3.0 CL feels 'Heavy'
I just bought a 97 3.0 CL and compared to my wife's 93 altima and my 1992 accord the CL feels much heavier and less agile. Has anyone else noticed this? With only another 300 lbs the v6 should make the CL more responsive?
I also noticed the Altima shifts are a lot quicker. The CL seems to shift ok but each shift seems to take a little longer especially going up a steep hill.

Yeah, we're dealing with 3219 lbs. (before you put anything in the car). I pretty much manually shift the car anymore, so I don't encounter the slow shifts.
The 3.0CL isn't terrifically fast, but then, that's why we mod it!
Congrats on purchasing the CL!
