Actually proper way is not to use SS mode. Everyone how doesn't use SS mode and just uses the gates gets 14s. SS doesn't hit redline.

You are one of the Biggest BSer's I have ever seen. This thread is gonna get locked CAUSE you opened your mouth in it

That is why mine pulled 2+ car lengths on 2 modded 5spd Maximas from 50-110.

Even in SS mode? Couldn't you just downshift to 3rd? Or even in SS mode, it will not allow you to do that going around 70mph?

. Steve told me to try to downshift to 3rd manually to see if it will work. Do a search on cl-s board for tranny downshift, you will find them talking about it. Idiot proof tranny pos. Oh well.

If bill calls you out on one of your 180's, if you just said "yeah, well I was wrong" or "actually, the Acura isn't as good as I thought it was" or "the Maxima isn't as good as I thought it was" and addressed each thing instead of accusing him of harassing you, you would make yourself look so much better
And then these guys would stop making fun of you too

Geez...that Acura 5AT is so idiot proofed that you seriously cannot do anything with it it seems. SS mode is just bogus. I could downshift my Accord V6 from D4 to D3 at 90 mph (the cutoff was about 92 I think) without a problem and it'd hit 3rd gear. 70-75? dayum!!! That really sucks! That would annoy the hell out of me.
Anyways, if a CL-S loses because the tranny is so idiot-proofed that the driver can't downshift, or is in the wrong mode or whatever, and then loses because of that, this is what people in the automotive world would call that.
An EXCUSE!!
This is why I got a manual tranny. No idiot-proofing. No BS. If I want 3rd gear at 75 mph on the highway then by golly I am going to get it!!!

Hm...interesting. I think the CL-S is a very nice car. I don't blame you for switching to one, but maybe you should have wait and got the 6spd one? A friend of mine is getting one, that's why I asked the questions. I better tell him to get the new 6spd.

Acura CL-S Proceedure to race a Maxima 5spd from 80 roll-on
[list=1][*]Turn off VSA[*]Turn off TCS[*]Start Race @ 80 (see option list below)
A) Downshift to D3 and fail to catch 3rd - idiot proofing.
B) Dowshift to 3rd in SS and fail to get 3rd - idiot proofing.
C) Just do nothing and duke it out in 4th and get smoked.
D) Slow down to 50 so that then you can get 3rd - idiot proofing.
[*]Use binoculars to see Maxima's ugly tails.[/list=1]Maxima 5/6spd Proceedure to race a CL-S

I'm sorry Russ, I don't mean to bust on your car but this bizarre auto tranny shift programming is just crazy...there's no denying that!

Steve,
I (and I think Russ) will agree on the programming of the autos for sport shifting. You don't really get a whole lot of "control" to do what you want and select the optimum gears. Instead of going simple, they obviously wrote bullet-proof firmware to take care of most conceivable situations. While that shows a good attention to detail, they also programmed some of the fun out of it.....

Russ-
BLAH BLAH BLAH.....excuses, excuses.....
I NEVER post BS kills....EVER...in fact, it's rare that I even post a kill at all...maybe once a month.
If you want confirmation...PM Furbiss112....he was there....and so was my brother in his Grand Prix, and my brother's friend in his 200SX.
I'm not going to argue with you becuase frankly it's not worth it. And the comment about the depreciation of the vehicle was just plain immature. Get a woman Russ.

I read this thread up until Russ' first few posts and then stopped. Now its just "blah blah blah, a maxima can never pull a CL-S from a roll, blah blah blah." As if I haven't done it twice on the street and once on the track, and as if brian hasn't raced enough of them to prove it too. Blah blah blah.

Im sorry to say, but you annoy the **** out of me. You Im me all the time to tell me that the maximas are at it again, but in fact you are the one who starts all the flames!! GROW UP!! I know the maxima has a good chance to a type-s.. why is that hard to belive his maxima beat him? You really need a new hobby, you will kill youself at a young age over this little stuff. Just move on... you own a CLS and be happy. You dont need to bad mouth or call other liars. Im surpised these maxima owners dont ever ***** you out, you need a good *** kicking. Im sorry i had to be the one to say it. Im just sick of this whole Maxima vs type-s threads. Finally we get a good story of a race and both owners being respectful, and then you have to come in here and ruin it. Just stop already. Damn go buy yourself a mustang.
