How does one get his cl 6 speed to hit 13.6?
Well so far I have a 03 cl-s 6 speed and i have AEM CAI and greddy evo2 exhaust. Im planning on getting the headers soon but I dont think that itself will just cut it out. I want to hit around 13.6 NA and w/o any force induction. Ive seen other people say they hit 13.6 or around that area all NA. Can anyone help me out here?

only 2 cars here have gone 13.6 one a 6mt at 13.5 and another an auto at 13.3...it'll take just about every bolt on there is and good traction...good luck

I can get your CL-S (6spd) to run 12's NA for $6K - without stroking the motor. I was well on my way to achieving this but had repeated clutch issues... in fact, my clutch broke on my 13.5s pass, hence it was only 13.5... With some weight-reduction (200 lbs is a good 2/10'ths) and a good launch without clutch-slip... 12's are very achievable.

I was thinking the same thing, I haven't tracked my CL-S yet but when I do this spring I hope to see low 14's as I have been draggin since I was old enough to drive. With a 1.60 ---60 foot time consistant on my other cars I am a little conserned with the front wheel drive traction off the line, more than the top end as I know from experience this makes all the difference.
I would go with some good slicks on the front to start. my

d = gt^2
So plug in 60 feet, 9.87 m/s^2 and you can solve for time. Of course, you have to convert feet to meters or vice-versa.
You could complicate it a bit with wind resistance, but its the first 60-feet and that wouldn't have such a huge impact

TQ > MPG
Good luck getting a 1.6 60' with anything less than a fully built drag suspension. I'm guessing I could probably hit 13.6's with mine if I had some slicks, headers, pulleys, and did a bunch of weight loss.

CL's aren't race cars, guys. i understand your need for speed, but didn't you guys buy them because they are mid-size, luxury, performance coupes? why would you do weight reduction on a CL just to get it to break 12's? you could get a civic hatch with a GSR motor, strip it, and have it break 12's for 1/10th of the price.
i think if you were going to go fast in your CL, it would be way cooler to do it with a full interior, without a loss of lux. otherwise, it's just another car.

lol i just want to hit close to 13.5 easily. Im quite sad b/c i got toasted by a 350z wit intake/exhuast(or thats what he claimed to have had). I could take or hang wit a stock Z but yeah. I know Im suppose to lose the race against a Z wit intake/exhaust but thats just got me more motivated to make my car 13.5
