right click, save as.

Cool video from a post at acura-cl.com. It's H@mmerman's Z racing one of the guys at acura-cl.com. Both drivers were good sports about it, and the CL did well considering it was an auto. Enjoy. Please no Acura bashing in this thread...not why I posted.

both cars were bone stock btw.

edit: no they werent my bad...

Zeroday... MattG's CLS is FAR from bone stock. He has headers, intake, pulleys, exhaust, lightweight rims, etc.... N/A though

Also, the Z was running in third gear instead of second due to a starting roll at 50mph, so that's why it took some time to gain on the CLS.

I'm a former CLS owner, so I give it props, but a stock CLS would be no match for a Z

My close friend has a CL-S. It's a closer race than I'd like it to be. It's a shame that Acura didn't make it RWD. I would've gotten one in a heartbeat.

nice vid

I know a manual CLS will give 350 a run for its money been their done that.

SJTrackZ · 09-26-2003, 06:41 AM

I was ahead of them while they video taped the run. They wanted to get a run taped with me to see what kind of difference my minor mods made. Hammer has the grounding kit. I have that too, along with a nismo exhaust and k&n drop in. We ended up in town before we had a chance to do a run.

Yeah, mattg has the fastest N/A CL-s on the boards. (3.2CLS that is) So, his car is definately no slouch.

Notice after I stated the "fastest CL-s on the boards," I put (3.2 CL-S that is.)

You have the 3.5L upgrade. I know your 1/4 mile times.

too bad hammer started in 3rd gear instead of second.
damn think how bad he would walked him if he started in 2nd...
Zooooommm...

so wat does this cls run in the 1/4 mile

Hammerman · 09-28-2003, 10:20 AM

No, I was not too worried.

If we had done a rolling start at 40 MPH (2nd gear) or 60 MPH (powerband in 3rd gear) he woulda been spanked.
