newbie here, but not to forums...have a few ?'s

i just bought a 2003 acura cl type-s on monday. absolutely love the car. i cannot complain about anything really, except for the fact that the factory radio and speakers kind of suck. but i have a few questions, and i searched mildly, but i figured i would get my answers quicker by doing it here. i will delete my thread when all my questions are answered.

1-what can i expect out of the 1/4 mile with this cl-s automattic?

2-at what speed does our governor kick in?

3-do we have a rev limiter? (havent really gotten on it yet)

4-can we beat GTP's and mustang gt's?

sorry for all the newbie questions. we were all there once. i had a 2000 grand am before this and have been a forum member there for 3 year so im not a newbie to the boards.

thanks all, and its great to be a cl-s owner.

14.8 to 15.1? thats all. feels alot faster then that.

my buddies grand am ran a 15.2 and i got to drive it and it doesnt feel nearly as fast as this.

we cant beat a gtp or even at least a mustang? where can i read reviews about stuff like this? i wanna see how stock cl-s's compare to other cars. anyone know?

car feels FUCKIN FAST cause VTEC w/ V6, freeflow exhaust, but remeber it is a lux. coupe so it is heavy but can be easily modded to low 14's - headers, CAI, exhuast. we pull pretty well against 3 series, i beat a 330ci (5 speed) and a 325Ci (auto). GTP's give us a god run but we can't take 280 tourque

those are acurate numbers, but in reality, you should test it yourself and give us your results.
