Everything about this job is up in the air right now, but if I can get a salary position here and not have to go to iraq, then i'll hold out for that, even if i give up making a lot of money, i'd rather be here, if i have the choice.

But really, the CL is a ride, not a Civic coupe... so if you really want fast, gut and build up a civic or buy a muscle car. If you want a nice luxary touring coupe, bolt on some extras and enjoy your CL.
The CL isnt heavy compared to the same cars in its class. The power to weight ratio it just retarded. Back in 98 150 hp stock was "enough" power. If you look back when our cars were new, not many had more than that.

Still, car is heavy with all the goodies... and you are right about the hp:lbs. WEAK, but these cars were still not intended to be race cars. But definately with some hard work, the CL can be one bad mutha fukka. Besides, 3.0 was 200hp and it could still stand more when you figure the MiVec that comes in the 3000GT is 260. But yeah, for 98 that was pretty hard core, but not today. The newer CLs and now TSX and TL are in the same hp:lbs as their competiters.

Because the prelude was intended to be a "sports car" the CL is an accord, a "family" car. The CL is just a coupe, not a sports car.
I agree that they should have bumped up the power a little, but cars in 98 didnt have a whole hell of a lot of power because power was not as appealing to the american market, well not as much as it is now.
