I'm not done with mine and no regrets here either. Granted, the herd has thinned quite a bit but by no means is the CL-S over IMO.

Whatever happened to Mr. 489whp? Will the real Mr. 489WHP please stand up? I tend to think cl8trr is posing as superchargedcls, just a guess though....

Safety Car
The 489whp is a pipe-dream with a supercharger....
I think the stock motor can push 450-500whp without blowing up but I wouldn't boost that everyday - its asking for trouble.
My motor is fine... it probably is weaker now than a comparable NA motor with the same type of mileage; that's just part of the game. Even then with only I/H, I bet it will take nearly every N/A CL-S out there except for TypeR and probably some of the folks running 14.0's.
In any case the turbo comes off this weekend...

IMO, not a pipe dream, just very costly and easier to get there with a turbo.

Safety Car
Just the kit....
It's too much power for FWD and while it was a lot of fun, reliable and just plain awesome - its time for it to go.
I am taking it as a challenge to put the car back to factory-condition. I don't plan on selling it within the next three years... too much of a hit to sell it and buy a new car. It's paid off and might as well enjoy it. Wifey's getting a Volvo S60 so I can keep the 2-door car for a little longer.
In any case I was getting bored and after losing to that Carrera GT I was going to build another block. After sleeping on that idea for a while... its just getting overboard. I don't need a 700hp FWD CL
I might as well just keep this for a while... get a 4-door daily driver and then buy a nice play-car like the Noble M12... those are pretty awesome!
