AutoCrossin the CL!
So yesterday I packed up the CL and thought it was time to take it to an AutoX event... Well it was a SHIT LOAD of fun, like the most fun i have ever had in my entire life! We got six runs, and i was in novice class of course, because this was my first time ever being at an event like this never mind driving in it. But i learned something today....CL's push like fucking dump trucks! My front end washed out in almost every turn, i was on street tires but they were brand new and they were fuzions, so i mean their okay tires, but the CL just pushed the entire time. The announcer even gave the car a new name...The 97 Acura CL Pushwagon... this is should probly be in the Competition and racing section but i was so excited i had to share it with all of you. Below is a video of my fastest and final run with a time of 48.065, please excuse the video quality it was filmed on a digital camera.

Questions:
What year maxima?
What type of CL? i.e. 2.2 Manual?
What year CL is your's?
What state is Knoxville?
Are you going to do any other mods just for the autox?
