This article in its printed format from the magazine has been discussed MANY times, and the conclusion is that C&D did something wrong with the 1/4 mile time. Maybe it was a misprint, but notice how the 0-100mph time is 13.2 seconds, but the 1/4 mile time is 14.2 seconds? It doesn't take 1 full second to get from 100mph -> 104mph! There's something wrong with their numbers. Considering a few ACL members have run low 14s with the 6-speed CL-S with just headers and intake, C&D should have easily run something like a low 13 with the extra hp the supercharger gained them. We'll see what happens when some real people start bringing in the timeslips with the Comptech Supercharger.

It could take 1 sec between 100 and 104 if there is a shift point there.

Yikes! Is Honda "fixing" the transmission problem or just replacing the tranny with an identical one. After 100K miles we could all be screwed! I'm selling my car before the powertrain warranty expires.
