Confused about 0-60 time for CL-S

Confused about 0-60 time for CL-S
My question is mostly directed to the discrepancy between the mags that report 0 to 60 times for the CL-S and other cars.
I recently saw a report indicating that the TL-S does 0 to 60 in 6.2 sec. and all mags report our CL-S at 6.4 to 6.8 secs. Why?
How can a TL-S have a faster time from 0-60 than the Cl-S? Isn't the TL heavier than the CL-S? Dont they have the same Hp and torque, actually the same engine?
Shouldn't the CL-S be cranking out 0 to 60 times between 6.1 to 6.3 and/or the same as the TL since we have two less doors.

no they dont have the same engine...every1 knows the cl is powered by honda's B52 V-8, the engine weighs in at about 3000+ lbs so thats why the cl is slightly slower

What the hell are you talking about V8. I haven't heard of a V8 engine in any of the honda-acura production cars on the market. Can you clarify your point.

2. I have a feeling the TLS has lighter wheels 6.5" vs 7" wide, with the style being very similar. Wheel weight helps more than most people can imagine.
3. Acura, could have done some minor mods to the TLS engine and/or subsystems -- this is only a guess.

I was poking under the hood of my car yesterday and found the two hidden cylinders... but one has to put in $100 bills to make 'em work.
