TQ > MPG
Sounds good Steve, go chase 12's 
And an hour is NOTHING to drive to a track. I drive my mustang over 3 hours each way to get to the road course, beat the shit out of it, then drive right back home. If a 10 year old Ford can do it why not a new Acura???
And if you got real tires traction isnt a problem.

I'm pretty sure a S/C'ed CL-6 would run 12s if it could get traction. Remember...allmotor's time of 12.9 was run with 347whp. Additionally, his 13.5 N/A run had a significantly better 1/8 mile time than his 12.9 turbo time.
His 12.9 was on street tires. I have access to 16" Hoosier DR's anytime I'd like so 12s really isn't that out of reach IMO.
Add the intercooler and a 35 shot and mid to low 12s

With a car built up similar to scalberts, you would definately be in the 12's, possibly mid 12's with traction. As for the 35 shot, that would be a good addition. However, keep in mind that the emanage can only run one map at a time, and that means you will have to create two seperate maps and alternate every time you hit the track. Not a big deal but a hassle nonetheless.

I got a offered a deal on the new CL-S that I would have a very hard time passing up. Also, what else out there that offers all the amenities as the CL-S and also has the same performance potential, for the same price?

I dont know how I missed this thread. That first pic was hard to look at. Well Steve, Ive enjoyed reading your posts on you and that black monster. Looking forward to seeing what kinda beast you're gonna make out of a CL-S 6 speed.

its way out of the tranny shop mayyybbeeeee after a looooonnngg time back to the track and then 12s. TLs are a tough car to modify....you can hardly ever get the chance to drive it.

Wow even some of the OG's are heading over to the manual side. A sad day indeed.
Glad to see you're sticking with the CL though. Even if it is with that other drivetrain.
