The 6-Speed has the same numbers as the TL-S and is lighter...

ahhh, touche

.... however, it is cheaper to install subwoofers and/or tweeters then to have a body kit molded

See, you would think that's an advantage, however, the traffic in my area on my commute would not be friendly to a manual, so I'm happy with my SS. I'll give it to you though... at least it's available on the CL, and it does put more power to the wheels

Money in it or on it????

AND

Is that before or after you put on:

Your modified wheel flares to accept the carbon fiber rims that only weigh 8lbs (currently on back order).

The special production run of 255/35-18 proxies that are coming

The rear-motor assist/50-50 weight ballast system.

The 3.5L bored out to 3.6L with uprated cams that needs the extra extrude-hone and dry-ice super cold intake system.

The S/C with under-drive and 6-speed conversion kit with AWD mods.

And front spoiler, underbody diffuser and variable geometry underbody wings to keep the sticky rubber on the ground at over 2-gs at 120MPH.

Hmmm.... sounds like a match between the 6th fleet and a bunch of head hunters in a leaky canoe
