'04 Accord 6MT vs. '03 CL-S 6MT

Went to our monthly SD Acura meet and had an opportunity to run a CL-S 6MT tonight.

At first, I was a little nervous because I know how powerful the CL-S is and I knew the driver was that I was going against was really good. The only thing I had going for me is I had Intake / J-Pipe / Innovative Mounts .. wasn't sure how much they'd help me but I was game.

We leave the meet and begin merging on the 805 South. Once we found a clearing for traffic and was up to highway speeds, we both dropped to 3rd and did a 3 car honk. After setting off, to my amazement, he wasn't pulling away from me. I'd say from 75-90mph neither of us were moving and I started pulling slowly as soon as I shifted 4th. I was no more than a fender ahead after letting off at around 105mph.

We couldn't really get in that many runs because my exit was coming up, but I'm fairly confident he'd pull me from a dig.

A 50mph roll would be VERY interesting, I'm sure we'll run again somtime soon. Next time I will film it!

Great race!

He's all stock except for different mufflers.

I'm sure with an Icebox / Headers he'd leave me pretty good.

Nice run man. I thought the CL-s 6MT ran pretty similar to us in terms of performance. They have only a little more power, but weigh more.

Get an exhaust!

Stock for stock, i'm pretty sure the CL-S would pull away. Tyler has an intake and j-pipe that helped him.

Maybe. Gear ratios are the same, they only have 15 more hp and 20ft lbs. Plus they weigh about 150+ more. Drivers race

I was looking at the CL-s when I was in the market for a new car. I should've looked for a TL 6MT

He raced me and I can vouch that his description is 100% accurate

The only other race that i've had that was this close was when I raced a 6mt 350z by my house lol

If this had been from a stop the cl-s would def get the jump being able to get traction of both tires due to LSD. MAN how I miss mine.
