so as i drive my 2.2 cl automatically, i noticed how slow it accelerates. the car feels sooooooo heavy and i think honda should of made the engine stronger for the cl..rather than just dumping in the exact accord engine with the same specs. my corolla feels faster off a launch from a stop than the cl..BUT i LOVE the interior...soo nice for a 9 years old car. i figure i should just drive it and just enjoy hte ride..no more racing for me.

 

umm, i guessing you drive an automatic cl, but still not quite sure how one would drive automatically???? And yeah, there arent that quick, gonna have to deal with that one











and lastly, you raced a corolla, thats like modding a pinto, why bother?

 

he says his corolla feels faster than the CL ^

i have an auto 2.3 and it's not that bad =/ wish it did have a tip-tronic though =(

 

upgrade, get the 2nd gen

 

so like, I really dont see the point to this thread

 

neither do I, but

 

x3

 

Me either.

 

smaller car usually feel faster off the line thats all.

 

A corolla weighs a lot less then the cl does.

 

my type s is pretty slow too

 

Guess this thread makes me mad?? i think asianmomo should be haha

j/k

 

but ya, y would u bother gettin a auto 2.2

 

i thinkg i would my self before getting anything auto that i was thinking of going fast in. comuter car yes auto car that is or i think is fast def a manuel. that a no brainer

 

My 3.0 auto will dog your 2.2 manual

Sorry, wanted to kick up that argument again

 

so what about your trans?

 

i race with a member on here awhile back. he had a 2.2 auto coverted to a 5speed. I would be toying with him in my 3.0.

 

My 3.0 has a fresh transmission, and will DOG your 2.3.

haha, just ing you 2.Xs... You know this thing again.

 

but even with a bad tranny the 3.0 would of smoke the 2.x CL....once it get up and running that is.

 

all the mercedes benz AMG's are auto. 700+ lb/tq @ like 2000rpm is nothing to fuck with.

 

ahh the classic 3.0 vs 2.2 arguement ...

 

I must sadly dissagree... My first transmission was a burnt pile of It slipped, lagged, frantically shifted, slipped, you didn't know what it was going to do. Hell, it didn't know what it was going to do. By the end of its days, 4th gear didn't even work, and 3rd was getting so mushy that I barely made it to the shop. But now, definately smoke a 2.X, ALL DAY LONG.

 

Freshly rebuilt, shifts like a champ, had a little slippage, but that went away, think it was just breakin in

 

 

Mine didn't slip at all... Did you baby it for the first 500 miles? If you hammered it the first day, you probably did some internal wearing that was unecessary.

Good luck.

 

Any 3.0's ever race a lude of h22 CL????

 

'97 Prelude SI got me off the launch, but couldn't hang on the highway. I think it was more the driver's fault, but oh well, a kill is a kill.

 

I ahve seen lude's kill so many things 1/4 on the streets. There was one kid with a 97 si with intake exo header clutch and weigth reduction that use to just smoke people

 

I think Cocoa, said he did when he was still 3.0. he took the H22 CL without the juice.

Or did i dream of that? you know u have a problem if you dream of ACL in ur sleep.

 

2.x manuals have potential.
3.0 autos are what they are unless the tranny problem is addressed.

 

bish

 

i know thats why i got a 1st gen 3.0CL

 

i think the 2.x will ROCK all the other cl and cls...on performance, weight and reliability.. HAHAHAH...


and yes, i know the auto 2.2 is damn slow since the car is so heavy..but as i said, im just gonna drive it as a commuter car, and enjoy the luxurious interior and let other ppl admire my car.

 

uh oh...here we go again..

This thread is gonna go to hell quick

 

why? because the kid knows which car is the better of the 1st gens?

 

Oh i know who is better *cough 2.x cough*..But there is no point in rubbing that in the 3.0 guys faces anymore. Its just known! 3.0 guys.

 

Lighter, better MPG, no need for multiple trannies, can do more to the engine. Thats just to start.

 

*ducks for cover*

 

 

That sounds like an ayougo statement, if it is you alex, we missed you

But the rest of it doesn't, oh well, hopefully he pops up one day, i'm sure he's on here at least lurkin
