Switching from 800hp Supra to CL-S
Hey guys. I am condidering selling my impractical daily driver -- 1994 T66 Supra that put down 580 rwhp at 18 psi and 702 rwhp @28 psi to buy a CL or TL type S.
A few Qs -- does the CL and the TL have manual transmissions yet?
When will the comptec supercharger be out?
Anyone run NOS on their type S?
Anyone run agasint a S2000 or WRX? I test drove those cars too and they felt MUCH slower than the Acura.
I test drove a tiptronic CL-S and it felt stout. What do they dyno at? I love the looks. and practicality of the TL...just hope I could turn it into a 400 HP Supercharged low 13 sec car from it's current 260hp.
Any thoughts?

As for slower than the S2000 or WRX, definitely. (if the S2000 has a driver that uses the WHOLE RPM band and is a good driver) The WRX has the weight advantage and with a good driver should have no problem.
MOst CL-S' run around a 14.8 stock in the quarter. Do a search on DYNO and you should find a few posts on what these cars have dyno'd at.
HOwever, I think anything will feel slower to you when your moving down from a 800HP Supra.

Seems like you want more practicality but not steer too far away from the speed and style. Consider these:
2003 Acura CL-S 6-speed (manuals can take more abuse and mods). Still FWD
2002 Mercedes C32 AMG (for a little more than a modded 400hp CL-S, a factory version can run low-13s out of the box and without usualy aftermarket mod/service/tuning quality issues)
2002 Audi S4 TT (not quite as stylish as Mercedes but AWD and turbos mean easy low-13s with few mods)
buy/drive a beater for 2 years and save moola for 2004 Mercedes E55 AMG, as fast as a BPU Supra or Viper GTS but in silent secure 4-door comfort. 476 hp and 516 lbs-feet torque from supercharged 5.5L V8 and full boost a bit above idle.
2003 Infiniti G35: a four-door all-motor Skyline pretty much with conceivable high-13s out of the box with the 6-speed manual. RWD!
