Ferrari / M3 / Turbo CLS-6
On my way up to the bay area for Christmas I was cruising up the grapevine and I see some distinctive headlights coming up behind me (very low and wide). Just as I suspected a Ferrari (360 Modena) passes by with a new M3 on its tail. I jumped in behind them and we
through the mountains a while. Sorry, there were no official races to report, but I had no trouble keeping up with them. It was a lot of fun. The M3 was actually in my way the whole time... I wanted to play with the Ferrari. Temp was in the mid 30's and the intercooler and turbo were loving it!

Even better when you have nice wide tires and lowered suspension and sways. Ideal setup would be 235/45/17, Tein SS, sways, summer tires. The car handles suprisingly well.

we cant compare the AT CL-S with the 6spd CLS on twisties... the HLSD actually makes a big difference to the LSD that us auto guys have in cornering.... i really felt that bigtime when i test drove a 6spd CL-S. i kinda regret not buying it...
BTW, sounds like it was fun
turbo CL-S >*

But I think CT springs/sways/strutbar, Koni Yellows, Michelin PS PS2 235/45/18s mounted on some 17 LB forged wheels is even better - and don't forget a 13" Brembo BBK.

Nice!!
Dude, you need to go to the dyno and tune it!! You are still using that old fuel/timing map - then again you have probably driven only 1000 miles maybe?!?

those fookers are nuts!!! when the temp is below 50 the m3 is not a very fun car to drive. the rear end likes to lose traction quick and the tires dont like to bite well in cold weather. too much power and no traction= no fun...
it would be very interesting to see a powerful RWD car vs a turbo cl-s would do in a race...

Blue, Smitty and I recently picked up the AEM wideband and it looks like a really slick setup. I should have it installed next week. I'll post pics.
It was $405 shipped from www.rpmoutlet.com

Sounds like you had alot of fun! Sucks to be the M3 driver...can't catch up to the Modena and a lowly CL fogging up his rear-view. ![Smile](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I kinda wish my auto CLS was still stock. I'd trade it in and get me a nice 6-spd w/ the intercooled S/C or find someone to build me a turbo... ah well. Maybe I'll wait for the next Acura coupe - w/ AWD, of course.
