I just got done picking up a GORGEOUS black on black 1998 3.0 Premium with 67K miles for 12G's....had every service record, one owner, non-smoker and had limo tint all the way!.....but there ya go, just an idea.......If I were you, I'd definately look into a 3.0 Premium, go all out!

Wow, someone who is so clueless about the car could find this forum before a website with specs on the car? Dunno costs, but i got a certified prowned 3.0 lil over a year ago with 34K on it for 18. 2.3/2.2 come in 5 speeds but have 50 less hp, but their upside is that they have a larger aftermarket than the 3.0's. The 3.0 has 200hp, but parts are a bitch. Best of luck, and welcome to the board

Not being rude, just it took me like 4 months after i bought my car to find this site. Find it funny you know nothing about the car, yet found the site..
Also, just remember, whatever the specs are, aftermarket can fix most of the downfalls

Arvin: Welcome!

Many peeps who have the 3.0 wish we had a 5-speed. However, the potential of the 3.0 is there!

Whatever you chose, GET A CL!!!!!!!!

I have a 97 3.0 premium the car looks hot engine in these car looke powerful when you get that hood up but the tranny doesn't let you take it to it's full potential becasue there are so many people whos tranny go way to early that you just don't want to strain it but the car is great. if you do go for the 2.2/2.3 get leather you have to have an acura with leather it take the hole fun of owning an ac and not a honda

i was thinking of selling my CL. it's a 97 5-speed. pretty fast. fully kitted. Anyone that has seen my car knows that it is really nice. clean, beautiful, and fast. dual apexi N1 exhaust. just look at my sig and you can see how much work i've put in this car. i also have a turbo kit for the car. FMAX T3/T4 turbo kit. i was thinking of selling it for $17,900. almost $10,000 has gone into this car, $3,000 on the body alone. or if i keep the rims, turbo, and sound system i'll sell it for $14,500. runs great. email me at beta6blurry@yahoo.com if your interested. if you do buy this car, you'll be one of the ten cars i saw with full custom body kits. that's like 10 out of 10,000 members? the choice is up to you.
