Even so, I will never admit a VTEC being better than a VQ though...

I'm not a bit surprised at this. A 6spd CL-S vs. an auto '02 Maxima, no contest. With similar horsepower, a car with a manual tranny usually will come out on top. A 6spd '02 Maxima vs. an auto '02 Maxima...the 6spd will kill the auto by just as much.

..Guess what Coochie pie, if that was an auot, it must be a slow a$$ one ! I would love to race a CL-S, since I already walkied a TL-S by 2 cars ! I would also want to make sure that the CL-S in the video was also stock. I might still get beat by it ! But I assure you that a 6 speed Max would have walked that piece of trash by at least one car. I lost to Leftcoast by 2 full cars, so that woould more than Suck up a CL-S and spit him out like the piece of SH!!T that they are !

it looks light the maxima driver let off the gas when he started getting walked. it made the loss look much bigger. also, it looks like he released the throttle quite a bit to let the cl-s cut in front of him. looks like there was oncoming traffic and they didnt want it to actually look like they were racing?

The reason I think they BLOW, is because the TL-S which is the equal to the 2K2 Max gets spanked time after time by the 2K2 ! Now this CL-S beats a AUTO Max by 2 cars, and I will assure you that most 2K2 6 speeds would walk this sack of CRAP all day long ! I would even challenge it to race me ! Is it wrong to bash the CL-S Costco ??

Why is everyone acting like the Max got slaughtered or something??!! The cl-s didnt even put any cars on it till about 70 or 80, right before the race was over. I mean sure the acura was pulling on him but I think the auto Max did pretty good against the cl-s with the huge advantage(6 spd).
Now you guys have to admit that if it was 6sp vs 6 spd according to the video the acura should get walked pretty good by the max.
Im looking forward to this race very much.

Listen Maxtor, why dont you go to a track and watch a 2K2 6 speed run. The spin like Mo Fo's of the line. Wheel hop is so bad that if actual traction was being layed to the ground, 13's would be in sight. What do you drive you sorry piece of SH!!T .

IMHO, it's not apples to apples.
I own both of these cars, and I have proved before that the Maxima 6 speed is faster in a straight line than my wife's CL-S auto. A 6 speed CL-S would be a different story based on the opinion of the service manager at the local Acura dealership - he says it pulls hard.
That CL in the video is definitely a 6 speed, and my opinion is that the Max is an auto. 6 speed vs 6 speed would be very interesting
In case you may be wondering, the Maxima will pull on the Acura in a straight line, but I can't keep up with my wife in the CL-S in the twisties....perhaps different rubber would help however the front end washes out much quicker in the Maxima than the Acura. Just my $0.02.

The 6spd max is definitly faster than a 2k1 auto cl-s. thats a given.

No, don't really have the time. Maybe I'll head over there, but when I was on there last year I didn't really see much traffic. Perhaps that has changed?
I have posted a lot on audiworld.com under the same user name, since I previously owned an A4. Can be quite time consuming though

i raced my friend's CL-S 6 speed tonight that i was talking about earlier.
we raced 4 times officially.
first time we took off and he got about a 1/2 car on me from the get go and we raced up to about 80 and he had about a car on me.
2nd time we were dead even from the launch until until we shifted to 3rd and i shifted to 5th by accident
it was all over
3rd time he took about 1 car off the launch and i went from 1st to 2nd back to 1st in my haste to get a good 2-3 shift. i lost and almost killed my tranny while i was at it.
4th time he took about a car on the launch and keep creeping a little further ahead by 80 mph. he was about 2 cars ahead when we shut down.
all and all, the main difference is just that my friend is a much better driver than i am but to be honest i think the CL-S is slightly faster anyway.
sorry, i didnt have a video camera like i had planned. we ran into eachother at 7-11 by chance so i didnt have it with me.

Kloogy, you talk to much sh*t. Everyone has been calm in here except for you. Your auto 2k2 would have a serious time even trying to beat a auto cl-s, look at the 6spd vs auto, that is a big gap, you can't tell me that the 6spd makes that much of a difference. We all run close to the same #'s except the TYPE-S has a higher trap speed.

14.1 stock a 6spd ran, haven't seen any Maximas do that yet, except a modded Altima.

How can you say that when the Acura got a late launch, and spun like mad. It has smaller tires compared to the max and its heavier. It has alot against it compared to the Max. But it still pulled past it.

The CL-S is a very nice car, why the hate? I would definitely take it in a heartbeat(6spd one only though). If I have a choice, I think I'll take it over the Maxima, the CL-S just looks better IMO. Now the 6spd one is out, it's even better.
Btw, nice run in the video. I wish the video was better though. Kind of hard to judge the race when the chase car was behind them.

2.1 60s on stock tires and a 14.2-14.3 is damn good and you won't get bettert than that on stock tires without slicks.
That is all the car is going to do stock.
