CL is a body of an Accord Coupe. It's like putting a GS-R in an Accord coupe. The horsepower and weight savings are nice, but having about 20 less ft-lb/tq would succccckkkk

2.2CLs are bricks. If you are going to spend that much on the GSR engine, at least put it into a chassis that would benefit from it being there instead of wasting it on a chassis that is way too heavy.

Not to mention that the GS-R doesn't build sufficient torque for a 2,8XXlb car until almost redline.

Those F-series engines make their maximum torque around 4,800 (The F23 does) with plenty around 3,000. I think you'd be constantly revving to 5,000+ in normal traffic just to keep up.
