I think the car needs a little more time to gain more attention. Unlike BMW, Mercedes, and Porsche, most people don't really know the setup of our cars have no assosiation in terms of raw performace. I would be interested in seeing some reactions and some stats.
------------------
01 Satin Sliver CL-S
Rear Spoiler
Veneer interior trims
Mud Guards
Wheel locks
moonroof vizor
Red AEM CAI very soon!

I don't like the claim that the RSX-R will be the world's fastest FWD only b/c I'd be surprised if it will beat a 6speed CLS.
------------------
Black/black CLS
Comptech headers, springs, swaybars
Koni yellows
Polarg M6 road lamps
Solaris Hi beams
Potenza RE730 225/45/17
Red AEM CAI
Denso Iridium plugs
35% metallic tint

I thought the Cadillac Seville STS, Eldorado ETC and DeVille DTS were the fastest FWD cars. They each have a 4.6L 300hp V8.

The USDM ITR is the fastest FWD 4-cylinder car in america (not sure about the mitsu gst though, i think it's a little bit slower), and we match it...so the type r and type s are the fastest FWD n/a i-4 and v6 in the US

Yup, but generally speaking honda lays the claim the RSX type R with 220 hp will be the fastest. I think the biggest thing with it is weight . I bet it weights a shitload less than our cls.

Maybe so, but they are pretty quick. I have seen commercials on tv claiming they were the fastest FWD cars produced.

Maybe before the CL Type-s came out....gotta remember those things tip the scale at like 4000+ lbs. and they 4 speed slush isn't great for acceleration either...besides, no one likes our car...maybe the TL Type-s will be rated as the fastest FWD N/A.
