bolts right up to the j 32. Pair it with a proper custom tune, and that's it. Two main upgrades. You've just turned your Quiet Daily into a 600 horsepower monster. That's German performance numbers wrapped in a car that looks like it belongs in the office parking lot. Thanks to all wheel drive system, this thing hooks off the line like crazy. And with the best j series, you're making power that'll embarrass cars twice the price. It's still an Acura at the end of the day. Comfortable, reliable, and smooth, but now it's a street weapon in disguise. So tell me, would you build this luxury sleeper?
