Makes me think twice about my choice in vehicles. I do need to upgrade, but I love my low payment CL.

Looks awesome, but wait, does this mean the accord v6 6speed is faster than the cl-s 6? I know Motor Trend always list times faster than Car & Driver, so I was curious if anybody knows how fast they put the CL-S 6 at from 0-60. I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure C& D puts it at 6.5 sec. Just Curious. Thanx!

i've learned things the hard way in the past.......unless you got lots of money to spare, don't try makin a car like the 3.0 cl super fast......not enough potential unless you go all custom and even then you can't really count on the reliability.........it would be phat as hell to have a 3.0 cl in 6spd w/a custom turbo kit but unless ur willing to dump 6-9 g's then i wouldn't suggest it

wohh... that's pretty fast!...i read it somewhere that says the new accords have a diff vtech system... suppose to have 2 stages or something... and there are also other changes to the motor (something related to manifold i think) that makes the engine 240 hps... and it's suppose to be more fuel efficient too... dust... do it and get a supercharger while u r at it ! ahaa
