CL Type S 6-speed in Autoweek

Hope this hasn't already been posted. Slightly off-topic, except many of the things Acura has done to it are similar to what many of us have done: stiffer springs, shocks, thicker anti-roll bar in rear, etc. Looks like 6 spooke wheels but the poicture was of a running car so it may have been an artifact. AW claims Acura says it chops .5 secs of the 0-60. Not confirmed.

Thinsulate has been added to the doors - are they going hiking?

Here is a link to the abbreviated article:
Autoweek article


What is the author talking about when he says NVH? (noise reduction jargon?)

NVH

NVH stands for noise, vibration and harshness.

Just 15 percent of the 18,000 CLs coming to the States will be Type-S models equipped with the manual transmission,
Don't you love it when an "expert" inadvertently reveals their ignorance? Where does he think they're coming from, Japan?

And listening is why, for the first time since the CL Type-S was introduced in 1996, the car soon will be available with a close-ratio six-speed manual transmission.
I love well researched articles

Talking

It's also in the latest car & driver, they really liked the 6 speed, almost as good a shifter as the nsx I think they said.

not quite...

If you read it carefully, I think it was an Acura product planner saying that it was NSX-like, not C&D. So multiply that comment by .5 and you may have an accurate picture.
