Why is it that at least once a day I see a thread telling people "Don't buy the CL-P" or "a CL-P is not a real CL"

wth?

Yes I know that CL-S is a bit faster than the CL-P but is that reason enough to contantly put down the CL-P?

Is my CL-P really that slow?

From the way most of you talk about the CL-P, people that didn't know any better would think that a CL-P was about as slow as a civic. Do civics accelerate like that? I know its no ferrari but its no slouch either.

I wonder if most of you CL-S owners who contantly put down the CL-P have even ever driven or been a passenger in one? Or are you all just riding the "CL-P's are slow" bandwagon?

Perhaps you CL-S owners need to contantly remind others how fast the CL-S is over the CL-P to make up for the slack in your pants :blaze:

Seriously though, I am not hating on you guys, but it just upsets me that there is so much negativity on these boards towards the CL-P for no apparent reason. You guys warned me not to get the CL-P when I told you guys I was thinking of getting a CL back in January. Guess what? I got the CL-P anyway and am not regretting it one bit.

Thanks for listening

:whocares: what people think. i havent noticed any threads like that, but who cares anyway.

 

I care and cry myself to sleep every night

 

this is a auto performance based website, people are going to recommend the sportier version.

 

I could have sworn it was an Acura CL website?

 

Of all the threads I've read here, I dont recall any bashing CL-Ps in particular.

 

It's really down to price too, if you can get a CLP a lot cheaper, then why not? you get most all the same stuff, I just like the higher horsepower, and the manual tranny which was not offered on the CLP.

 

Yup. It was a 6 speed or nothing.

 

I drive a cls-6, my mother has an 02 clp. Having many hours behind the wheel of both; I can say they are both great cars. My cls-6 is much faster than the clp, but the clp isnt slow at all. The clp rides much smoother, it has different handling characteristics, and a different powerband. Still a really awesome car. It all comes down to driver preference, and matching the car to the driver.

 

For example:

Not picking on him, just using his comment as a reference.

I guess bashing is a harsh word, perhaps negativity?

 

or perhaps I just need to get laid more often or find a hobby?

 

yeah, i think your pussy is hurting too much today.

who cares...enjoy your car.

 

I had a CL-P before my TL-S and i loved that car!!! Had pretty much the same features of the CL-S juz not as much power and handling was a bit different. It was still quick as fuk tho!!!

 

And people with the 6speed bash the 5AT.

blah blah blah

:killer:

 

 

i got a tlp, because the type s wasnt out yet. My TL-P was known to give a few type s' a hard time.

 

 

I think somebody needs a hug...

 

Ha...negativity. I guess you haven't been around long enough, but sometimes even moderators contribute to it. It sure questions their loyalty/intentions when they participate IMO. But anyways...What's worse is that after the bashing/negativity it usually turns into a "me, me, me" type of thread. Stick around long enough and you'll be able to point them out...although there's still a couple out there that chooses to remain true to the cause.

 

:gheywave: ...... nice, ur car is pretty quick!

 

wow i think somebody is pregnant....

the same way you guys make fun of the 1st gens/
the same way the type S'ers make fun of the premies/
the same way the six speeders make fun of the Auto CLS'ers/
the same way the six speeders with Navi make fun of EVERYONE ELSE <--thats me hehehehe

except the CLS's that suck or Blow nobody f**ks with them

 

^^^ the same way skinny kids make fun of fat kids/

dude everybody talks shit.. who cares

 

he dosent own a cls anymore he totaled it.. now he owns a tsx. i know him he has gone to many of our meets with his cls and his tsx. he is a cool guy so dont get down on him because he has a differnt view then you.

 

lol i'm not getting down on him or anybody

like I said, I was just using it as an example since people didn't know what I was talking about...

 

perforated leather envy.

 

<------

 

I have a CL-P and still get play from the ladies.

 

i dont really mind if my car is a type S or P..but i like how it looks :P

 

People that bash the CL-P, are just mad because of their small penis size.

 

Nothing wrong with a CLP. Sounds like you need one of those "Mean People Suck" bumper stickers. :gheyfight: People on this forum say what their thinking. That's what keeps it interesting.

 

 

I just don't understand why anyone would buy a CL-P. The typeS is far superior and only a couple grand more...if you're modding your car for performance, it only makes logical sense to get the Type-S as a base for your project.

BTW, I own a CL-P

 

CL-P

 

Exactly. People always talk about how some people get v6 mustangs and try to mod them.

If you're gonna mod your car, why not start with 35 hp more right off the bat?

I'm not saying clp's are bad. If you want stock and don't care about making it any faster, or even if you just want it for show, they're just as good as type s's.

 

it is human nature to bash. if we're the same color, we'll bash fat and skinny. If we're the same size, we'll bash nationality/origin... and so on... take it or not, it is a bashing world.

 

nice logo... I like it

 

I have respect for the CL-P after driving a loaner TL-P awhile back. Until 5k rpm it was just as fast as the auto CL-S I drove, and it had much more supple seats and a nicer ride. Its not slow either, like what high 15's? Thats as fast as auto 325's & pre-VQ auto Maxima's.

 

6MT Navi > *



I'm just evil.....

 

6mt non-navi > *

I've never been so lost that I would pay $3k for a map. :P

 

It impresses the women... :blaze:

Seriously, if you lived where I lived, every shortcut counts when it involves Southern California traffic.....
