Man I wish I could have grabbed that guy by the neck and choked him. They did say some nice things about the car but NO LSD what an idiot. It did sound nice crusin by the camera, but the idiot hit the rev limiter just as they cut away from the car.

just saw it...they highlighted a ABP 2003 6 speed with the Comptech supercharger, Brembos, nice wheels, and the reviewer guy (somebody named "Kazza" 
...) was saying he didnt like the clutch/shifter but was nice to have a '300hp luxury sports coupe' that could blow the muscle car guys' doors off hahahah....

The Aegean Blue Pearl looked so nice 
Best color for the CL/TL-S imho.
And the guy was pretty dumb, too bad the owner wasnt there to correct his mistakes. No LSD? Sloppy shifter? I will agree with the strange clutch engagement though.

I just noticed this last week wjen I was vacuuming the drivers side floor mat....there is a black metal cylinder about the size of a roll of quarters welded onto the clutch pedal- seems like it was done VERY late in the design game...is it for weight balance ??anyone have any ideas on this ??

My email:
I would like to say I really liked the show. I appreciate the variety and nice cars. I do have to take some regret with the reviewer of the modified Acura CL Type-S. I own the same exact car, even the same color, so it was awesome to see it on TV. It is not a well-known car and it doesnt get the respect it deserves as a entry lux/sports coupe. He was pretty wrong on his evaluations however. It is a 6 speed manual, but it does have a LSD (limited slip differential) stock. The shifter has been praised ever since it was released as one of the best ever made for a fwd tranny, but I guess thats just opinion. I feel that a REAL reviewer or even better the owners thoughts & perspectives would be much better appreciated among us gear heads, than a celebrity that doesnt know too much of anything about the car. If I wanted fluff and umimportant info I would watch Hi-Rev Tuners and Nopi TV (j/k, but not really). :I
In conclusion great show and keep up the good work. But, put Shawn Hyland to work on a couple of those Mustangs he is famous for, not an import.

I watched it and just kind of tuned out the comments made by the reviewer ... nice wheels! I like what their doing with the RSX in the show but other then that, I found that it's a hard show to watch. They jump from car to car so fast that it's hardly worth watching. They have way too much going on. I know it's a new show so hopefully they'll realize that before too long.
I did see the Tuner Transformation show ... both weeks. What they did to that RX8 should be a crime. They really missed the boat on what should be done with it. The owner looked like he as going to shit when they delivered it to him. You could tell he was not that happy with it. The 240 they modified this week turned out really nice. They really need to show some basic transformations ... maybe to a civic or RSX or celica ... something that everyone can do (headers, springs, intake, etc ...) before they jump into custom wide body conversions.

would have been nice if they had done some "testing". Better yet, gotton a stock CLS and did some roll on races. Doesn't that car have headers and make more than 300 hp? I would think it's closer to 300 whp.
