red light and im chilling already, told myself i aint racing no 4 banger hondas. what pulls up next to me an ACURA coupe the new one "im like Honda (auto) v-6 vs max(5 spd) v6 candy from a baby". green light. all the way from 1st and 2nd gear the best i could do was stay to his door. i had to stop because a car was in front of me. but i also did not rev up before the launch it was just throttle after idle. i think if i built the revs up i would have kept up(beat him) better. are those new coupes that fast?? he had manufacture plates on it so it could not have been modded. wassup????

Dont forget your 18"s slow you down, did he have stock rims on? I noticed a big difference when i took my 17"s off compared to my stock 15"s.

If it was a regular CL you should have been able to beat it with no problems. If it was a Type-S, they run similar times to the 5sp Max's. You need a good launch to keep up with it.
