June '01 Car & Driver - CL Type S faster than RSX Type S
Here's the skinny.
2002 RSX Type S - 6 speed manual - 200hp - 2700lb curb weight.
0-60 6.7 sec.
0-100 19.0 sec.
1/4 mile - 15.5 @ 91mph
The six speed is only available in the Type S. Price tops out @ $24.5k.
Sounds like a nice little rocket.![](http://www.acura-cl.com/ubb/biggrin.gif)

davo.............Gary Force service rep says the 6 spd will be in the 2003 model CL-S. Don't know if I'd trade though, auto kind of suits this "cruiser".....but then again?*!

15.5 @ 91 sounds a bit low for the 1/4 mile with the 6.7 0-60. Interesting....
At any rate, I'm glad it's below 7.0. Acura needs to keep raising the bar so to speak.

Happy CL-S Pilot
Every one wants a 6-sp stick on CLS 2002.
Now, assuming that Acura would do that, and say CLS sales are 25,000 units there would be no more than 2500 CLS with stick. For Acura there in no incentive for just 10% increase in slaes to provide, but since competetion is tough, CLS stick will happen.
Enjoy guys![](http://www.acura-cl.com/ubb/biggrin.gif)

in the quote from the magazine they said that they had to worry about a manaul tanny for the cl for 2002, but did it specify if it would be a 2002 or would be out in 2002

Guys, read the fine print. It says, "C/D esimated performance." That means, they're just guessing! Wait til they do a real test drive. Who knows??...it might be faster...it might be slower!

Also remember that those numbers are with a six speed tranny. Wait till we see numbers with a six speed in our ride. It can only get better.
