and check it out... it's pretty amazing

 

Just shows you that its pointless adding more power to a car with FWD.

 

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.

 

Funny thing is when i took my car to the dealer for some check up, I asked the service guy if anyone have tried out the supercharger yet and he pointed to the many bad tranmission lying on the ground.

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.

 

they replacing it with the new "re-designed" tranny.

 

many? how many were they 10, 20, 100, i didn't know that that many people had S/Ced their CL/TL...

 

NO!! that's not what i'm saying. Noone supercharge their TL/CL because of all the bad tranny issue. There was about 15 lying on the ground.

 

ohhh, i thought all those people S/Ced their car and weren't on this board which is kind of dedicated to modding our cars
