To be honest, I never considered speed as a reason to buy my CL. If I was looking for speed, I would have bought another car. I bought it for the luxury and dependability.
With time, I worked on making it faster.

The WRX gave up it's only advantage...

fuck that!
thats a bunch of bull shit. my friend has a wrx with a bunch of bolt-ons and he still pulls on me like a mug! anyway he raced a 98' accord coupe V6 and he pulled on him easily, on top of all that i know of a 98' neon RT and a 86' corolla GTS that pulled on a 98' accord coupe V6. i'm pretty sure a 98' accord coupe V6 is much lighter than a 98' 3.0 CL. on top of all that i have a 2.3 CL 5speed with just bolt-ons that can pull/keep up with any 98' V6 Accord/CL.

Well i think the 3.0 would be faster if we had a tranny that could transfer the power better. Most of our power is lost in the tranny. At least if we had a stronger tranny, we could keep up with the newer stock cars.

Who knows if its gonna hold out?? If it does, and your destin to keep the CL i'd say its worth it. No actual dyno's were done on a stock or modded car yet. Who knows what the drivetrain loss is with the new tranny.

Its been done. Only in a 6th gen av6. Some parts are a retrofit, but it be worth it if you plan on keeping the car. It also mite be cheaper then buying the "bulletproof" tranny if your handy with a wrench.
