Well I see you have already done some research so go one step further and do a search for 1/4 mile times for both cars on car and driver or even Edmunds might have it. Nonetheless, you will find that, yes the CL is lighter (less doors, slightly shorter) means less materials, less metal. Weight does make a huge difference and I am sure there is a mathematical equation or ratio that could explain how. Anyhow, yes the CL is quicker than the TL-same engine just less weight, even quicker when 6 spd versus auto.
