The 6-Speed hasn't been out too terribly long for people to run them well but IMO, an all motor 13.4 is possible but not probable as the car would need to be stripped down.

However, the recently released Comptech blower could be considered a bolt-on product...

according to a thread in car talk... http://www.acura-cl.com/forums/showt...threadid=84745 the acceleration should be a 13.56 with the s/c. now this is just speculation with a pretty accurate and reliable program, so its not real proof just a probabliliy. and could be comparable to a modded vdub since both cars will be force fed at that point.

o... and just for the record ive only raced 2 1.8 golf's, 1 jetta, and the bug and never lost to one up to 50+. and im stock except for a filter.

Ok. In that case, will just call an APR Stage III kit a bolt on as well.

without upgrading to a stage III turbo in your cars, wouldnt adding a S/C to our cars equal the playing ground? ya know since you already have a stock turbo setup and we will have the stock sc?(no boost increase-- i dont mean bought as a stock option on the car)

No. There's this little thing called displacment that gets in the way. Your engines are nearly twice as big as ours. Throw a turbo or SC on a bigger engine, and your naturally going to have alot more power then a smaller one. This actually delves into the old apple vs. oranges debate. Kinda like the VR6 lovers on Whoretex that say, "Well, throw a turbo on a VR and it'll eat any 1.8 on the street." It's not really the question here. Our cars are turbo'd from the factory. We can't help it if God blessed us! Ya feel me???

what's all this about respecting other ppls cars? who gives a rat's ass... losers don't get respect... just talk shit... all that matters is when it comes to the streets/track... some driver's are better, some aren't... can't judge a whole group of cars on a few races... blah...

I think VWs are POS cars. Just a cheap version of an Audi. If I was gonna get a car to mod the hell out of it I'd proly be getting something else.

Actually the 1.8t power plant is a nice hand-me-down from Audi. It is very potent and has potential. I just wish that many of the VW posters on this forum would comprehend the true aspects of their vehicles and above all, know what they are talking about when they spout off BS about another vehicle.

I am stating from my perspective only about statements on this forum. You have made false statements about the CL-S which were corrected which is exactly what I was alluding to.

Any responses to my posts should not include references to other forum members posts, they should be only about statements I have made.
