Is it hot or is it just me.....

Tell me what guys think? I have sold all my cars (04MDX, 03S200)which leaves me with my 01 CLS and my 05 RL on 22's. Debating wether to keep the CL or sell it to help fund my dream car (02 NSX).

Car looks clean, not feeling the playboy/gangsta rims though. The RL looks sweet! Definitely save for the NSX

man i love the red CLs, nice setup, and good thing you got a drop too. I'd say if you are without kids, sell the RL and keep the CL as a daily driver, then go for the 2001+ NSX, there are a few for sale on NSXprime.com.

I'm 100% behind selling the CL and getting the NSX.

When I get out of school and get a job (so...never.) I'd like to have a 4 door, and then an NSX/supra/300zx style car to scoot around in on the weekends.

The NSX has always been my dream car but I'm just afraid of that all aluminum body and my bad drifting skills. I also want a supercharger to boost the output upwards 325rwhp.

Like others have said, the CL is a sexy ass car, but sell it and get the NSX.

Your RL can be the daily driver/family hauler while the NSX is the weekend/baller car

I wish that was case RonDog but I have 2 diva's and 1 human wrecking ball of a son so I have to keep the RL eventhough it's to small at times. I should've kept my MDX!!!!!!!

Lovefab has some sick kits.

The one in the video is putting out about 550rwhp. They have a race NSX that makes 1086rwhp.

Turbo's trump sc's all day. Nothing like the sound of that surge. I wouldn't think of putting a sc on an NSX when there are SO many turbo options not to mention they offer so much more power than a sc setup.

When u compare dollar to HP gain the turbo is a far better deal than the S/C. The next major concern is who can tune it and how reliable is a turbo set-up.

With the correct tune (i.e. - a safe tune) it will last just as long as an NA motor. The clutch on the other hand....

Lovefab can tune, but obviously theyre in Canada. Im not sure what engine management they use, but you can find a tuner that can tune it.

Maybe I should drive the car with no engines mods for awhile to get use to its handling capabilities because I dont wont the same fate to consume my dream car as it did my beloved s2000. I was able to walk away from this without a scratch but I immediately got another then boosted it. I recently sold it to fund the NSX.

wow, That same hit in the NSX and you might not of been so lucky.Also I've heard the NSX's can be a handful till you get use to mid engine weight distribution.

Took my drifting skills to the streets and lost it when the right rear slid off the shoulder shooting me into an enbankment on the opposite side of the road at over 70mph. Upon impact the car went into a roll end over end snapping a 4in limb along the way which is the dent in my windshield. I rolled 9 times with my wifey in the car and the top down. GOD was with us that night!!!!!!!!!
