15.6, if he spins all the way thru 1st...or he leaves his VSA on...15.4~15.3......absolute slowest. Even with VSA on..and in auto mode...15.3. If he puts it in SS and forgets to do the 2-3 shift...he'll lose a lil time.

That means his VSA (combo yaw/traction control) are on....it is really aggressive and any spin it senses, it bogs the car....yes we do torque brake also, there is no hesitation...but you have to set the tire pressure just right...this is a v6, so the torque comes on really quickly and can easily overpower the stock Crap-ichelins.

He wasnt torque braking..there is hesitation on all autos...when you suddenly floor it...the torque converter is loaded up and it takes a sec for it to go...

My slowest 1/4 time is about 20 minutes, and I got I/H/E, damn that was slow.
Maybe because it was rush hour and some 18 wheeler toppled over spilling timber all over.

Why not just race him and not worry about what other people ran in other cars on different days with different weights and with different conditions like temp, humidity, tire pressure, etc.?

Just run the guy and find out....

And yes.. he posted the same thing already a little over two weeks ago: http://www.acura-cl.com/forums/showt...threadid=99090 ..... so I'll just move this one to Racing Stories and get it out of Car Talk.

I ran a 11.4 in the 1/8th (not sure about the 1/4 time) at E-town during Acura wars. I spun almost the entire 1/8th at the track. It was caught on video. But then I ran a 9.31 (~14.4 1/4 mile) shortly afterwards, so the launch is the only place the CLS can mess up

Yup... That was me... Probably lost a few thousand miles of tire tread during that run. Yup, that was pure OBX power! HAHA

I don't have the CL anymore though. Replaced it with a 350Z

Have you ran your spec yet? any times?

my buddy has one with exhaust and CAI and he runs anywhere from a 9.8-10.3 in the 1/8th. he hasn't done the quarter yet.

I think you have a chance if you just race him till like 60, but after that the auto CL-S will probably pull ahead. Don't even attemp to race the 6-speed!

where are you gettin these standards?why would you EVEN run with vsa on and sport shifting?and 15.6 is more like slow non-type-s

whats up bro its ser spec v.. im under my brothers name lol.. ive ran my car at the track 8 times so far.. the first 4 times ive ran it the car was stock... and only with 1100 to 1500 miles on it... my 1/8 miles varied from 9.8s to 10.4s... best run stock was a 15.35 at 90 mph.... than the other 4 x's with the intake where about the same but they where from 9.8's to 10.0's in the 1/8 and a 15.18 at again 90 mph.. the launch is hard in the spec v if the car is not lowerd with springs.. u have really no choice but to launch the car only at like 1500... if i had springs i could launch highter at like 2500 or so i would run much better..THIS CAR GETS CRAZY WHEEL HOP!! my worst run to date was 15.8 something at 88 mph... which to me still isnt that bad for a basicly stock 4 banger..

Thanks. I really love the Z so far

It's definitely faster than than the CL. It's a 6 speed and it has significantly more torque which make it faster. It's a different feel than the CL, as the CL had great power at 5500+ rpm, where the Z has a much stronger mid-range.

I've seen a stock Z do the 1/4 in 13.8. I'm taking it to the track one day to see how I do.

Hey, I went to test drive the 350Z this last weekend at our local Nissan dealership, and I saw a black SE-R spec V on the lot, so I as them if I could drive that too.. Damn, I think that car is over rated..

I mean.. the Idea of having a 2.5L with "C-TEC"?? or "E-TEC" (can't remember now..) is cool, until you drive it. The car has a red link lower than the CLS, and the varieble timing control only last like 1200 rpms.. (I think I felt the switch over between 4.5K-4.7K) and the car red lines around 6K.. a couple of times I actually shifted to late because I was trying to feel the switch over, but it didn't last long enough for me to feel it.

I really don't think it would be faster than a CLS auto..

hi, the spec v and the cvtc is nothing like what happens like the switch over to vtec, it doesnt kick in like vtec at some rpm.. its continous variable valve timeing,. its all the time.. what u hear at 5000 rpm's is the second intake runner opeing up... and u can shift at 6250 on this car before the rev limiter kicks in

slowest I needed a sundial
cause I blew the tranny on my old Accord racing and I coasted most of the 1/4 mile because all it would do is rev up and it would put the power to the ground. plus all my buds were kidding me . they said d@mn i think that was a 10 1/4 time. one of my other friends said yeah a 10 minute 1/4 time.

I'm pretty sure I have the slowest timeslip:

Setting:
Las Vegas Motor Speedway, dry weather, high 80's

Car Setup:
AEM CAI
Comptech headers
stock wheels w/ Toyo Proxes T1-S (bald w/ no tread left, 20k miles)
full tank of gas
SS mode (wasn't aware that it was in SS, bounced off the rev limiter for a while)
I think I forgot to turn off my VSA

1st run ever:
R/T...1.419
60'...2.439
330...6.781
1/8...10.220
MPH...72.99
1000...13.352
1/4...15.985
MPH...85.89

2nd run:
R/T...0.748
60'...2.078
330...0.000
1/8...9.809
MPH...68.63
1000...12.907
1/4...15.525
MPH...83.89

I'd say the bad times are partly my fault, partly the track's fault. Something is definitely wrong with LVMS. A modded ITR ran 15.6, and a turbo lude ran high 17's. The usual imports (Si, GSR, etc.) all ran high 16's. A few domestic guys ran low 15's high 14's.
