TL-S faster than CL-S
Too bad all you CL-S boys are gonna be smoked by the lighter/faster TL-S. I am glad I waited for the four door version to come out before I bought my Acura.

let's see...
(from acura.com, weights w/o nav)
acura cl premium - 3470 lbs
acura tl (current) - 3483 lbs
w/o type-s enhancements, the cl is LIGHTER than the tl.
w/ type-s enhancements, the cl is heavier than a regular tl...
OH!!! i forgot that acura used anti-gravity plating on the type-s enhancements for the tl-s, so it must be lighter because those enhancements don't weight anything now!!!
if comparing apples to apples (type-s to type-s, prem. to prem), the cl-s will be several pounds LIGHTER than the tl-s.
so i'm sorry, YOU'RE WRONG!

You know, I look out my window every 4 or 5 hours to take a look at the awsome looking car I have. The CL is so beautiful, I know I will love this car for at least 7 - 10 years to come. Since I got it lowered I have only become fonder of it. Remember that we purchased the CL for many reasons. Alot of us purchased it for its power. I know that power was only one of many thoughts on my mind when I saw the CL TypeS.

That's okay, I really like my CL-S today. About as much as anyone can "love" a car. However, in 4 or 5 years, I'd rather have a '06 CL-S in my driveway. At least I think I would....

My previous car had four doors and I was looking to get something a little more sporty and less "family car" looking. Personally, I feel the only four door cars that don't look like family cars are smaller four door cars like the BMW 3-series and Lexus IS300. Other than that, you are driving a family sedan. In the case of the TL-S, a family sedan with some power.
If you are so worried about the performance numbers and not what you are driving then just by a CL-S and take all the luxury features out so that you can bring the weight down and smoke all of the other CL-S's.

If you want a fast 4 door get the 540i
j/k
I doubt the TL-S will be lighter than the CL-S. It's not possible cuz now you have to throw the VSA which I believe adds like 50 pounds if I'm correct.

So the originator of this post is fredjones and it was his first post here. Hmmmm, that's odd that he'd start one like this. I find it a rather ludicrous statement saying that one of two cars that have the same HP and weights within 100 pounds of each other will "smoke" the other. It's not worth getting all up in a tissy about though. We all love our cars whether TL or CL. Just stating the facts here though, neither car will be able to "smoke" the other.
Oh, I just had a thought... maybe he meant more people could "smoke" in the TL-S. That would be true then because the TL holds five.![](http://www.acura-cl.com/ubb/biggrin.gif)

ok...the TL is a 5-seater and the CL is a 4-seater. Doesn't that mean that the TL is wider because more people can fit in the back. So wouldn't it be heavier?

I think they are pretty much the same in regard to width...all that really matters is the weight, hp, torque, coefficient of drag...neither car will smoke each other...who brought this topic up anyway???

the TL is lighter than the current CL-P which in turn, is lighter than the CL-S. the CL-S is 3510 lbs curb weight. the CL-P is 3470. The current 01 TL is 3483. The 1999 TL, without side airbags and other stuff was in the 3300s.

Geez, you guys are pretty cranked up about this one post from Fred. IMO, Fred sounds like a fat sh*t and so he probably weighs 100lbs more than me and thus it would be a fair fight....

We won't know until official specs come out but here are the specs of the current CL/TL models so we at least don't have to argue over them...
CL-P - 3470
CL-P /w NAV - 3485
CL-S - 3510
CL-S /w NAV - 3525
TL Sedan - 3483
TL Sedan /w NAV - 3494
You can only compare the TL weight to the CL-P weight and doing that comparison shows that the TL Sedan is 13lbs heavier than the CL-P and the TL Sedan /w NAV is 9lbs heavier than the CL-P /w NAV.
Got the specs from www.autosite.com
