how fast are these cars? like stock quarter mile...0-60?..would the cl type s..auto...say..be able to beat a integra gsr? cuz i am thinkin about getting one...help me out guys!!!

01CLKID

ive read 1/4 mile is 14.8

MarbleGT

why dont you search guy.......Fast as compared to what? If you are wanting a rice burner or a fast car go with something newer. (ie. g35 or GTO)

0-60 prolly around 6-7 seconds.
For the quarter, you wont break 14 w/out extensive mods costing you well over $2000 bucks. (4,000 for teh supercharger, 7-8+ for the turbo {completely custom}) 1000+ for top of the line headers.

If you are buying the car to go fast.........dont.

BigLizard

LoL....^^^he you @ lazybuttalex.

If you want a fast car, buy a GTO, Vette, or a Viper. Got the cash?

I would say the car is pretty fast...

typeR

stock was advertised at 6.47 0-60 and 14.8 1/4 ...now moddified they can be peppy

mefromuic

you talkin about the integra GSR? Thats only 170hp. CLS is 260. Its heavier though but still.

BTW, GTO is slow for its engine size.

Pharmacist

I assume that the top speed is being governed... What's the best way to remove this?

JadeFox

Horsepower 260 @ 6100 RPM
Torque (lb-ft) 232 @ 5500 RPM

which is unfortunatly destroyed by this....

Curb Weight 3713 pounds

Take the governer off?.....would you also like 3 wishs...

johntypes

Fastest auto w/all comptech parts & V-tech controller
14.10 @ 100.07 mph
Stock auto 15.15 @ 93.37 mph

Pharmacist

I would love 3 wishes? Do you have the ability to grant them?

since u said all comptech parts Does that include SC?

johntypes

NO, sorry about that,but I did put NOS on this summer
13.57 @ 106.66 mph ( hitting it at 4500rpm in 1st gear)

mattg

curb weight is more like 3500#.

Those specs aren't correct. Those times are too high. Also, the top speed isn't even right.

609CLTYPES

lol top speed 130mph!
that is TOOO fast lol... i passed 130 a few times now, wow lol
i can do 130 on this

typeR

what mine doesnt count?

beav626

I hit 136 last weekend!
Wow. OklahomaHighways are fast...

It's obviously not the fastest car on the market. But with some modding it can be pretty sweet to drive. Are you looking at a 6 speed or auto?

01CLKID

the name of the thread is how fast is the cl-s auto

Sun Diego CL-S

one thing is for sure. it sure felt fairly fast flying back down from LA in a caravan yesterday.

MX6PEDDLER

I hit 150 in 4th gear 3 weeks ago on 95 in MD. The top speed has to at least be 155.

All Mine

It's actually limited to 149. Only way to really surpass that is to go down hill.

beav626

How long did it take?

typeR

147 is the goverened limit

SkillmatiC

wow, you have balls...im so paranoid to do that around this area, i95 gets real tempting, but i still wont do that...we have like mustangs driving around pulling people over

Roadmaster

Somebody always has to say it. I always love it when that happens.

For the record, the fastest stock LS2 powered GTO starts at 12.9 seconds in the 1/4 and goes up from there.

MarbleGT

gto's are fast (period).......Personally I think 14.5 in the quarter for 260hp is slow.

Roadmaster

Thanks... Like I said, it is always funny because I see that all over the place.

Ehhhh, 14.5 for a nice luxury coupe with a V6 isn't terribly slow. Likewise, the CL is an entertaining car regardless because of the engine and gearing.

Fast is one thing, fun to drive is completely different.

Best,

Dustin

typeR

yep slow and not fun to drive

Roadmaster

What the CLS is slow and not fun to drive?

I never thought so. Granted I couldn't afford the cost of an '03 6-speed at the time and had to go the '03 Accord V6 route. But I did drive a CL. Hands down is still a great car. Good looks, performance, comfort.

If the automatics didn't have all the issues, I'd probably be looking for a TLS as a daily driver to the GTO.

typeR

it was sarcasim note sig:

pimpscls

i thought my cl was pretty darn fun to drive...definetly quick....but i ended up purschasing an E36 M3...b/c i knew that the cl-s can never match that kinda handling and i wanted a manual...but sometimes i wish i had the cl-s

Roadmaster

Ahhh, gotca I was about to say.

mefromuic

lol You have a 3.5

MX6PEDDLER

Its not limited at 149. I went 153 the other day going uphill. Maybe the limiter is removed with the supercharger.

typeR

i know it's not limited to 149 the factory limiter is set at 147 on an auto im not sure if we've ever fully determined if it's the same for the 6mt,however your speedo s reading is not a good source for determining if you were going 147 or 153 depending on the angle you look at it and tire size a 10% variance is with in spec

MX6PEDDLER

OK. Well, on the speedometer it said 153. I think everyone here used there speedometer to determine how fast they were going. Unless they got a COP to clock them on Radar.

NightRider

Fast? Yes, 152 electronically limited I believe...That is in the upper echelon of cars from 2001-2003 on the road. Quick? Well that is relative. Anyone seen the video online of the go kart out-accelerating the C6? The CLS is quicker than many cars, but also not as quick as many.


EDIT: Although some of us may have topped our cars out (or tried), there is usually a 2-3mph discrepancy with most speedometers in relation to actual speed.
