CL Type-S vs Integra Type-R??

[dohc_i-VTECH]

I saw a "Acura" Intgra Type-R goin against the CL-S, FOR SURE its an CL-S, and that CL-S won by like 2 car lengths...im jus wonderin if thats possible, and im a newbie here too

[TheNotoriousMogg]

I really doubt that...I think you are full of s**t

[dnyflyby]

what mods did they both have. a cl-s should be door to door with an integra-r. NO WAY in hell he won by two cars. unless the itr couldnt drive!!!

depending on the driver, or the mods. It would be a good race.

The CL-S takes the cake. According to Edmund's an Integra Type R weighs 2672 lbs, has 195 hp [a ratio of 13.7 lb.s/hp] and can do 0 to 60 in ~ 7.1 sec. A CL-S weighs 3510 lbs and has 260 hp [a ratio of 13.5 lbs/hp] and does 0 - 60 in 6.57 seconds (automatic tranny). A manual tranny will do 0-60 in ~ 5.9 seconds. The CL-S also has 232 lb-ft of torque compared with a puny 130 lb-ft for the Type R. By the time the two cars have traversed a quarter mile the CL-S should be at least two car lengths ahead. BTW: the 260 hp rating is on the conservative side. This year Acura is publishing a rating of 270 hp for the same engine.

When I bought this car I compared it with cars like the 300M & the Cadillac Seville which ostensibly share a similar power to weight ratio. The Acura was waaaayy faster!!

how do you think they managed to get that extra 10 hp? it's funny, nissan did the same thing. the 02-03 maxima's have 255 hp and the 04 with the same VQ35 engine make 265.

Where did you get the 7.1 sec for the Type-R ? If you look in any respectable magazine like motortrend, etc you'll see that they pull of a 6.2 sec 0-60 and I've seen 1/4 miles as low as 14.6 for the Type-R in a magazine. I've read a thread were a guy supposably ran a 14.3 in a stock Type-R but I don't know if that's true. So really between those two cars it would be all driver.

From the factory the CL-S is 2nd fastest only to the NSX. Stock it beats both the ITR and the RSX-S in the 1/4 mile. I believe it runs somewhere around 14.6-7 range, and probably faster on better tires.

[AlexusVTEC]

doesn't the TL type S pull a little faster than the CL-S, making it second to the NSX? i remember looking at a chart in motor trend that showed the TLs pulling only fractions faster than the CLS in both the 0-60, and quarter

the type-r probably does run a 7.1 0-60 when they do those tests they dont launch, they just floor it.
on kazaa it shows a type-r and a cl run a 1/4 both stock and the cl one by 3tenths

[KrNxRaCer00]

honda s2k is faster than the cl. so i guess that makes the cl the 3rd fastest?
