here are the stats

- temp was between 85 to 95 degree
- ran with everything in sig including 19's
- 20 minute for cool down between runs
- this was the best times, all the other runs were in the mid to high 13's




comparing myself to how others performed it was pretty good considering the temp was extremely hot. everyone out tonight ran really slow. no stock evo or sti were able to get into the 13's.

the slip was against a modded srt-4 w/ slicks. we talked for a bit and he said he normaly run mid to high 13's on street tires.

also, d4 was used for ^ run

so the results weren't as good gate shifting?

was this after the tuning you were going to do? the trap seems a little low for your mods, but the heat wasn't helping anything either.

mattg

never mind on the tuning question, i saw the other thread.

bigguyonbike

i didn't use gate shifting at all this time. just SS and d4 because i was trying to work on my launch. trap is low probably due to the heat. i'll put the stockies on next time to bring the trap up.

power3dfx

pretty good numbers. but the stocks on and with 60 degree weather you should easily do a 13.2 or better.

Don't feel too bad. Even though I could consistantly hit low to mid 13s before... when it was above 80 the best I could do was 13.7 @ 103.

Although with the IC I would have expected better results in hot weather.


I promise to post SC'ed 6MT times before the fall

mattg

what if you sprayed a 75 shot right into the intercooler?

besides tranny =



i know where there is one for sale

bigguyonbike

i think the IC does post better times but the problem is keeping the fluid cool. when it's in the 90's outside the heat exchange just kept the fluid at about the same temp. if i had ice in the reservior it would of made a big different.

bigguyonbike

i wonder what you have in store next for your ride???

Spray the Subie Matt.

good times considering the weather

allmotor_2000

Keep at it... it will get better! That's actually a pretty good E.T. for the MPH - a 6spd would be hard-pressed to get there any quicker!

We'll see about that Is there room for one more in the 12 second CL-S club?

bigguyonbike

^ a friendly 12 sec competition, sounds good to me.

allmotor_2000

I think given our FWD dilemma... we should brag about MPH's, not E.T's cuz we will NEVER realize the true potential of these cars without pretty much converting them to drag cars!

However, having said that... if you DO hit 12's, I'll have to get my butt in gear and head to the track

I think you will, to be honest... and acura-cl.com will be very happy and supportive of your good work

I won't see the track until the end of July. But I really would love to see ANYONE else hit < 13 in the quarter

mclarenf3387

I wanna see all-motor hit 11

I've got a set of these to help with the launch

mrsteve

It would with slicks and a stronger pressure plate. But then i'd worry about the driveshafts.

Oh and did I mention I think I could hit a 12.9 or at least 111 MPH without the intercooler kit?

darrinb

with those tires it is possible

allmotor_2000

If you can muster ~110 mph... 12's is only a matter of traction. I am still real weary about slicks on this setup. Even with a somewhat mild launch... things started breaking the last time I tried a set. The CL-S can hit 12's NA @ 105-106 mph and I think I was pretty close to achieving that at one time... but things obviously did not work out as I had planned. Keep in mind that ~110mph is about 340-350whp with the standard vehicle weight.

Now, if one decides to drastically reduce weight... its much more easily achievable. However this car is a luxury coupe, so it should be fun to do it without gutting the car and making it a race-car!

Chopsie

Nice times given the conditions and wearing the 19's. Good work.

Always brings a grin to my face when a CLS gets to low 13's

Allout

Hope you can break into the 12's with good weather and the right tire setup.

Those aren't slicks... they are DOT drag radials... don't you see the three thin treads?

That's my buddy's RSX running 9psi and running low 13s at over 109MPH

bigguyonbike

hopefully if the weather permits i'll try again next weekend.
