Yes what he said... Welcome to the forums. Get ready to start modding after being here a month. There is a lot of power to unleash in the CL-S6's J32 engine.

If you have the $$ to spend...Not many things are cheap with this car. Your HP to dollar ratio is pretty high.

I'm coming from a BMW, so things are considerably cheaper with this car. Only issue i'm having right now is I think the clutch is on its last legs.

But the 2 hour drive home from picking it up was fun, from 70-140 with out leaving 6th gear is nice.

This car is incredible there's a lot less "toys" and everything I drove in my price range didnt compare to the bmw....Until I drove the CL-S. I stepped on the gas in 1st gear and I was sold. There great cars.

Welcome and happy modding.

Welcome and good luck with the new car. My car still surprises me till this day, with the cars I beat up on and hang with. I only have a few bolt on's, I can't wait to finish my mods to see what it really can do..

Welcome, and as far as the clutch it could just be you need to get used to it. Alot of people who had other brands then drive a acura/honda manual think something is wrong when it is not.

Excellent pickup. I love my SMR CL-S 6spd. Most powerful car I've ever owned so I'm not worried about $1200 exhaust systems and $4000 super charger setups. I'm beyond the years of buying a car and making it fast and more into buying fast cars and just enjoying it in factory trim. Bout the only thing I'll change on cars from here on out are suspension and stereo.

You read my thoughts exactly! Came from a lightweight roadster ( Mr2 spyder) clutch stiffness is like night and day difference. The Cl is my 1st Acura/Honda
