No larger than 75 unless you have additional piggyback ECU tuning.

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.

first off all with the new final drive the rsxs has shorter gears now, meaning its gear racial is now set up more for quarter mile ok and i didnt run him off the hole it was a first gear roll so i dropped it first and we rolled till im about to jump into vtec on first and honked 3 times and then we took off. if you have another way to do it teel me.

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.

r u listening he beat me by 4 cars when i was S T O C K he was not stock. with a hondata the rsxs rev more then 9 grand and with bolt ons too that guy didnt how to drive for real. because b4 i built my ls vtec i ran 13.4 on street tires with skunk2 intake manifold and cam gears, jdm headers(2.5), full mandrel bent piping, chipped p28 and cluthch plus i was spinning like a mf.

...so you are saying your buddy with an intake on his RSX-S beat you by 4 car lenghts and you have a CL-S ? sorry but..

i beat one with my dad's 2004 TL... he was definitly slower. and there'S not much difference between 2004 TLs and 2002-2003 Type-S'...

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...

ratio bro.... ratio

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
