Slamming your car with cut springs isn't really the same concept as a 500+whp custom turbo set up. Cut springs provide a lowered look but do not help handling (other than a lower center of gravity). A turbo set up built of less than top quality parts still makes a lot of HP.
I would think slamming your car with cut springs is the same concept as bolting a turbo in under the hood that isn't actually hooked up to the engine, it looks cool but does nothing.

looks like this guy hit the haters harder than the haters hit "528HP". i feel the hate from this forum b/c I have a CL-P that I'm modding...they all act like the CL-P is a Toyota Corolla versus the CL-S which is like a Corvette Z06 (in comparison). Its the same car minus 35HP which I already gained. lol. well this is another story but i want you guys to take a second and think about how mad my claim just made some of you... i will never know what it is with these Acura owners (myself included at times). we are too much of hardcore enthusiasts i guess...than why the &^%$ did we push this guy away claiming a world record HP # for our luxurious CL??
also our engines are capable of sooooo much power. IM a believer that he got close to 500, but yeah i need proof for 528! think about taking the turbo off an STI, they got NOTHING!!!!!! lol. and our engines are so much more capable and are startiong at 260HP N/A!!!
o well i guess we're back to scratch! congrats guys!
You're a moron.

While his set up may not have won him any awards at car shows, it certainly has the potential at the track (assuming his HP claims are true).

I'm still laughing at this dude having cut his damn springs. 
If he's that mechanically inclined (
) I'm dying to go to his "CLSTYPSLOW SUMMER PROJECT" Thread. 
So what's the topic of conversation in that thread? Make your own ZR rated tires out of Bazooka bubble gum?
How about using air shocks from the trunk of a 1980 Buick Century to slam your CLS even lower after having cut your springs?
How about mixing turpine tine and rubbing alchohol and letting it age for a few months in an old barrel to get high octane racing fuel?
Maybe a topic on going to the junkyard and stealing suffix labels from totaled cars like Z or TURBO or X and putting them on your CLS
.

You try to come off like you're so innocent and you're only insulting people on this site for the good of...what?......who? Anyone that has any sense wouldn't pay any attention to anything anyone said on this site if there was no credibility to what they said, nevertheless, you take it upon yourself ridicule and harrass people.
Childish and ignorant is overreacting to comments like somebody just cut your big toe off with a rusty kitchen knife yet you want to pretend like the insulting comments you make are harmless statements that were only taken the wrong way. No, I'm sorry. That's called being a hypocrite but I digress. Childish and ignorant is continuing to insult people while thinking what you're doing is for the good of all mankind. If being warned for your comments by a moderator isn't enough of a hint that you need to chill out, then perhaps you do need to be flushed down the toilet.

Look, son. Nobody here is stupid. You definately chose the right screename: cltypeSLOW. The point is more fingers are pointing at you than me. You blatantly insult people and you have the gall to say your insults are taken the wrong way yet when I dropped a few obvious jokes in one post you want to retaliate with insults. And who's the childish one?
Now you want to cry because you've been reported to the moderators because you can't refrain from insulting people? I can call you all kinds of insulting names but I have better sense than to cross the line. It's one thing to crack jokes. It's another thing to insult. So it's up to you, junior. You man enough to stop defending yourself and move on or are you going to keep crying because you enjoy dishing it out but you can't take it?

Enough already. Christ.
Could you call him "son" or "boy" or "junior" any more often? You are portraying yourself as a victim here when you are the one who is totally on the offensive using your passive-aggressive stance. It's pretty pathetic. You started clowning on him long before he even acknowledged your presence. And the funny part is that you misinterpreted his point and thought he had cut his springs in order to lower his car instead of comprehending the analogy he was attempting to make.
Also, what's with the threats of being reported to the moderators? If the moderators feel like he needs to take a "vacation" then they'll surely see to it. Don't act as if you have their ear and they do your biding as you see fit.
It's threads like this that cause lots of the people who used to be around here all the time leave. I'm beginning to think I need to join that crowd.

can we close this thread? it's pointless... it's not even on topic. if you guys want a chat room, go on AIM or something...
and sideswipe. everyone on this forum would love to welcome new members, i've met a lot of AZ people and they're as nice as they get. but you're the new member, you have to respect the older ones even if they're younger than you. age on this forum doesn't play a big part.

It doesn't even have much to do with showing more respect to people who have been here longer. Just show everyone the same amount of respect unless that person has proven themselves to be a complete asshat. In that case flame-on.
In the case of sideswipe... any time you have to use your age as a barometer of knowledge on a car forum you're going to come off looking pretty weak.
