So i finally got behind the wheel of a 6sp navi TL on Saturday and loved it. Right now I have a 6sp CL nav...stock except for the M5 lip, tint and XM...and I was wondering if all the people with 6sps that are lowered and have intake and headers have any thoughts on whether I should just mod my car or get the TL? I still love my cars looks and interior comfort, but the navi in the TL and the interior was just plain bad ass. Its so much better than the old school navi one I have.

So is the extra money for the TL worth it for handling, interior and such, or is moding my car the way to go. If anyone in the Orlando area has a modded 6sp I could check out that would be helpful in my decision.

Thanks

 

tl has 2 doors too many

slam and mod the cl

 

keep the cl


the new tl isnt anywhere as moddable as ur cl is esp. notw/in the forseeable future


keep the cl

 

keep the cl!

 

You already have a 6-speed.

Keep the CL.

 

and in 2 years, the 04 TL Navi will look dated too. I like 2 doors, so until a new coupe is out, the CL is it. I have a 6 speed Navi too. Never liked sedans, but a coupe off the TL or even the new RL would be an improvement on the CL, and cost about $10k more too.

 

Keep the CL and MOD baby !!

SCd CL with 6 speed would be very cool.

i think u might be an undercover comptech salesman red, haha

 

Why you gonna waste 10 G's on almost the same car with 4 doors?? You must have mad money to burn. You can get springs, shocks, sways, headers, icebox for under 3G's. Throw in a S/C and your are at around 6. Why spend more to to get a 4 door CL. it's still FWD, and weight dist is still around 60/40, I doubt it handles much better. If your'e gonna trade in why don't you get something RWD with real Mod potential and HP.

 

fuck 4drs, keep the CL. theirs so many probs with the 04 tl's anyway, so i wouldnt get an 04. at least wait for 05 so they can work all the kinks out of the old ones.

 

I don't think that it's such a bad idea to do that, I just don't think it's a good idea. By any means. I must say, however, that I prefer the 04 TL styling over our CL styling, stock for stock. Also, comparing how unique a 6MT CL-S vs. TL is like comparing the Backstreet Boys with the Humbajumbaleebees.

Except that the Humbajumbaleebees are ficticious. But you get my drift. Keep the 6MT, you're a lucky guy to have it. Mod ze fuck out of it. Turbo it like Allmotor and... you will never consider the TL again

 

Mod the CLS 6MT. It's a better car than the new TL IMHO.

 

keep your bish.. you have been though some stuff together... why break up a good thing? All for a new piece of arse? The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.

 

The CLS 6MT when modded right will out run, out handle & outdrive a new TL. Also keep in mind the TL is a new car. Mods aren't great yet for it. I drove a new TL & compared it to my 6sp & my car is better in every performance group.

 

I hate the torque steer on the new TL and won't even consider it as a replacement. TS on ours is already bad enough. Keep the CL or move to a rear-wheel or all-wheel drive car if you like handling while you steer.

 

Must be something in the new TL that creates the TQ steer. My modded car has less TQ steer then a stock TL.

 

take the extra money you would spend on the TL, and the money you wud lose on the cl, and mod the hell out of the cl. i tell you, if you get a supercharger, your fun factor will be off the charts.

 

I can vouch for that.

 

O-town represent .... throw your hands in the air like you just dont care .... heh ... keep it that way we can chill once i get a car ... hopefully a CL ... ill be moddin whatever i get once i get it ... and a job heh

 

a friend of mine has the 6 spd TL... i dont like it its too common (not the 6 spd, just the car)
TLs are running rampant (through out NYC) they just arent "original"

If you are thinking about getting an A SPEC... forget everything i said...
