New Guy Intro...

New guy checkin' in here. I'm not a current CL owner but plan to be when the new 6-speed comes out (driving my 2nd integra currently). I'm glad to see this forum especially for the CL. The internet never ceases to amaze me with all the shiite one can find.

But anyway, I have a question on the skidpad numbers for the CL-S.. I checked all the usual sources I knew of and cannot find the number. Any of youse guys (and gals?) know the number. I did see that the regular TL is a .78. I was hoping the CL-S would at least be in the low .8s. I like the handling of my GS Integra and was hoping the CL-S would be comparable even though it is much bigger and heavier. Can anyone comment? I see a lot of you put swaya on yours and I was hoping to avoid that.

the numbers from Car and Driver are .82.. seems like a nice nuumber I guess but there is still noticable body roll and overall feeling that you are indeed pushing a 3500 lb car..

coincidentally the subaru wrx also has a skid pad of .82 but has no body roll and drives like a shifter kart...

if you are expecting "tight" handling the sways and tires upgrade is probably needed..
