3.2cl-s

Not the type S versions, but I want to know the best 1/4 mile times for a CL-P or TL-P, stock.........I could of sworn there was a guy running high 14's, the people on the celica boards are saying that they can't even run low 15's...need some help here.

CL Platano

Stock I think they run mid 15's, by the way Celicas are slow.

3.2cl-s

not to be mean but that was an ignorant post, honestly you sound just like some of the celica people. The type S and GTS are equal...nuff said, ive owned both cars. Best NA GTS ive seen on the board was 13.7.....don't see that NA for the Cl-S.

Red-CL

Our cars aren't dedicated sports cars.

They're "Luxury Sport Coupes".

The SRT4 is faster too but which of the three would you rather have?









Hmmm

Fast go kart or all around nice vehicle?

03 CL TypeS

You're right about our cars not being dedicated sports cars, but neither are Celica's - they are sport compact coupes. And so are SRT4's.

As for what one would rather have, they each have their own appeal. Most women will choose a Celica. Most modern age hot rodders will choose the SRT-4 (fastest FWD production vehicle in the history of automobile for under 20K - can't blame them for choosing it). And people like me and most others on this board will choose the CL/TL because of what the car is: a sport luxury coupe or sedan!

FastAcura

The GTS isn't that much slower than a CL-S and I wouldn't consider high 14s slow, probably average. Still, those two cars are two totally dfferent.

Now, a 2.2 4 banger cl is slow!

LOL... there's a NA CL-S running 13.30s

Back on topic... No TL-P has run below a 15.0 I believe. Stock CL-P and TL-P will run high 15s around 88 MPH.

3.2cl-s

hmmm....nevermind then...o well.

I was never trying to compare the two cars anyways, I was just sticking up for the TL and Cl on the celica board. now I just got this quote about how CLS 6spd's run high 14's

no way in hell any type s is equal to a gts and there are ppl on the board who did run 13.7 N/A

fiveoh-tl

Who ran 13's w/ no power adder (and we're talking CLS/TLS)???

allmotor ran 13s N/A

RUF87

typeR has run 13s as well . . . 13.7s if I recall correctly.

As for stock vs stock (TypeS), I never lost to a stock or even slightly modded GTS.

I know that there are a lot more mods available for the GTS so it's not a fair comparison to say who would in a fully modded scenario. If you want to go there and change the comparison, I'd just get a different car than the TL and whip up on 13sec GTS all day long.

I had a TL before theTypeS and it was ok and would hang with a stock GTS.

typeR ran 13.30 last month

That's great . . . I'm betting he breaks in to the 12s . . .

i heard stock GT-S are limited on how fast they can get because they can't slap a turbo or supercharger on it. anyone know if this is true or not?

03CoupeV6

High 15s at 88?

Here's what I found for TL-P:

Car-Stats.com Report for 2000 Acura 3.2TL
Obtained from C&D March, 2000
0-60: 6.7 Transmission: Automatic
1/4 Mile: 15.2
1/4 Speed: 93


0-30: 2.5
0-40: 3.7
0-50: 5.1
0-70: 9
0-80: 11.5
0-90: 14.3
0-100: 20.9

Hobo

n/a != no mods

RUF87

No one . . . there are very few cars that'll run 13s without some sort of mod. Meaning factory stock and no factory performance special orders either.

So in that case, a stock TypeS will take a stock GTS.

Ruf

RUF87

. . . . and to go with that, here's a quote from Edmunds on the GTS

"The engine, a 180-hp 1.8-liter four, is best when used above 6,000 rpm. It is here that the VVT-i variable valve timing system changes over to the aggressive profile. The feeling is like having your very own little jet afterburner kick in. For maximum acceleration, and for the one-two shift in particular, care must be taken to keep the revs as high as possible. The engine's redline is 7,800 rpm, but a few hundred extra revs can be gained until the limiter kicks in.

With practice, 0 to 60 mph can be done in 6.9 seconds, and the quarter-mile achieved in 15.4 seconds at 91.6 mph."

So, it looks like even a TL-P will take a GTS when comparing apples to apples.

I don't believe those numbers for a second. Not a single TL-P has run lower than 15.0 at the track even with I/H/E/Pulleys/Tires/etc... how the hell does a stock TL-P do it in 15.2? Actually... most stock TL-S's run 15.2 @ 93,

F23A4

In my frequent rental of the 2G TL-P, I'd say that it does feel like a low 15 second car. I'd like to see how one with CT I/H/E runs at the track.

I once ran a brand new (at that time) 2002 Alti 3.5SE with my TL-P rental and held a bumper on him from a stop light to about 1/4 mile. (Even with my 02 Maxima, I dont sleep on any 2G TL.)

RUF87

We had a guy with a TL run high 14s with h/i and tires I believe. Another guy with a 2.2 CL was running low 15s with mods . . . so I'd buy those numbers.

Also, I ran 14.7s stock . . . . just wheels and tires.

I ran 14.8 @ 91 bone stock. But that was only once. The rest of the runs were 15.1-15.3

FastAcura

Something is wrong here. It takes the TL-P almost 6 seconds to get from 93 to 100 mph? Never heard of that! Especially not for a low 15 second car.

Didn't Willdogs have a video of his 0-100 run? That car seemed pretty quick for not being a type S.

ChucksCL-S

I just barely made it into the 14's with my '00 TL-P with I/H/P on STOCK wheels, turning a 14.99 @ 93.1 mph. Odo reading at the time was 184K miles.

ChucksCL-S

To add to my above post, the track conditions and weather were very good that day, which of course helped. Sixty foot time was 2.27. 1/8th time was 9.667. Then I bought lightweight SSR's but could only manage a 15.1. But with all those miles I decided I might be fighting a clogged converter, weak MAP sensor or someother sensor, coils, who knows. So much could be worn out that I'm fighting a stupid battle. So I will not go back, but I was shooting for a 14.8 as a goal. I will say this, that the now completed install of the thermoblock spacers along with the cooling mods and I/H/P makes for a strong running engine that still does not use any oil.

ferizzo

Actually I always thought that n/a meant "naturally aspirated," which means no forced induction (ie no NO2, Turbo, or Supercharger).

So technically speaking we have had a few n/a CLSs in the 13s (allmotor, typeR, and a few other CLS6s with i/h/e).

Oh and stock CLS6s are generally mid-14s at 96mph with the occasional low 14s (14.1-14.3) in there.

my stock TLS was a 15.2@93 and I believe that the TLPs/CLPs are mid to high-15s at 88-90mph from what I've read.

ChucksCL-S

Yes stock I was at 15.54 @ 90mph.

ga2000

lol i must have a freak my car is an auto with just intake my best is a 14.4 . so mabe with out the intake my best would be a 14.5 ............ my car is a type s

ferizzo

occasionally there is a freak in the bunch but I have seen more 14.8-15.2 stock auto Ss than 14.4-14.7s.

Black CL-S 4-Life

Dude, I don't care what you saw. Stock for stock a CL-S is faster than a Celica GTS period end of discussion.

Black CL-S 4-Life

BTW:whocares: about 1/4 numbers they aren't the end all be all numbers for performance. From a roll a CL-S will take down a GTS with ease. Like I stated in an earlier thread I've beaten a modded GTS before rather easily.
