Love it Tyler; the S looks AWESOME!

I'm sure it's a blast to drive around the track; I'd love to see some dash cam vids.

Any plans on beefing up suspension? (Not that it needs any)

Congrats once again!

Thanks gentlemen! Hands down, the CL-S6 is a superior daily driver. After daily driving the S for nearly 10,000 miles now, I will say that the CL has:

- Lots more room and comfier seats
- Much beefier power band
- Taller gears
- Awesome car to have on long trips
- Quiet - music is a much more enjoyable

On the other hand, the S2000 is pretty much the best handling car you can get for under 15 grand. In an ideal world, I would truly have both .. one day

I plan on upgrading the suspension soon, currently running some Form & Function Type 2s and they're starting to feel mushy and bouncy. I haven't decided on what the replacement will be, most likely the KW V3s or Bilstein PSS9s.

Rear tires will be replaced this week, only took 6800 miles to go through them

I hate to bump an old thread, but a friend of mine spotted my old CLS6 on the 5 Freeway

Glad to see it's in great shape and still running!

Bumping once again.

I went to our local market and I notice a silver CLS pull up and I quickly notice it's a 2003. Exactly like the one pictured above except it didn't have an OEM spoiler.

I approach the guy in the store and tell him that he has a nice car and whether if it was a 6 speed manual or auto.

Sure enough, it's a 6 speed - 95,000 miles w/ service records and there was 1 ding on it. Looks to be adult driven, interior / exterior were immaculate for a 12 year old car.

I gave him my number and told me to contact me if he feels like selling it .

Sometimes I should just keep my big fat mouth shut.

Hey there CLassy02

No not yet, but I'm almost glad he hasn't

The car was seriously immaculate, but if he does so happen to call or text me I will refer him to AcuraZine to make a sale. I think once it comes time to dump the S, I'll be looking at something with more room & 4 doors - perhaps a new WRX.

Guy called me back

Anybody interested in a mint SSM 2003 6 speed with 96,000 miles located in North County (San Diego)?

Timing belt service hasn't been done and he says clutch hasn't been replaced, but the car is mint interior & exterior with service records.
