Do you have a type S? if so, then you suck at driving. They (RSXs) run 14.7-14.9 stock. 4 cars sounds like you're running low to mid 15s.

A CLS should not lose to an RSX by 4 cars, if at all.
What does the final drive have to do with 1/4??? Not sure if you've noticed, but gate shifting helps and you have to know how to launch an automatic too, you can't just floor it.

What does final drive have to do with 1/4 mile you ask?! Just about as much as horsepower and torque! 
Just made yourself look like a lil
Changing the final drive in cars has been know to pick up huge gains in the quarter mile. Changing final drive gears in mustangs for example can drop as much as 1/2 second of a quarter mile time without changing anything else.
RSX's are a hell of alot faster than you must think. A local guy just ran 13.5 @ 103 MPH with bolt ons on street tires.

Ok, maybe I didn't know that, but that's why I asked. The fastest stock RSX I've seen has run a 14.79. I know with Hondata and bolt ons they can run high 13s, but never heard of anyone running a 13.5. Maybe he could lose to an RSX, but 4 lengths seems to much.

Guys... Just a heads up here... The '05 RSX-S with an intake will run mid 14s. If he (the CL-S) was stock he would easily get beaten by 4 lengths. A stock CL-S runs anywhere from 14.8-15.5 depending on the car and the driver.
The '05 RSX is a whole new animal...

i cant believe an rsx-s could pull FOUR cars on a cl-s .... this has happened to no one else in a cl-s....... how bout you check your actuator.. i bet you $20 its broken and you're basically driving a cl-p
