yes the CL has some traction problems.. but it is all about throttle control.
Are you sure the car was supercharged?... it could of just had an intake that was making you hear things....
The CL-S is a wicked animal from a roll just like the S2000....
I have yet to run in a straight line against an S2000 that was stock... the supercharged one, (base pulley), I raced was a nice run, but he lost by 4 car lengths before I intercooled my car and ran 9lbs of boost...
There are a handful of CL-S's and TL-S's putting down over 400HP at the crank on stock internals....just pick your battles wisely mostly all the heavily modified ones are sleepers.

Its well documented here that the 3300-3500 pound 280/287hp 350Z/G35 Coupe is basically even with the S.
So the CL being FWD, down 20 Hp and 20 ft/lbs, and weighing at least as much, should be a good click or two slower than the S.
The CL is a nice car, and no slouch for sure. But a rocket it is not.

There is a guy that posts over in the GTO forum. He has a CL that is stroked to I think 3.5L he runs low 13's at like 105 or something. The CL is a nice car. If it was not fwd I would have considered it for my everyday driver. Torque steer is a biatch!

I have a '01 automatic CLS w/ the S/C and my best time is 13.4 @ 105. I've never seen a stock S2k do that. The 6-spd CLS should be quicker given the right driver. Nice kill nontheless.

[QUOTE=dstanfield1977,Jun 14 2005, 07:33 PM] I wouldn't call it a wicked animal, its a FWD 3500 pound car with 260Hp.
Its well documented here that the 3300-3500 pound 280/287hp 350Z/G35 Coupe is basically even with the S.
So the CL being FWD, down 20 Hp and 20 ft/lbs, and weighing at least as much, should be a good click or two slower than the S.

Yes but on minimal amounts of boost it becomes an entirely different machine.
3.5-4 psi of supercharged boost, plus headers and exhaust will make 300whp on a 6speed CL-S.
Hell, there's a few turbocharged ones running around on 5.8psi and putting down 420whp on stock internals.
The J32A2 is a strong as motor and loves boost.
The CL-S in this "kill" story could not have been supercharged.

Like I said, nice car, not slow, but in regards to the previous post about it being an animal in stock form...well....

What would the same boost do to another excellent V6 like the Z's....the same thing. Its not like the CL-S responds better to forced induction than another comparable V6.

I believe a supercharged cl-s with no mods will put down abour 270-280fwhp. In terms of it being a close race. I believe so since the cl does weigh about 600pounds more than an s2k. But thats just ballpark figures. So dont quote me on exact numbers.

supercharged auto isn't too fast for the money...but the manual SCed CLs break into low 13s and high 12s (with other mods). Header itself on a type S gives something like 25-30 hp.
