i cant save the webpage but go to www.pikespeakacura.com and go to "internet specials" on the left. scroll down and check out the 2003 cl type-s that they say has 400 hp ?!?!?!?! is this for real?? comptech supercharger only adds like 50-60 hp right??? that would bring it up to around 320??? am i missing something? nitrous kit??

 

320 wheel = 400hp crank.

 

nevermind

 

are they offering to honor the complete and total factory warranty with that??? whats the price?? i bet they are asking 40k-45k

 

Just called on the car...they want 38K and will honor full factory warranty. THey also have a used 6spd w/ 3,000miles that they will supercharge and sell for 33K!! I'm going to check it out this weekend if they can get me a ball park estimate on a trade for the '02 that works....keep you posted

 

Not a bad price.

 

i wonder if all the acura dealers would be willing to do the same. Factory Warrenty with SUPERCHARGER =P

 

So, what does 345whp translate to.. 425hp?

I think I need to get 410whp and put a 500HP license plate on!

 

Typical dealer hype. I think it's probably got headers and the SC and they figure 400 h.p. with their calculations.

 

Hey Haus. did you check it out this weekend???/ let me know what's the scoop!!!!!!!!!

 

Unfortunatley, I ended having to go into the office on Saturday and didn't get a chance to get down and check it out. I'm going to call and have them run the #'s for me, hopefully get down to take it for a spin this Friday or Saturday.

Does anyone have ideas about how 5,500 feet of altitiude would effect the SC? Would the gains be proportional to those at sea level, or would you get less "bang for your buck"? Seems like the thiner air would negate some of the gains made by SC'ing

 

Too bad you couldnt check it out this weekend. Hope you have a chance though, I'm anxious to hear about cause i'll be in colorado springs in a months time!!!! and i'll definitely go there to ask them about getting me a supercharged cl under full warranty. should be awesome!!!!!

As for the altitude, it definitely makes a difference. You would definitely expect less gains with the supercharger (only anything) at a higher altitude than at sea level. Even though the oxygen content of the air is the same (21%) the partial pressure exerted by air is much less. I got some wacky formulas if you need to figure it out but i'm guessing that at 7000 ft which is what colorado springs is at you could expect maybe ~ 10-20 hp less than what you could get at sea level. that is just my apprixmation. anyone who got exact numbers please feel free to correct me.

let me know about the car. thanks haus
