Hey guys wuts goin on im new to acura's im actually pickin my first one up tom. So i brought it up to a friend who has an acura that i was pickin one up as well i tell him i am getting a 2000 3.2 TL instead of the normal congrats i got a TOO BAD! so i look at him and ask why too bad he responded cause wen we race i will smoke u. he has a 97-99 3.0 CL and was wondering who would win the only downfall is my car isnt a type s. So whats your guys opinion. Oh Yea both cars r bone stock but he has 2 12" subs in the trunk.

 

You'll win.

While he has a weight advantage of 250 pounds or so, that 4 speed auto is quite tame verses your 5 speed auto. An extra 25 hp and torque helps. His weight advantage becomes less important with those two subs in his trunk.

By the way, welcome to the forums

 

exactly..it takes a minute for that 3.0 to get going

 

Arite thanks for the input.... i piked up the car today just waiting for insurance shoulda had it today but the morons at the insurance company used the wrong vin number, hopefully tomm itll b on the road and i can show that kid wut a TL can do lol

 

YOU WILL SPANK HIM. 3.0CL 0-60 in 7.4. 00 3.2TL 0-60 in 6.7. no chance the cl will beat you.

 

welcome to the forums. You should tear him a new one.

 

u said 97-99...well wich is it cause look--->

BTW...congrats on ya new car. i also have a 2000 tl and i love it.

 

i dunno everytime i ask him i get a different year and all i see is the 3.0 emblem on the back (to lazy to look at the vin)

 

No contest: TL-P > AV6C when it comes to a drag race.

 

The J30A1 was a torqueless wonder. A well-driven 2.3CL manual can run stride-for-stride with the 3.Slow CL up until higher speeds.
