Acura 3.2 CL Type S
A good friend of mine has a 2002 Acura 3.2 CL Type S, we're gonna race this weekend and I'll let you know what happens.
Any speculation on how bad he'll beat me? I've raced in his car before, it's fast. Anyone else have experience with the Type S? Suggestions to give me the best chance?
Both our cars are stock, mine is a 95 SE auto.

Does he have an auto or a manual tranny?
Either way you don't stand a chance. I'd expect him to beat you by at least 5 car lengths.. probably more like 10-12, but that depends on how well your car is running, what kind of tranny he has, and if it's a manual; how well he can drive it.

No way a stock 5spd Maxima is as fast as a CL Type S...The CL-S runs mid 14's stock and high 13's low 14's with Intake Y-pipe Exhaust...Do you even know if they make a Y-Pipe for those ???...Its probably just standard headers, since its V-tec :P

Also BriGuyMax another memeber an the org has a friend with a cl-s and he would smoke that thing when he was stock and had a slipping clutch. These cars run low 15s when they are stock thats nothing a modded maxima cant handle....but if their modded watch out they can run in the low 14s.

I raced a CL-S from 0 to 80. We were even and maybe he got a bumper on me at around 80, but that could have been something else, we were fast approaching a corner and he went for it, I didn't. That was when I had a CAI only. Now I have a CAI and Y. Gotta find another CL-S to race

I don't know what the heck track you guys are going to, but I have never, ever, ever seen a TL-S or CL-S run a 14 second stock 1/4 mile. Ever. And I've been to the track alot, and seen them there, alot. I have never lost to a CL-S/TL-S, and I've raced 3 of them. Two of them are fully N/A modded, including these famous Comptech headers. They are a 14.3 capable car on a COLD DAY IN HELL. I know a guy whos run a 14.3 in one, but I have never ever seen it. The quickest time I've ever seen for a Type S with my own eyes is a 14.68, that was against me. I ran a 14.50 on that particular run. Are they capable of low 14s with mods, sure. Can any driver pull those kind of times out of them, heck no. CHI99's auto moves, I don't think its a typical auto and I believe him when he said he's beaten a TL-S. Perhaps he got the year mixed up or just typed it wrong, but anyone who thinks their regular TL will give him a run is in for a RUDE awakening.
BTW, to the guy who said there's no 6spd CL-S, you might wanna check your info, I've pressed the clutch on one...

The 2001 TL's all had the 225 hp engine. That would still probably beat a stock auto max...dont know for sure about the manuals. My dad's 2001 CL-S auto chirps into second, its been said to be one of the few stock autos that can chirp the tires into second. ok, so chirping the tires doesnt exactly mean its extremely fast, but well, it IS really fast. This car compares with the '02 maximas, and for 2003 acura is introducing the 6-speed manual for them. I raced my friend's '02 max with the CL-S a few runs and it was close, but he wasnt able to beat me. I had him by at least 1/2 car lengths. if your car is stock and you're an auto and you beat your friends '01 TL, i would have to say i highly doubt that claim. And if you did beat him, that just shows your friend doesnt know how to use an accelerator pedal.

The thing with Acura V-6es is that the save the DOHC for the king NSX. All other Honda/Acura V-6es are SOHC. What does that mean on the street? Not too good torque down low, then VTEC kicks in at the high end to make up for it. Maximas, with DOHC V-6s, have a broader torque range.

All Accord V6's, and even the TL/CL and even the "almighty" CL-S/TL-S's are SOHC, not DOHC.
Trust me...I would know

You should make a bet with him. The only DOHC VTEC V-6 in Acura/Honda's entire lineup is the mighty NSX. NSX got all the toys.

Well actually the type s is really not that fast. Keep in mind that magazines are not always accurate...especially when a car companies *** is on the line....($$$$) but anywyas i have raced a type s the 4 door one...and i killed it..( I have a gsr) it was on the freeway so maybe they arent as fast i dont know. If you have an auto with no mods of course you will lose, but who know the other driver might not be good at driving it. Anything is possible when you race someone on the streets. Just because a magazine tells you the 1/4 mile for a car doesnt mean ****. (as I have learned)

My father has one and I've driven it quite a bit. Also, I have raced several ones, both at the track and on the streets.
My Maxima with Intake, Y, and Exhaust would be equal in first gear, 1/2 length lead in second.
On the freeway 3rd gear would be the same, 4th he'd pull a skoash, and in 5th I'd waste him.
At the track I ran a corrected time of 14.3 and another CL ran a corrected time of 14.8
